Braking System of the Triumph Speed T4

The Triumph Speed T4 is equipped with a robust braking system designed to enhance safety and control on various road conditions. The key components of this system include:

• Dual-Channel ABS: This advanced technology ensures that both the front and rear brakes work in harmony to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, thereby maintaining stability and control. Dual-channel ABS is particularly beneficial in emergency situations, allowing riders to maintain steering capabilities while braking forcefully.
• Disc Brakes: The motorcycle features disc brakes at both ends—a 300 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear. These discs are paired with high-quality calipers: a four-piston radial caliper for the front brake and an axially mounted floating caliper for the rear brake. This setup provides efficient stopping power, although some riders may find that the front brake lever lacks feel compared to higher-end models.

Benefits of Dual-Channel ABS

1. Enhanced Safety: By preventing wheel lock-up, dual-channel ABS significantly reduces skidding risks during sudden stops, which can lead to loss of control.
2. Improved Stability: It helps maintain traction on different surfaces (wet or dry), ensuring better stability under hard braking conditions.
3. Confidence Boosting: Riders feel more secure knowing they have advanced technology supporting them in critical situations.

Suspension System

In addition to its impressive braking capabilities, the Triumph Speed T4 also features a well-designed suspension system aimed at enhancing ride comfort:

• Front Suspension: Equipped with telescopic forks that provide excellent suspension travel, effectively absorbing bumps and irregularities on roads.
• Rear Suspension: Features a pre-load adjustable gas monoshock RSU (Rear Shock Unit) with an external reservoir for improved damping characteristics. This setup allows riders to customize their ride experience based on load or personal preference.

Dimensions

The motorcycle’s dimensions contribute significantly to its overall handling and accessibility:

• Seat Height: At 805 mm (or slightly higher depending on sources), it offers an accessible riding position suitable for most riders.
• Ground Clearance & Weight: With a ground clearance of 170 mm and weighing approximately 180 kg, it strikes a balance between maneuverability in tight spaces and stability at higher speeds.

Available Colors

Available in three stylish colors—Metallic White, Phantom Black, and Cocktail Red Wine—the Triumph Speed T4 not only performs well but also looks great doing so.Overall, the combination of dual-channel ABS brakes with high-quality discs along with its effective suspension setup makes the Triumph Speed T4 an appealing choice for those seeking both performance and safety without compromising style or comfort.

Design & Features

It also features standard stock-type rearview mirrors rather than bar-end mirrors. Additional highlights include new stickering designs on its bodywork along with chrome-finished fins that add an aesthetic touch without compromising functionality.

This motorcycle embodies authentic Triumph style while offering premium specifications combined with high-quality finishes—representing unbeatable value for money in its segment. With its smooth ride quality due to torque-rich performance coupled by confidence-inspiring handling capabilities; it’s sure going be popular choice among those seeking authentic British engineering excellence without breaking bank!
