Triumph Motorcycles is introducing a new colour option for the 2023 Speed Triple RS. An all-new striking and vibrant Matt Baja colour will join the current colour options. The other two colour options are the Matt Silver Ice and Sapphire Black. The new Matt Baja Orange features on the bike’s tank, side panels, rear bodywork, headlight finisher, seat cowl and belly pan. However, the front mudguard continues to use a carbon fibre trim to underline the sporty character of the bike.
For now, the new colour option will be available in the international market. However, Triumph does not assemble or manufacture the Speed Triple RS in the country. The model comes to India via the CBU route hence expect the new colour to arrive soon.
