2017 Triumph Street Triple 765 India launch on June 12

Triumph has announced that the 2017 Street Triple 765 will be launched in India on June 12, 2017. Bookings of the updated model have already commenced across Triumph dealerships in the country.

The 2017 Street Triple was internationally unveiled earlier this year. It comes in three variants - S, R and RS. However, the company is expected to launch the S variant initially, while the RS trim might be introduced later this year. The new Street Triple is built on the existing chassis of the earlier model, though it gets new mounting points and a revised swingarm. The characteristic bug-eyed twin headlamps come with full-LED illumination, while the bodywork gets some sharper lines.

Powering the 2017 Street Triple is a larger 765 cc, inline 3-cylinder engine that develops 111 BHP @ 11,250 rpm & 73 Nm of torque @ 9,100 rpm in the S variant. Meanwhile, the RS variant gets the same engine that has been tuned to produce 121 BHP @ 11,750 rpm & 77 Nm of torque @ 10,800 rpm. A 6-speed gearbox is the only transmission option on offer with both S and RS variants, with the latter also getting a slip and assist slipper clutch and a quickshifter.
