      Tearing Up the Rulebook All Over Again

With its thrilling triple engine, aggressive looks and intuitive handling it set the benchmark, redefined the roadster market and went on to become a favorite for passionate Street Triple fans worldwide.

      Today with the launch of the all-new 2017 Street Triple family Triumph have torn up the rule book up all over again – with the most explosive, exhilarating, agile and intuitive performance street motorcycles the brand has ever made.

      With three distinct all new options, a race bred new 765cc engine with 3 levels of power and torque, new state of the art technology, the highest ever level of suspension, brakes and tires, aggressive new looks and class leading weight – the Street Triple family sets a whole new benchmark.

      Introducing the Street Triple S, Street Triple R and Street Triple RS, each with their own unique tailor made level of power, performance, technology and suspension. All backed up by Triumph’s highly regarded capability, confidence and agile control.

      To make the new Street Triple even more accessible the Street Triple R is also available in a dedicated lower ride height version (Street Triple R LRH), with its own unique suspension and seating set-up.

      To make the new Street Triple even more accessible the Street Triple R is also available in a dedicated lower ride height version of the ‘R’ (Street Triple R LRH) with its own unique suspension and seating set-up

      Street Triple S Built to deliver a thrilling, agile and addictive everyday ride. With its new street fighter looks, the highest level of finish ever, lighter than its predecessor with higher spec brakes, tires, suspension and all-new gullwing swingarm.

      Street Triple R Taking the performance, specification and finish to an even higher level, built to be the definitive street fighter with a specification and set up for focused road riding.

      Street Triple RS The most explosive and adrenaline charged Street Triple ever, built to be at home on the track, and a weapon on the road.

      More Power, Performance, Torque and a Richer Triple Soundtrack

      Developed from the celebrated race bred ‘Daytona’ engine, the new 765cc Street Triple engine delivers a major step up in power and torque. With more than 80 new parts including new crank, pistons and Nikasil plated aluminum barrels and an increased bore and stroke. The result is a significant advance in performance, particularly low-down and in the mid-range.

      Each of the new models come with their own unique engine set-up, ECU and tune, each tailored to deliver the character, power and performance best suited to the bike’s style of ride and rider.

      The ‘S’ tune provides up to 6.6% more peak power than the previous generation with 111HP @ 11,250rpm and delivers a 7.3% increase in peak torque at 53.8 lb.-ft. @ 9,100rpm.

      The ‘R’ tune, with its own model-specific crank shaft, increases peak power by up to 11.3% over the previous ‘R’ model, delivering 115HP @ 12,000rpm, and delivers a 13% increase in peak torque at 56.8 lb.-ft. @ 9,400rpm.

      The ‘RS’ tune delivers the highest level of performance ever for a Street Triple, with a power increase of up to 16% over the previous model, delivering 121HP @ 11,700rpm and a peak torque increase of 13%, providing 56.7 lb.-ft. @ 10,800rpm.

      There are riding modes on all models to help the rider better harness the increased power and torque in every riding condition. A richer sound track, from a lighter, free flowing exhaust and revised airbox delivers an intoxicating and more distinctive induction howl.

    • Stronger than ever acceleration and slicker gear changes are achieved through a combination of revised gearbox geometry and shorter 1st and 2nd gear ratios. In addition, on the R and RS models, a new slip and assist clutch set up delivers lighter clutch action and reduced lever effort for more control and riding comfort.

      Rider Focused Technology

      • The new Street Triple line up represents a major evolution in state of the art rider focussed technology for maximum control and safety.
      • Ride-by-wire
      • For a crisper, more precise and more accurate throttle response, with improved on/off throttle transition. Enabling different throttle maps, which combined with the ABS and traction control settings give up to 5 riding modes.
        • Riding modes
      • Linked to the ride-by-wire system all models have new riding modes, which adjust throttle response, ABS and traction control settings
      • -Street Triple S featuring 2 riding modes: Road and Rain
      • -Street Triple R featuring 4 riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Rider Programmable
      • -Street Triple RS featuring 5 modes: Road, Rain, Sport, Rider Programmable and Track
        • Full color adjustable TFT instruments
      • The Street Triple R and RS feature all-new, angle adjustable color 5” TFT instruments for riders to access the new on-board computer. There are three different screen display styles to choose from, pre-set to the riding modes and changeable easily on the move. To ensure that the screen is readable in all weather and light conditions, each of the three styles can be selected with ‘High’ or ’Auto’ contrast.
        • New on-board computer
      • For the ‘S’ model this delivers a speedometer, rev counter, riding mode symbol, gear position display, fuel gauge, odometer, trip meter and journey distance.
      • On the ‘R’ and ‘RS’ models this presents additional features including two trip displays, average and instantaneous fuel consumption, range to empty, riding mode selection, display style and contrast settings, service information, coolant temperature, warning symbol information and also for the ‘RS’ model only a lap timer.
        • New switch cubes with 5-way joystick
      • To navigate the new instruments on the Street Triple R and RS there are all-new switch cubes with an intuitive 5-way joystick control that have been ergonomically optimized to be easy to use.
      • The Street Triple S features the revised switch cubes set-up from the latest generation Speed Triple.

