2021 Triumph Speed Twin: booking and launch details
Triumph recently gave its Speed Twin a thorough update for 2021, and the new bike is now on the verge of coming to our shores. The company has already begun accepting pre-bookings for Rs 50,000, indicating that an official launch is just around the corner. The Speed Twin will arrive in a single variant, and we expect it to be priced around the Rs 10 lakh mark (ex-showroom). This would mean a hike of a little over Rs 50,000, which is in-line with the price progression in the UK.
