Triumph Street Triple RS launched at Rs. 10.55 lakh

Triumph has launched the new Street Triple RS in India. The bike is priced at Rs. 10.55 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

The bike measures 2,065 mm in length, 1,085 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 1,410 mm. The seat height is 825 mm. The bike weighs 166 kg and comes with a 17.4-litre fuel tank.

Aesthetically, it looks similar to the standard Street Triple barring a few changes. The twin-pod headlamp unit has been retained but it gets new bodywork and flyscreen with integrated air intake. The front cowl wraps around a 5-inch adjustable TFT instrument panel, which comes with a lap timer. The new switchgear incorporates a 5-way joystick. It also gets a redesigned twin-seat setup, rear heel guards and forged pillion footrest hangers. The bike comes in new shades of Matte Silver Ice and Phantom Black (Metallic).

The Street Triple RS gets a new frame and a double-sided swingarm. Unlike the under-seat exhaust of the Speed Triple, it has a short, underbody, free-flow exhaust.

The Street Triple RS is powered by a 765cc, liquid-cooled, in-line 3-cylinder engine which produces 121 BHP @ 11,700 rpm and 77 Nm of torque @ 10,800 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slip and assist clutch. 

The frame of the bike is supported by adjustable 41-mm upside-down forks with 115 mm of travel and an Ohlins STX40 adjustable rear monoshock offering 131 mm of wheel travel. Brakes come in the form of twin 310-mm floating discs with 4-piston monobloc calipers from Brembo and a 220-mm fixed disc with a single-piston Brembo caliper in the front and rear respectively. The bike rides on 17-inch cast wheels shod with 120/70 ZR17 and 180/55 ZR17 Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres in the front and rear respectively.

The Street Triple RS comes with features like ride-by-wire, 5 riding modes - Rain, Road, Sport, Track and Rider, switchable ABS and traction control, LED position headlights with DRLs, self-cancelling indicators, a quick shifter that allows clutch less upshifts, etc.