        • ABS
      • Switchable on the Street Triple R and RS through the ‘rider programmable’ riding mode, which can be adjusted to suit (with road and track ABS settings) or can be turned off completely if desired.
        • Switchable traction control
      • On the Street Triple S traction control settings can be managed via the instrument menu, by selecting ‘road’ or ‘rain’ riding modes, each with a dedicated level of traction control built in.
      • On the Street Triple R and RS traction control is managed through the ‘rider programmable’ riding mode, by selecting the desired traction control setting either ‘road’, ‘rain’, ‘track’, ‘sport’ or ‘off’.
        • Quickshifter
      • The new Street Triple RS is fitted with a quickshifter allowing for clutchless upshifts that are up to 2.5 times quicker than a skilled rider using a standard clutch upshift. This can be added as an accessory option on the Street Triple S and R.
        • Gear position indicator
      • The Street Triple R and RS feature a useful gear position indicator, accessible through the 5” full color TFT instruments.
  • Lighter, More Agile and Better Handling
  • Leaner and meaner than ever the new Street Triple models are lighter than the previous generation, holding their position as the lightest bikes in class. This weight reduction combined with the new higher power 765cc engine delivers an amazing power to weight ratio that is key to the game changing performance of the new ‘Streets’ delivering a truly explosive and agile ride.
  • An all-new gullwing rear swingarm has been specifically designed for the new Street Triple range, resulting in increased longitudinal torsional stiffness, combined with an engineered reduction in lateral stiffness. This maximizes stability at the higher speeds achieved by the new Street Triple, for greater rider confidence, with an optimized swingarm pivot position providing more natural resistance to compression of the rear suspension unit under hard acceleration. This brings a tighter corner exit capability and a more precise chassis behavior, which can be felt on both road and track.

  • The Street Triple S comes with Showa upside-down ø41mm separate function front forks with 110mm travel and a stepped preload-adjustable piggyback reservoir monoshock rear suspension unit.

  • And the Street Triple RS comes with the highest-specification Showa big piston ø41mm front forks, adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping. The rear suspension unit is a premium Öhlins STX40 piggyback reservoir monoshock.

  • High Specification Brake Set-Up
  • The Street Triple S model is fitted with Nissin 2-piston sliding calipers on the front and a Brembo single piston sliding caliper on the back.
  • The Street Triple R has Brembo M4.32 4-piston radial monobloc calipers that deliver greatly improved stopping power over the previous Street Triple R and a Brembo single piston sliding caliper on the back.
  • The Street Triple RS has range topping Brembo M50 4-piston radial monobloc calipers on the front delivering class leading stopping power, with ratio and span adjustable lever and a Brembo single piston sliding caliper on the back.

  • High Specification Performance Tires
  • The Street Triple S and R models are fitted with premium Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires which deliver sharp and precise handling as well as excellent stability and grip on the road.
  • The Street Triple RS comes with range topping Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires which deliver advanced sporting performance for road and the occasional track use.


  • More Attitude and Sharper Styling
  • The new line-up all feature a significant styling evolution to deliver more attitude and a sharper more athletic poise, inspired by the ‘nose-down’ focused attitude of the latest generation Speed Triples.
  • More contemporary and aggressive lines have been created with all new bodywork, fly screen, radiator, cowls and new integrated air intake. In addition, the seat has been redesigned and restyled to deliver a sharper, sportier separate twin seat set-up without sacrificing rider or passenger comfort.
