I’ve just been reading the MCN (weekly motorcycling newspaper in the UK, for those elsewhere) ‘first ride’ review in last week’s paper.
Apparently Triumph have modified the balance shaft, rubber-mounted the bars and reduced the engine vibration considerably (89% they say). The mirros don’t blur at cruising speed any more - MCN are calling it a “game changer”.
They’ve also added 1kg to the crank and flywheel assembly to sort out the problem with the bike stalling during u-turns, when the engine revs are low and you’re feathering the clutch. The level is a bit longer for extra control, as well. I suppose that may be a variable experience depending on the size of the rider’s hands.
Smaller changes - the footpegs have been raised a few millimeters, ticked them in to the bike a bit more and shortened the hero blobs. All in the name of avoiding grounding, which is also a bit more likely now they’ve added the ability to lower the rear preload by up to 20mm at the push of a button. The seat is also flatter and heated on the GT, like the Explorer.
Other than that, it’s as-you-were since the 2022 model changes. Overall a positive very review.
There’s a full online review on the MCN website.
