Triumph Street Triple 765

The updated Triumph Street Triple 765 has been spotted testing for the first time. Here’s our full analysis, including the expected launch timeline.

The Triumph Street Triple range comprises the updated R, RS, and the all-new Moto2 Edition. The updates are comprehensive, and for more details, check out our report.

Features: The duo come equipped with sleek LED headlight and DRLs. The headlight nacelle and the side panels have been revised too. The top-spec Moto2 and RS variants comes with a full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity which offers turn-by-turn navigation and phone/music control. It also features GoPro integration, five riding modes. The 'R' variant, on the other hand, gets four riding modes, along with optimised cornering ABS and traction control. The R variant’s console has also been updated from a semi-digital unit to a LCD-TFT combo cluster, just like the Triumph Trident 660. Lastly, the range-topping Moto2 Edition comes with lowered clip-on handlebars, Moto2 theme in the TFT console, carbonfibre bits on the bodywork and two exclusive colour schemes.

Engine: The Street Triple Moto2, RS and R use the same Euro 5/BS6-compliant 765cc in-line 3-cylinder engine. That said, they've been tuned for different power outputs. The Moto2 and RS, for instance, make 130PS at 12,000rpm (7PS more than the previous-gen RS variant) and 80Nm at 9500rpm (1Nm more than the previous-gen RS bike). As for the Street Triple R, it produces 120PS at 12000rpm (2PS more) and 80Nm at 9500rpm (3Nm more). Both bikes feature a 6-speed transmission aided by a slipper clutch and standard bi-directional quickshifter. Differences extend to the bike's hardware as well. Though both bikes use an upside-down fork from Showa, the RS comes with high performance big piston units (BPF) while the R uses separate function big piston forks (SF-BPF). The same goes for the rear monoshock: where the former makes use of a fully-adjustable Ohlins STX40 shock with piggyback reservoir while the latter makes do with Showa unit, also fully-adjustable. Braking is via Brembo Stylema calipers up front for the RS variant and Brembo M4.32 calipers in the R model (both with dual 310mm discs), whereas the rear uses a 220mm disc with Brembo caliper in both variants. The extreme Moto2 Edition comes with Ohlins NIX30 fork / Ohlins STX40 monoshock - both fully adjustable, whereas the braking system is the same as the RS variant.

Rivals: The Street Triple range goes up against the Ducati Monster, Kawasaki Z900 and BMW F 900 R. The Moto2 Edition, sadly, is not sold in India.
