In the midst of much expectation, Triumph authoritatively uncovered three new Street Triple models that are the 2017 Street Triple R, Street Triple S, and Street Triple RS in January. Power source for every one of them are the recently created 765 cc triple-chamber engine tuned to deliver three distinct states of power – 113 hp in the S, 118 hp in the R and 123 hp in the RS to be exact.
While the Street Triple S makes 53 pd ft of torque, both the R and RS versions build up a somewhat more 56 pound-feet. Contrasted with the active model, the power and torque figures are extensively increased. Rather than utilizing the at first expected Tiger 800’s motor, Triumph decided on another unit as the broke/stroke of 78 mm x 53.4 mm is part less little than the Tiger’s.
The crankshaft, pistons and swingarm are all new as Triumph included over 80 new parts for greater agility that decreased the weight by two kilograms compared to the existing Street Triple R. Electronic aids like traction control, ride-by-wire and different riding modes are provided for all the three models.
Additionally, the R and RS will come featuring slipper clutch and a full colour TFT dashboard with five-ways to toggle through the electronic package. The RS also gets a quickshifter and lap timer besides cosmetic changes like new radiator cowls, air inlets, fly screen and other body panels.
The first and second gear ratios have been said to be shortened for aggressive acceleration. The standard ABS system can be turned off or adjusted in R and RS models and they also gain Daytime Running Lights. The S and R are shod on Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tyres while the RS’ rims are wrapped around by the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP rubber.
The seat height of S stands at 31.89 inches and for the R and RS it’s 32.48 inches abreast. The range-topping RS is claimed to be track focussed and it composes of a preload adjustable and rebound damping Showa 41 mm big piston fork up front and an Ohlins-sourced monoshock rear.
As for the brakes, the British manufacturer offers Brembo M50 four-piston, radially-mounted monobloc calipers with dual 310 mm discs up front and a brembo single piston caliper with a 220 mm disc at the back. The five riding modes to choose from are Rain, Road, Sport, Track and Customised. Besides, the RS will be sold in Matte Silver Ice and Phantom Black hues.
The 2017 Street Triple R is now devoid of Track mode and gets Brembo M4.32 calipers along with a downgraded 41 mm USD fully-adjustable front fork and Showa piggyback monoshock reservoir. It will be made available in three colour schemes namely Jet Black, Matte Aluminum Silver, and Crystal White.
The S model is claimed to be for daily use with only two riding modes being Rain and Road. It also has the front brake downgraded to a two-piston sliding caliper unit and comes in Diablo Red and Phantom Black paint jobs. As all three models are scheduled to arrive in international markets separately from March to May, Triumph is reported to introduce the new Street Triples at around June-July period in India. With local assembly, the entry S could be priced at Rs. 9.5 lakh while the RS variant may go up to Rs. 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
