Triumph motorcycle of UK is now ready to create its own space with
new Trophy 1200 in German’s BMW Motorrad dominated sports touring
motorcycle segment. Triumph has launched Trophy 1200 to take on BMW R
1200 RT , K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL. Triumph revealed this motorcycle at
the Tridays festival held in Austria.
The new Triumph Trophy has been powered by 1215 cc, three cylinder,
shaft driven engine which produces maximum power of 132 bhp at 8,000 rpm
and maximum torque of 120Nm at 8,900 rpm. The gear ratio are designed
in such a way that the sixth gear will last long for better crusing.
Trophy 1200 comes in two options, Trophy and Trophy SE. Trophy is
standard model while SE is advanced and high tech model of Trophy 1200
which has features like electronically adjustable suspension, ride by
wire throttle, traction control system, electronic cruise control, Tyre
pressure monitoring system, ABS, sophisticated audio system, heated
seats and grips, electronically adjustable wind screen, Triumph Dynamic
luggage system, GPS system and number of features.
It comes with longest service interval of 16,000 kilometers for the
best service interval in sports touring motorcycles. Triumph dynamic
luggage system offers space of 31 liters which is enough for
carrying stuffs. It also ensures that you have better handling and ride
experience as the luggage adjusts itself while driving. According to
Triumph, “In fixed luggage systems, large loads cause small movements
and vibrations in the chassis – these can actually de-stabilise the bike
and cause weaving. The trophy’s system prevents this, keeping the bike
stable. This makes the ride much more comfortable for riders and
passengers.”
Triumph Trophy Price
Triumph has definitely done lot of homework before rivaling in sports
touring segment against BMW Motorrad . The motorcycle is expected to
hit showroom by January 2013. Triumph has not announced any pricing
detail yet, however it is expected that it will undercut BMW’s base
model pricing. Let’s see how it works against already established and
well known BMW brand.
