With
a throttle action and torque delivery map directly engineered from a Speed
Triple 1200 RS, the track testing and dynamic rider assessments on the TE-1
prototype demonstrator deliver a level of handling that matches Triumph’s
current triple cylinder internal combustion sports performance motorcycles.
The
TE-1’s exhilarating level of performance and acceleration, combined with its
engaging and dynamic riding package, result in a bike that delivers all of
Triumph’s signature feel, and world-renowned neutral handling – a smooth,
predictable ride, that is agile and nimble, great in the corners, with a
controllable power that incites confidence and guarantees fun.
Distinctive
and thrilling soundtrack, building to the most spine-tingling crescendo – the
Triumph TE-1 prototype’s pure, characterful sound is considered to be more
appealing and exciting than any of the equivalent electric motorcycles
currently available, thanks to its unique helical gear pair primary
transmission. With noise levels tested at Mira’s external noise measurement
facility, the TE-1 successfully achieved all noise standards set by the R41
homologation tests for wide open throttle, cruising and urban.
Instantly
recognisable as a Triumph, the TE-1 prototype’s muscular presence utilises
signature design cues from the brand’s iconic modern history of performance
motorcycles, while clearly being a bike of the future. Now updated with its
final body panels and paint scheme, the prototype demonstrator brings a style
and presence that is 100% Triumph, with all of the brand’s signature design
DNA, from its aluminium frame to its distinctive twin headlights and head-down
focused stance and poise.
