The Street Triple RS has the exhilarating power and low-down performance of the updated 765cc engine,  developed by Triumph’s Moto2™ engine team, now Euro 5 ready, with higher precision machining on the crankshaft, clutch and balancer that has lowered rotational inertia to give a more responsive and refined ride.

Peak torque of 79Nm @ 9,350 rpm on the RS model is higher for this new generation motorcycle, with a 9% stronger spread across the mid-range.  The bike’s new balance pipe smooths the torque curve to manage that addictive Street Triple performance and power.

With a high peak power figure of  123PS @ 11,750 rpm for the new RS model this next generation update delivers 9% more power in the mid-range for an even more thrilling and dynamic ride.

The new RS model enjoys an improved responsiveness that has primarily been achieved by a 7% reduction in rotational inertia gained from higher precision machining. When combined with the increase in torque across the rev range, the improvement in the Street Triple’s immediacy is notable.

A smoother more refined gearbox has short 1st and 2nd gear ratios for exceptional Street Triple acceleration performance and slick gear changes. The higher precision machining has enabled the removal of the anti-backlash gears, which has reduced overall mass and added a higher level of riding refinement.

The Street Triple range is renowned for its exhilarating ride and handling and this has ensured its worldwide reputation as a superb accessible ride. The amazing power-to-weight ratio is central to the Street Triple’s game-changing performance and agile handling, and at 166kg (dry weight) the RS model is the lightest bike in its class.

A more distinctive and aggressive new look for the new Street Triple brings sharper, more purposeful twin LED headlights that are whiter, brighter, more conspicuous and more aggressively styled. The LED lights benefit from low energy consumption and greater long-term durability, while the bigger Daytime Running Lights (DRL) on the RS (where local market legislation allows) offer increased visibility.

The new Street Triple’s distinctive styling is complemented with new more contemporary bodywork that brings cleaner lines to give a more angular and more sporty look.  Restyled elements include a more pronounced fly screen and air intake unit, new side panels and new rear unit. Plus exclusively for the Street Triple RS, a new colour coded seat cowl and belly pan, plus a more distinctive silencer with premium sporty carbon fibre finisher.

New shape mirrors give the 2020 Street Triple a more contemporary front end look and the new handlebar clamp has been restyled to feature premium Triumph branding.  In addition new black control plates and rear footrest hangers, and satin metal heel guards and silencer all exhibit more harmonised component finishes, while the new Titanium Silver coloured main frame of the RS contributes to the highest level of finish ever seen on a Street Triple.

The top spec RS model now features unique 2nd generation graphics schemes on the TFT instrument screen, The TFT screen angle can be adjusted for optimum visibility to suit rider height, and works with ergonomically optimised switch cubes and 5-way joystick.

Fitted as standard to the Street Triple RS, Triumph’s very own Shift Assist is an up and down quickshifter for smooth comfortable gear changes while maintaining the accelerator position.  This reduces rider fatigue, and gives the motorbike an even greater ride capability, particularly on the track.

Five riding modes on the new Street Triple RS (Road, Rain, Sport, Track and Rider-Programmable) adjust throttle response, ABS and traction control settings to optimise performance to suit the rider.  In addition, ride-by-wire for precise throttle response, adjustable ABS, switchable traction control and self-cancelling indicators are all part of the new Street Triple’s high technology standards.
