Problems With Marzocchi Front Fork Speed Twin 900 (2025)

DistoSXF · Jul 17, 2025

Hey everybody,

few weeks ago, I read about problems with the Marzocchi front fork of the new Triumph Speed Twin 900 (2025) for the first time in a YouTube comment. It sounds rattling or banging on uneven roads. At slow speeds, this can also be clearly heard and felt in the handlebars.

I am now actually affected by this and it has increased within the first 1k km. I also reported this to the dealer at the 1k km inspection. However, he only said that it was the same with his demo bike and that's the way it is.
But I'm not happy with that. I suspect that there is actually a problem with the product.

I also discussed this in a German forum and there are actually other owners of this type of bike with the same problem.

Today I have also written directly to Triumph by e-mail and am waiting to hear back.
Now I would just like to know if there are any other owners here who are also experiencing this problem.

kind regards

Disto

Over 1300 miles on the clock and no such issues with my Speed Twin. Let's hope it stays that way !

@DistoSXF:
This sounds not normal. There should be an reaction from Triumph. I am disappointed with the reaction of your dealer!

Just logged into Triumph Technical Information to check if there was any information on this reported front suspension issue. Nothing, although there is a recent Technical Bulletin 252 which is for an ABS Calibration Update. This is to be done at your next dealer service or book an appointment to have it done. Obviously not urgent but I suppose at some point I need to make an appointment as I don't allow dealer servicing. I hate appointments!

@DistoSXF Welcome to the family. Can't help. But if it was my bike i would be handing it back and saying fix it or refund me. You don't buy a new bike to have these problems.

This is interesting. Is this Marzocchi front fork set up a new thing on the ST900? I've got the 2017 Street Twin, which hasn't got the Italian forks. When did the Marzocchi kit appear?
