I'll take a Ducati Red every day of the week, and there are slick colorways from other manufacturers too, but in terms of quality and diversity, I see Triumph putting the other major brands to shame. I've already ridden some of Triumph's bikes with blistering paint schemes, but for 2026, there are even more on offer, further extending the Hinckley brand's dominance in this area.
Triumph hasn't just added a colorway or two; it's launching 12 new paint schemes throughout its range, and they'll all be available from Summer 2025.
One of the models getting the most attention for 2026 is the Tiger, well, to be more precise, the Tiger 900 GT, GT Pro, and Rally Pro. The new standard color for the Tiger 900 GT & GT Pro is Sapphire Black, but you'll also have a new option in the form of Snowdonia White & Sapphire Black.
The new standard color for the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is Snowdonia White & Graphite, but those who want to stand out from the pack will appreciate the addition of Sapphire Black & Triumph Performance Yellow for 2026.
Triumph's modern classic selection is getting more modern than classic with the addition of four new paint schemes for 2026. The Speed 400, which is one of the brand's lowest capacity bikes, gets two new colors in the form of Pearl Metallic White and Phantom Black, and Lava Red Gloss and Storm Grey, while the Scrambler 400 X now comes in Baja Orange and Aluminium.
The biggest brother of the Scrambler 400 X, the Scrambler 1200 X, gets a Matt Khaki Green paint scheme for 2026. This is the brand's trademark off-road paint scheme, and it's a borderline crime that it wasn't on the Scrambler 1200 X until now, but thankfully, it's here now.
The racier among us can also get excited for what Triumph has in store for the 2026 Street Triple R and Street Triple RS. The lower-spec Street Triple R has a new standard paint scheme named Phantom Black, which is essentially a blacked-out look with contrasting Diablo Red accents.
When nothing but the sharpest knife in the drawer will do, you go for the Street Triple RS, and for MY26, its new standard color is Granite with Kingfisher Blue sparingly dolloped on for contrast.
Finally, and most impressively, are the added paint schemes for the Rocket 3 GT Storm and Rocket 3 R Storm. The Rocket 3 GT Storm now comes in Matt Sapphire Black and Satin Granite, which comes with a Sapphire Black flyscreen, headlight bowls, mudguards, radiator cowl, and side panels.
The Rocket 3 R Storm looks arguably even more imposing in its new Satin Baja Orange and Matt Sapphire Black colorway, and I reckon this is my favorite new paint scheme from Triumph for 2026.
