TEC Stage 2 Performance Camshaft – Triumph T120, Speedmaster 1200, Bobber, Thruxton R, Thruxton S

(12 customer reviews)

£360.00

TEC 303 Performance Camshaft for select 1200cc water-cooled motors from 2016 onward. Pre Euro5 models only see below –

Made from CNC machined, heat treated and precision ground steel billet stock.

Fits Triumph T120, Speedmaster 1200, Bobber, Bobber Black, Thruxton R and S models only.

WILL NOT FIT SCRAMBLER 1200, SPEED TWIN, THRUXTON RS, TFC or later Thruxton models due to different fitting.

For use with standard ECU tune on Euro4 bikes.

Suitable for replacing the original camshaft in bikes using the (Triumph part number): T 1147525 camshaft.

In 2016  when Triumph originally announced the 1200cc bikes and accessory range they listed a performance camshaft and de-cat exhaust (Camshaft part number A9610492).  However, likely due to changes in USA Emission laws, they decided not to offer the cam or de-cat exhaust for sale after the bikes were released.

We decided to develop our own cam for the 1200cc bikes based on that performance camshaft concept.

Our 303 cam has more lift, duration and overlap than the standard cam and is designed to give a good spread of power and Torque right across the rev range, without need of any other modification to the motor.

Due to the larger valve overlap, our cam does not need the complicated exhaust valve lifter mech and this is not used just the OE chain sprocket required to be reused.

Just make sure the bike has a good battery fitted for cold cranking.

Basically a fast road cam, much more usable than a race cam. But as with most performance cams you may loose a very slight amount of power below 2500 RPM. However, it will have massive gains at higher RPM.

The lack of exhaust lift and overlap on all Euro 4 cams is one of the biggest areas that can easily be improved on.

Can be used as a stand alone modification with no other changes.  Just bolt in and go (just like Triumph designed it to be).  Can also be used with exhaust, air box and other changes for further gains in performance.

Typical power gains in a stock bike are over 10+ BHP at rear wheel. Very slight reduction in torque below 2500 RPM (but not noticeable when riding) with very noticeable torque gains at all revs above 2500 to rev limit with a wide and flat the torque curve in mid range. More torque = improved acceleration and less gear changing.

Even more power will be available with an ECU remap as revs can safely be extended by 500 RPM and ignition advanced if you run super unleaded fuel. Further gains can be made if you improve the exhaust flow or remove the Cat.

On Speedmaster 1200 and Bobber models – to get the best results, you must use high flow air filters of pod type filters pod filters as the stock air-boxes on these models are too restrictive.

The video is a guide only and I would suggest using it along side the workshop manual from Triumph or Haynes.

Delivered promptly, Customer service via email good. The only small criticism is the fit video missed out some key parts for me e.g marking the chain position before removing, putting back together the chain tensioner, and setting the position of the chain tension before tightening screws. These are all in the Haynes manual that you recommend, but it would be good if it was in the video, which other wise was excellent. Fitted and working although i did have to call in an extra pair of hands for the setting. I am still running it in, but already feels more lively. Looking forward to giving it the beans soon :)

performance camshaft and dcat x over

ok guys sorry for the late reply as dcat x over took 3 weeks to arrive. Cam shaft fitted and valve clearances required adjusting. D cat x fitted spot on also fitted K&N air filter. Engine now running flat spots have gone and now have good power delivery throughout rev range have not noticed and loss at low RPM. This was a very worthwhile investment in my mind and would recommend to anyone thinking of doing the same Just do it you will love it more power and good sound. Regards Steve.

TEC Cam 1200 Speed Twin

Just adding a wholehearted endorsement for this cam. I installed it 40,000km ago and it has been absolutely great. Reasonably easy to install following video instructions and performance gains excellent. Together with intake and exhaust mods (snorkel removed, K+N air filter, decat, open V+H pipes) + a dyno tune (PCV), RWHP up from 84 to 98 with no noticeable losses in low/mid range. Makes the Speed Twin everything it should be :-) Highly recommend.

Tec kamaxel Scrambler 1200

Inkörning ca: 50 mil, så jag har inte testat prestandan än. Dessutom måste jag skaffa nytt startbatteri. Ingen dekompressions ventil på nya kamaxeln.

1200 twin cam shaft, Speed Twin

Have the Tec cam in my Street Twin 900 and was very happy with it so also fitted the Tec cam into my Speed Twin 1200 and am also very happy with it. Performance improved across the RPM range with the bike now pulling from just under 2K RPM and stronger all through the mid range and higher RPMs although i do not spend much time above 5.5 - 6K as there simply isn't the need. The bike pulls so strongly from 2.5 - 5.5 that is where most of my riding is done as the pull out of corners is plenty. Also fitted k&N type air filters and have custom header pipes with the cross over near the radiator removed and a full size cross over fitted approximately where the cat would normally be. So with the Tec cam the bike can breathe properly and really opens the potential of the engine up. Pipes are Predator Pros from British Custom. Currently running T120 gearing although a tiny bit too tall is far better than the OEM Speed Twin gearing which is just too low for an engine with that much power (compared to the T120). Highly recommended performance modification.

Fork springs

The progressive fork springs are a worthwhile improvement over the single rate units, especially if the preload adjusters are added also. You end up with a much plusher ride and you don't feel every bump in the road. I can can recommend them.

Speedtwin with even more grunt

This cam gives the speedtwin even more grunt, very satisfying! Installation is pretty straightforward, expect to reshim the valves, all of mine needed doing, still an easy job compared to most jap 4’s. However, because of the Speedtwin’s weedy battery (thanks Triumph form over function) cold weather causes starting problems. It seems that the valve lifter on the standard cam is only there to accommodate a small battery on a big twin. I bought a Lucas lithium battery with 280 cca and problem sorted !

Camme su 1200 xe scrambler

Ottimo prodotto. Prestazioni molto migliori. Consumi invariati. La camme Tec non ha il decompressore automatico come l'originale. Si consiglia di montare un batteria da 14 amp togliendo l'alloggiamento per il telefono sotto la sella. Come consigliato dal costruttore la moto deve essere decatalizzata. Il filtro più aperto è in base ai gusti del proprietario. Comunque ottimo prodotto.

Camme su xe 1200

Ho montato la camme, prestazioni molto migliori, consumi uguali. La moto era già decat. Ho però dovuto montare il booster plug per regolare le incertezze poco sopra il regime minimo. Ho fatto delle prove il filtro aria più aperto non serve. Per me meglio l'originale è troppo magra. La camme non ha il decompressore automatico come l'originale. La batteria stenta perché troppo piccola per le nuove alzate della camme quando si avvia la moto. Togliendo il coperchio sotto sella dove si mette il telefono ☎️ si recupera 2 cm in altezza e si può montare una batteria da 14 amp con 230 cca di spunto. Saluti.

Exceptional

I fitted the performance cam to my 2018 1200 speedmaster the result is fantastic my bike is better in every gear right through the rev range Thruxton’s & speed twins no longer pull away.

Cam Shaft

I ordered the camshaft in december--fast delivery--unfortunately I can't install the camshaft yet because our local Triumph dealer doesn't have the required parts (seals for chain tensioner etc.) in stock yet--thank Corona. But I am looking forward to it Greetings from Austria Georg
