Ooops, I posted a thread on TRAT alluding to actual information on TST.com.

Are we getting Matt Black in the US?

Hey guys,

I've been hangin around this site for quite some time. I am finally gonna pull the trigger on two new Triumphs, the D675 and the S3. When I saw the news a few weeks ago about the new shade of black. I was glad to see that I was going to be able to get the color I was going to eventually paint my new S3.

Does anyone have any news on the new color? Are we actually gonna Matt Black in the states? My dealer doesn't seem to know and his rep is not returning his phone calls.

I do hope that that the UK and Europe riders are not going to be the only people to get the new shade of black.

I noticed that there haven't been that many posts on the subject.

Any info would be new info.

Thanks
John

I like the flat black. If you look at the pic on the Triumph USA website it looks flat. Definitely different than the glossy used to look. So I would guess yes, though when, I don't know:

They've discussed it on www.thespeedtriple.com. Check it out.

Apparently someone saw it and the green and yellow in flat also at the dealership next to the factory at Hinckley.
