With the full factory fitted arrow system and map fitted it was time to give the Speed a run on a Dyno to see where the power is at.

Triumph claim on a brand new bike the Speed Triple at best puts out 135bhp and 82 ft.lbs torque at the crank with the cans fitted, effectively mine has lost 5bhp and 7ft.lbs of torque.
