Triumph Speed Triple R – After eight months of buy, it is normal to take your new Triumph Speed Triple R in the workshop. An experienced mechanic will allow you to go around with your Superbike after only two days of work.
On average a new Triumph Speed Triple R should not undergo specific interventions after eight months of “normal” use. Especially good news from the oil. The waste is zero. The only extras, apart from the classic chain lubrication and controls to change the oil and filter, are the installation of the latest software update and the replacement of front brake pads.
After 5,000 km
The software update doesn’t add nothing new to the Triumph Speed Triple R. The pads have done their work. In our case, we were replaced after 5,000 km, of which 300 on the track. We recommend the Bridgestone S21 tires. They are sport tires and they work well with hot asphalt. The most versatile of the classic track tires. Perfect for a naked meant for the road and not just for the runway. The Bridgestone S21 heat up too quickly around 10 degrees. So, we have a very good feeling, progressive movement and sufficient grip for the fall.
Where to go with the Triumph Speed Triple R?
If you want to make a nice tour with your new Triumph Speed Triple R. Because you don’t choose Washington DC, Virginia, USA. If you want to buy the new model of the British brand, you might ask Triumph Dulles, 24 miles away from the American capital. Once you have purchased your new Triumph Speed Triple or start your tour from the White House, the symbol of Washington DC. Then go to the Lincoln Memorial and at the Library of Congress. So, take Pennsylvania Avenue, you’re not on the track, true, but the road is very pleasant and you can take advantage of the Triumph Speed Triple R and its Bridgestone S21.
Bridgestone S21
A tire useful both to a “quiet” naked and to a maxi Supersport bike. A cross product difficult to design. Because the features to combine are different and in many ways opposites. Good handling, grip wet and dry, and a good life. Features that Bridgestone engineers have tried to condense in the new S21, developed by S20EVO.
The S21 is the first Bridgestone tire range made with U-EYE technology. A new indoor system to analyze the behavior of the tire at different speeds and conditions. It studies the distribution of contact pressure, helping to find the ideal combination of compound, tread design, construction and profile.
First, the new S21 was revised shape of the carvings and then the full/empty ratio to optimize the footprint and the grip. The profile is new. More pointed to emphasize maneuverability, improved the contact area on the tarmac and pressure distribution.
The Tread is New
The composition of the tread is new. The front tire uses the dual compound technology (shoulders and central area). The rear trimescola (shoulder, middle zone, the middle part) for an increase in the mileage payloads declared by the 36%. Ten sizes available: four front (from 110/70 to 130/70), six rear (from 60 to 150/200/55). All suitable for 17″ wheels (with the exception of 130/70 that born 16″).
Now it’s time to have lunch. So, why not go to Sweet Green? Before you take your new Triumph Speed Triple R and heading to Union Station and then to Macy’s.
Sweet Green
At Sweet Green, you can heat: Warms Bowls, such as Shroomami, with organic wild rice, shredded kale, raw beets and bean sprouts. Pesto Portobello, with warm quinoa, organic arugula and roasted chicken. Harvest Bowl, with organic wild rice, shredded kale, apples, sweet potatoes and roasted chicken. Or some very interesting salads.
The End of the Travel
Because not go to Georgetown. Here you will find many bars and restaurants. But also many shops. You feel like you’re in a provincial road and not in the U.S. Capital. During the winter, we can also travel on U Street. A very famous street, even if we do not understand why. Maybe the heat is most busy. Finally, we can close the trip visiting Chinatown.
