THE 4-H.P. TRIUMPH PROVES ITS SPEED. The 1914 model 4-h.p. Triumph lias already earned a magnificent reputation for its reliability, perfect flexibility -".ad ease of control, and its- adequacy to the most exacting and difficult of sidecar- service. As a speed machine, liow- ! ever, it has been something of an unknown quantity. On Saturday, speed trials were conducted on New Brighton beach by the North Canterbury Motor Cyclists' Club, and a T.T. 4-h*.p. Triumph, driven by Mr G. B. Brown, the well-known Triumph rider, excelled tho highest expectations that had boon formed regarding its speed capabilities. A measured course of five miles was covered in 4min. 44 4-ssecs., or at the rate of over fi3,miles per hour, a truly xnarmellou- jxtlV nuance for a single-cylin-der enfti.'ie of only 550 c.c. capacity. The performance demonstrates that the new Triumph is easily the fastest singlecylinder machine ever constructed, and it will compete in future in the 750 c.c. class. .The new Tourist Trophy models ar© now to hand, and will be found to embody a number of detail improvements upon previous models, in addition to the slight increase in engine capacity. The price of the' Tourist Trophy Triumph, is £70, and the full racing model is the same price. The Bepeed Roadster Model sells at £87 10s.
