The new Street Triple has the same specs as the international models and features a bigger and more powerful engine
Triumph India has announced the launch of the Street Triple S with prices starting from Rs 8.5 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. The Street Triple is one of the best-selling middleweight naked performance motorcycles in the world and the 2017 avatar gets a considerable amount of upgrades over the outgoing motorcycle.
Though the motorcycle looks almost identical to the outgoing model, there are subtle differences such as slightly larger headlamps, a compact tail section, redesigned mufflers and alloys. The new Street also features a rider’s perch that’s 10mm higher and weighs 2kg less than the previous bike.
The engine has been derived from the Daytona 675R and now displaces 765cc in an inline 3-cylinder configuration. The power has increased to 113PS from 79PS and the torque too gets a significant bump and now stands at 73Nm compared to 57Nm of the outgoing model. The engine also features new crank, pistons, connecting rods and balance shifter. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The engine has been rebored and features a longer stroke resulting in a higher torque rating and it also comes with multipoint sequential fuel injection.
The chassis remains identical to the old bike, but the new Street Triple S does feature a new gullwing swingarm for torsional rigidity. Up front the bike features 41mm Showa USD forks which feature Separate Function Forks or SFF while the rear features a Showa monoshock unit with piggyback reservoir. The braking duties are handled by twin Nissin 310mm discs with 2-piston calipers in the front and a single 220mm Brembo disc at the rear. The bike sits on 17-inch wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tyres measuring 120/70 R17 in the front and 180/55 R17 at the rear.
The Street Triple S also features a semi-digital speedometer, ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, ABS and two riding modes, road and rain. Other features include LED position headlamps and self-cancelling turn indicators. The Street Triple rivals the Kawasaki Z900, Ducati Monster 821 and the upcoming MV Agusta Brutale 800.
