2017 Triumph Speed Triple R

2017 Triumph Speed Triple R Matte Graphite

Fun, simplicity and usability are the core principles of the Triumph Street Triple. From the punchy performance of the award-winning and widely acclaimed 675cc inline three-cylinder engine to the sublime agility of a lightweight, Daytona sportsbike chassis, the Street Triple is built from the ground up with a passion based on the sheer pleasure of riding.

For a more dynamic and sporting ride, the Street Triple R and RX adds high performance fully adjustable KYB suspension, radial Nissin brakes, styling enhancements and an extra level of agility and steering response.

Brakes aren’t just about outright power; control is vital too. The Triumph Street Triple’s four-piston Nissin calipers grip 310mm discs on lightweight, cast aluminium italic wheels, and are engineered to work in harmony with suspension and the overall motorcycle chassis balance. The sportier Street Triple R and RX use radially mounted four-piston Nissin callipers to integrate with enhanced suspension and chassis geometry.

With heritage from the Triumph Daytona 675 sports bike and echoing the ground-breaking 1995 T595 Daytona superbike, the Street Triple’s twin spar aluminium frame uses cutting-edge design to route incoming air through the headstock for maximum efficiency, as well as providing the perfect blend of rigidity and feel. The Street Triple R and RX feature a steeper head angle for extra steering response on sporty track and road riding. The Street Triple, Street Triple R and Street Triple RX feature an aluminium subframe, colour coded red on the Street Triple R and RX.

Key to the Triumph Street Triple’s outstanding ride is its suspension. High quality upside down KYB 41mm forks and KYB rear shock are factory pre-set to optimum road settings for peace of mind. The Street Triple R and RX come with a full suite of adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping from upside down KYB 41mm forks and KYB rear shock, colour-coded to match the motorcycle’s styling enhancements.

The Street Triple wears its stripped-back, fun-loving heart on its sleeve, from instantly recognisable twin headlights, across slash-style radiator cowls highlighting the three-cylinder engine, to its slender seat unit. The Street Triple R shows its sportier side with red radiator cowls, subframe and pin-striped wheels, showcasing Triumph’s obsession for quality and attention to detail.
