How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built for covering long distances comfortably with a smooth triple engine, ample torque, and weather protection rather than for outright sportiness.
- Built for
- Delivers a relaxed, torquey in-line three power delivery with a refined, understated character typical of Triumph's touring triples of the era.
- Not ideal for
- Not a good fit for riders seeking a lightweight, flickable machine for tight canyon roads or any form of off-road use.
