2014 INTERMOT: Triumph Street Triple RX breaks cover

With every major two-wheeler manufacturer showcasing new products at the 2014 INTERMOT motorcycle show, Triumph Motorcycles too joined into the fray as it showcased a new derivation of the Triumph Street Triple christened the Street Triple RX. The Triumph Street Triple RX isn’t an entirely new bike but is a special edition offering of the Street Triple from the British motorcycle manufacturer. In terms of styling nothing much has been changed apart from the new sharper looking tail section which seems to be carried forward from the Triumph Daytona 675 supersports offering. Other features specific to the Triumph Street Triple RX includes a quickshifter as standard, along with a bellypan and front cowl. The red and silver dual-tone colour shade is also unique to the RX.

Changes made to the new bike are restricted to the cosmetic front as the powerplant is carried forward from the standard Street Triple. The Triumph Street Triple RX is powered by a 675cc, liquid-cooled, triple-cylinder motor churning out 106PS of max power and peak torque rating stands at 68Nm. Power is transmitted to the rear-wheel via a six-speed transmission. Braking is done by Nissan sourced disc brakes at front and rear whereas fully-adjustable KYB suspension system takes care of damping duties.  The Triumph Street Triple RX will be priced at a slight premium over the standard offering and will be available on sale in the European market from January 2015 onwards.
