The 'latest' Triumph Trophy is a touring motorcycle launched by Triumph in 2012. There have, however, been other Triumph models bearing the Trophy name over a long period. For example - Triumph Trophy models with 3-cylinder 900cc engines and 4-cylinder 1200cc engines were manufactured at Hinckley starting in 1991. The new version features a 1,215 cc (74.1 cu in) liquid-cooled, 12-valve, straight-three engine,[1] which is mated to a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive. The engine is also used on its dual-sport sibling, the Tiger Explorer,[2] although on the Trophy it produces slightly less power and has a taller sixth gear, more suitable for the touring proposal of this motorcycle.[3] The base model will be complemented by the SE, which features extra equipment such as electronically adjustable suspension, a Bluetooth audio system, and a tyre-pressure monitoring system.[2] The SE will be the only model sold in the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil.[2]
