The 2021 Triumph Speed Twin will have the same design, but there will be significant updates under the skin
So, that leads us to make some guesses on where the new Speed Twin will get updated. Going by Triumph's updates of past models across the line-up, the 2021 Speed Twin sounds like it's going to get significantly updated. The 1,200 cc parallel-twin will likely retain the same basic architecture but is likely to get updated internal components, and the chassis as well as suspension could see minor updates as well. The overall silhouette though remains the same, with the fat 41 mm upside down front forks, twin rear shocks and muscular shape.

New Triumph Speed Twin is expected to be launched in India very soon. Price will be around Rs. 10 lakh (Ex-showroom)
The first "new generation" Speed Twin, which made its debut in the Indian market in 2019, was a wholesome product, a motorcycle which had the performance to thrill, and the handling to back it, with beautiful, yet sporty modern classic design. The Speed Twin however, couldn't quite become a success in the Indian market, where the smaller Street Twin, and the Bonneville T120 became quite popular in the Triumph modern classic family. This time around, with updated specs, and features, Triumph will hope to make the Speed Twin more attractive to the Indian motorcyclist. But pricing will be key, despite the Speed Twin always being a superb all round motorcycle.
