Triumph Motorcycles has announced the launch of 2020 Street Triple R, the mid-spec variant of the Street Triple RS in India. It features all-new bodywork, including fly screen, air intake, side panels, and rear unit for a sportier and more distinctive look.
The Street Triple R delivers peak power of 118PS at 12,000rpm and exhilarating peak torque of 79Nm @ 9350rpm.
Just like the top-spec RS model, the Street Triple R has a smooth gearbox with short first and second gear ratios, delivering exceptional acceleration performance and slick gear changes. It also features a slip and assist clutch, which reduces clutch lever effort and improves rider comfort and control.
In terms of technology, the Street Triple R now has the new Triumph Shift Assist up and down quick shifter fitted as standard. The Triumph Shift Assist enables smooth, comfortable, and quick gear changes without the use of the clutch, whilst maintaining the accelerator position.
To personalize the new Street Triple R, Triumph Motorcycles is offering a range of over 60 genuine accessories, including contemporary new scrolling LED indicators, a new flyscreen visor, and new machined mirrors and reservoirs. Plus there’s a new range of stylish water-resistant luggage with quick-release mounting, including a tank bag and tail pack. There’s also an Arrow silencer and adjustable brake and clutch levers, making the Street Triple R ready for even the most focused road riding.
There are also three riding modes for maximum control in all conditions – Road, Rain, and Sport. These adjust throttle response and traction control settings and are easily selectable while riding via the Street Triple R’s LCD instruments. Rain mode restricts peak power to 100PS for better feel and a smoother ride. Completing the technical specification, the Street Triple R features ride-by-wire, ABS, and traction control.
Speaking on the occasion, Shoeb Farooq, Business Head - Triumph Motorcycles India said: “The premium middle-weight segment is growing in India and is becoming more competitive. With the introduction of the R we strengthen our position in this category. The R is the perfect proposition for someone who wants an agile, middle weight street naked with racing DNA. It packs all the punch of the RS, offering the best of both worlds given its lineage with the Triumph Moto2 engines”.
