Brand collaborations are the norm these days and here is one between Triumph Motorcycles and watchmaker Breitling, the 2022 Triumph Speed Twin Breitling. With a limited production run of only 270 units worldwide, the Speed Twin Breitling purchaser will also receive a special edition Breitling Top Time Triumph watch, matching the bike. The Speed Twin Breitling comes in a polychromatic blue paint job, unique to this edition. The paint colour choice takes inspiration from the Triumph Thunderbird 6T of the 1950s, complemented by the hand painted black band on the tank.
As a collaboration model, special
attention is paid to details on the Speed Twin Breitling such as premium
leather seat with Breitling logo and instrument panel faces matching the watch
face. The clutch and alternator coves are made from aluminium with the
Breitling logo machined in, as well as the edition number displayed in a
special insert on the handlebars.
Adding to the premium nature of the Speed
Twin Breitling, Ohlins rear shock absorbers are installed. Aside from that, the
spefications list is the same as the current catalogue model Triumph Speed
Twin.
In 2021, the Speed Twin was given an made
over, with more power from the parallel-twin engine – 98.6 hp at 7,250 rpm and
112 Nm of torque at 4,250 rpm. The Marzocchi front forks went up in size from
41 mm to 43 mm diameter, along with twin 320 mm brake discs with Brembo
four-piston Monobloc callipers.
