Triumph Street Triple 765 range revealed

Triumph’s new Street Triple range is here

Triumph Street Triple 2017

IT’S the bike that changed how we think about bikes, the naked middleweight that showed how much fun naked middleweights could be.

So we’ve hardly been able to wait for the new Triumph Street Triple ever since we saw it in spy shots last year – and now we don’t have to any more.

Triumph has just revealed the long-awaited new Street Triple range.

The much-loved naked bike has gone up in capacity (just as we told you it would) from 675 to 765cc.

Three new versions of the long-awaited model have just been revealed at a press event in London, ranging from ‘addictive everyday fun to full track weapon’ according to Triumph.

They are the Street Triple S, Street Triple R and Street Triple RS (pictured above), each with different specifications, technology and suspension – and each with more power than the current model’s 105hp.

The Street Triple S makes 113hp, the R (pictured below) 118hp and the range-topping RS 123hp.

As well as an increase in bore and stroke, the engine has been given 80 new parts including crank, pistons and Nikasil-plated aluminium barrels, improving low-and-mid-range torque, Triumph says

Where the current model makes 50lbft, the new Street Triple S makes 53lbft while the R and RS both make 56lbft.

The old Street Triple was known for its lightness and nimble handling and Triumph says the new range is even lighter and more agile, with a new gullwing swing-arm claimed to improve high-speed stability.

Each of the new Street Triples has a claimed dry weight of 166kg, 2kg less than the existing Street Triple R, the current range-topper.

Each of the new Street Triples also has a new ride-by-wire throttle with traction control and riding modes.

The R and RS get an assist and slipper clutch as well as a full-colour TFT dash and switchgear incorporating a ‘five-way joystick’ to take advantage of their more advanced electronics.

The RS also has a quick-shifter for up-shifts, and a lap timer.

All get new bodywork and styling, with a sportier twin seat and what Triumph calls a ‘nose-down’ focussed attitude

The fly-screen, radiator cowls and new integrated air intake are new.

The RS is the ‘most explosive and adrenaline charged Street Triple ever, built to be at home on the track and a weapon on the road’, Triumph says. It gets five riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport, Track and a rider-programmable mode.

It comes with the highest-spec suspension: Showa big-piston 41mm forks, adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping, and an Öhlins STX40 piggyback reservoir monoshock.

It also gets the best brakes: Brembo M50 four-piston radial monobloc front calipers and a Brembo single-piston rear.


The new Street Triple RS

The R is the ‘definitive street fighter with a specification and set-up for focused road riding’, according to the firm.

It gets four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and a rider-programmable mode.

Suspension comes from 41mm upside-down fully adjustable Showa separate-function big-piston forks and a Showa piggyback reservoir monoshock. Brakes are Brembo M4.32 four-piston radial monobloc front calipers and a Brembo single-piston rear.


The Street Triple R

The entry-level Street Triple S is the one for the ‘addictive everyday ride’, Triumph says. It’s got two riding modes: Road and Rain. Suspension is from Showa upside-down 41mm separate-function forks and a preload-adjustable piggyback reservoir monoshock. Brakes are two-piston sliding front calipers and a Brembo single-piston rear.


The Street Triple S

All versions have shorter first and second gear ratios for ‘stronger than ever acceleration'.

All of course have ABS, which can be switched off or adjusted for road and track settings on the R and RS.

All three also get new rubber. The S and R models are shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas while the RS has Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs.

Standard seat heights are 810mm for the S and 825mm for the R and RS. A ‘low ride-height’ version of the R will be available, with its own suspension set-up.

The R and RS get new LED daytime running lights.

Colour schemes are:

Street Triple S       -           Diablo Red or Phantom Black (Metallic)

Street Triple R       -           Jet Black (Gloss), Matt Aluminium Silver or Crystal White

Street Triple RS    -           Matt Silver Ice or Phantom Black (Metallic)

Prices will start from £8,000 on the road for the base-model Street Triple S in red. Pricing for the rest of the range is yet to be confirmed.

The RS is due to be available from March, the S from April and the R from May.

Arrow exhausts will be among a range of 60 accessories.
