THE ALL-NEW TR-SERIES ENGINE
Named to celebrate the historic Triumph
‘Trophy’ bloodline, whose roots can be
traced back to the racing singles of the
early twentieth century, and in particular
Six Day Trial offroad competition. This allnew
fuel-injected and liquid-cooled 398cc
single-cylinder engine combines Triumph’s
trademark modern classic style with state-ofthe-art
engineering to deliver class-beating
performance with a responsive, fun and
characterful power delivery along with an
evocative, rich and distinctive exhaust note.
Technical highlights include a four-valve,
DOHC cylinder head and a crankshaft
that has been perfectly weighted and
balanced to optimise inertia for low-speed
rideability. A finger-follower valvetrain with a
low reciprocating mass and DLC coatings
that reduce friction also contribute to this
free-revving yet tractable engine’s capacitydefying
performance.
The six-speed gearbox delivers light,
precise gear selection with ratios
perfectly spread to make the most of this
characterful and torque-rich engine.
