It’s the story of an infusion of green tea, sleeping on the back of an inky night. Peaceful notes like After-Eight, where only the scents of mint and chocolate are missing to escape into indulgence. But beneath the duel of colors, the smells are those of gasoline, a twin, and a certain interpretation of speed. Who is it ? This is the 900 Speed Twin, in its Stealth edition.
A member of THE Triumph collection of 2024. Its particularity? Tanks with a black front letting out a gradient of a specific color. For example, blue for the Bonneville, orange for the Scrambler, purple for the Bobber… It will be a beautiful English green for the average Speed. Nuanced and delicate, this touch of glamor maintains its personality.
Triumph likes to show its know-how with its collections. This is also how you enrich your reputation.
Like the motorcycles badged “Gold Line” then “Chrome”, the “Stealth” will only be available for one year. But before we hit the market, let’s see how Hinckley cooks them.
First step, predisposition. The tank is first prepared and painted with a silver gloss finish undercoat. This allows you to enhance the hand painting work.
Second step, the main pose. A graphite sticker is applied manually and continuously from the front to the rear of the tank. The installation will allow a gradient that reacts to light.
Third step, finishing. An intense Candy color is applied in several layers to finish the process and add a translucent touch. One of the most appreciable features of Stealth colors is that they are more or less intense depending on their exposure to light and the observer’s viewing angle.
Thus dressed in “Phantom Green”, the Speed Twin presents a welcome little touch of delicacy. Especially for a bike that wants to be the sassy version of the Bonnie T100. The appearance is retro with more pep in the lines, the charm side tends towards neo-sobriety, and the vitality is conceived with 65 horsepower in this well exposed engine.
Here you are the exact opposite of an MT-07. We don’t play provocation or joke around, but rather a trendy and contained release. Which does not prevent us from having some well-known advantages, such as the two Driving Modes, a USB socket, wheels with machined spokes, disconnectable traction control, a chiaded finish, a saddle height of only 765 mm, all in an easy and not sad ride.
