Charleston Triumph & North Ridge Custom Cycles

Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled an exclusive new Speed Triple 1200 RX limited to just 1200 motorcycles worldwide. Charleston Triumph has one.
With a fully focused riding position delivered by more aggressive, sportier ergonomics, the new Speed Triple 1200 RX is the ultimate incarnation of the Speed Triple.
The RX limited edition delivers absolute focus with clip-ons and a machined top yoke, which are 69mm lower and 52mm further forward than the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS. Adding to the more focused riding position, the footpegs on the RX are 14.5mm higher and 25.5mm further to the rear than the RS model.
Delivering absolute precision and control, the state-of-the-art Öhlins electronic suspension is enhanced with the Öhlins SD EC steering damper. The control of the electronic damper is integrated seamlessly with the Ohlins Smart EC3 system to deliver light, agile handling and optimum stability, and it can be adjusted via the Öhlins Objective Based Tuning Interface on the instruments.
Fitted as standard only on the RX, the new Akrapovič silencer features a titanium outer wrap and mounting bracket.
Just like the new Speed Triple 1200 RS, the RX delivers unmatched triple power and torque, peerless handling and top of the range rider-focused technology. Triumph’s 1160cc triple engine delivers relentless acceleration and performance with 183PS at 10,750 rpm and 128Nm at 8,750 rpm.

The 1776 Victory at Sullivan's Island was Marion's most prominent combat experience in the immediate Charleston area and occurred early in the war. On June 28, 1776, as a captain in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment, he fought under Colonel William Moultrie at the Battle of Sullivan’s Island (at the mouth of Charleston Harbor). Stationed inside the incomplete, palmetto-log fort (later named Fort Moultrie), Marion and the Patriot defenders successfully repulsed a massive assault by the British Royal Navy. Marion is even credited with firing one of the final, parting artillery shots at the retreating British fleet. The Bizarre Escape of 1780Marion’s legendary status as the "Swamp Fox," however, only happened because he didn't fight in the final Siege of Charleston in 1780. During this tense time, he attended a dinner party hosted by a fellow officer at a home on Tradd Street in downtown Charleston. The Leap: The host, following a common custom of the era, locked the doors to ensure no guests could leave until everyone had partaken in an endless series of alcohol toasts. Marion, a deeply disciplined man who despised excessive drinking, decided to slip away. He opened a second-story window and leaped out to the ground below. The fall severely fractured his ankle. Because he was incapacitated and unable to fulfill his duties, military commanders ordered him evacuated out of the city to recover in the countryside. Why the Accident Saved His War CareerJust weeks after Marion was carried out of Charleston on a litter, the city fell to the British on May 12, 1780. Had it not been for his broken ankle, Marion would have been thrown into a brutal British prison ship, effectively ending his military career. Because he was safely in the interior of the state, he was free to slip into the Lowcountry wetlands (on a Triumph), organize "Marion's Brigade," and launch the relentless guerrilla campaign that permanently frustrated British forces for the remainder of the war. Morale of the story-if you have a few too many and hear the British coming-jump out the window and fight another day. Happy 4th y'all.
