Street Triple RS

Triumph Motorcycles has announced a more powerful Street Triple R and RS for 2023, with the introduction of a Moto 2 Edition limited to just 765 units.

  • The 2023 Street Triple is more powerful than ever. 
  • The motorcycle features new engine internals, a higher combustion ratio and improved ergonomics. 

Benefiting from the engine that powers the Moto2 World Championship, the Street Triple R and RS feature more power and improved rideability and ergonomics.

What’s new for 2023?

The R now makes 2hp more than the previous generation, with the power output rated at 118hp. However, the RS now boasts 128hp thanks to the higher compression ratio and new engine internals.

That said, the engine now houses new pistons, new connecting rods and redesigned combustion chamber, all contributing to the higher peak power. 

In addition, the 2023 Triumph Street Triple range also features a new gearbox with a revised gear ratio. 

Spec-wise, the 2023 Street Triple comes with lots of goodies, with the R variant boasting Brembo M4 brake callipers and a fully-adjustable suspension courtesy of Showa. 

Meanwhile, the up-spec RS gets a Showa 41mm USD big piston forks and Ohlins piggyback rear shock. On the other hand, the Moto2 Edition gets Ohlins 43mm fully adjustable forks and rear shocks. 

All three models also received a new electronic package, including refined cornering ABS, traction control and 4+1 riding modes; Road, Rain, Sport, Rider and Track (only available on the RS/Moto2 Edition).

Pricing and availability

According to Triumph, the Street Triple range starts from GBP9,59 for the R, GBP11,295 for the RS and GBP13,795 for the Moto2 Edition. 

  • The 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS was launched today at the 2019 Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix.

  • It features many revisions and updates.

  • It is now lighter and more powerful.

The much-awaited 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS was launched today at the 2019 Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix.

The 2017 models was the most fun motorcycle we’ve ever tested and we wondered even back then how could Triumph possible make it even better. So kudos to the Hinckley based manufacturer in finding ways to make an already great bike greater.

Some of the lessons learned in Moto2 as exclusive engine suppliers were applied to the 2020 ST RS. As we’ve published before, the Triumph Moto2 engines were derived from the standard engine from the 2017 ST RS. From there it was developed only very lightly by Extern Pro.

The results were staggering. Records fell one by one and a Triumph-engined Moto2 bike hit more than 300 km/h at Mugello earlier this year. It was the first a Moto2 bike ever to hit the triple-ton. Then another three bikes went more than 300 km/h at Philip Island, Australia.

Championship organiser and promoter Dorna had wanted a series with closer racing and Triumph’s Moto2 engine delivered the show. The 2019 Moto2 championship is still open with two races to go.

Highlights of the 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS:
  • Revisions to the engine boost power by 9%, despite having 2 catalytic converters.
  • Power is up to 121 bhp and 77.3 Nm of torque, up from 116 bhp and 76 Nm.

  • Engine response tuned to provide fatter mid-range power and torque.
  • More responsive throttle.

  • Smoother powerband results from new exhaust cam.
  • High-precision machining of the crankshaft, clutch and counterbalancer.

  • Bi-directional quickshift for up and down shifts.
  • 41 mm fully-adjustable Showa forks and Öhlins rear mono shock retained.

  • Braking handled by the awesome Brembo monobloc calipers up front, with revised master cylinder.

  • New TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity for phone and multimedia functions.
  • TFT screen can also pair with and control GoPro action camera.

  • 5 riding modes are provided: Track, Sport, Road, Rain and rider customizable.
  • New bodywork (or lack of it) — everything unneeded was pared away.

  • New “eagle-eyed” LED headlamps with Daylight Running Lights (DRL).

  • New design rear seat.
  • The result of the revisions results in a bike that weights just 166 kg dry.
  • That’s the best power-to-weight ration in its category.

No price was given at the moment, as the bike will only be available from January 2020 onwards. But you can already view at Triumph Motorcycles Malaysia.

  • The 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS breaks cover.

  • Its engine receives a power boost.

  • It also receives updated looks and lost some weight.

The 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS breaks cover after Triumph’s teases over the last couple of months.

The new bike retains the Street Triple’s classic silhouette, but it’s apparent that Triumph pared it down to look even more purposeful than ever. The headlamps were updated to look fiercer. There are new radiator flanks, exposing more of the frame. Triumph’s scalpel pared away excess weight, ending up with a bike which weighs only 166 kg dry. The manufacturer claims that it’s the lightest bike in its category.

Over to the engine. While the 2020 bike was revealed in preparation for Euro 5 emission, the engine gained power, courtesy of the lessons learned in Moto2 racing. (Triumph is the exclusive engine supplier to the championship.)

The three-cylinder architecture remains the same and includes two catalytic convertors. Despite that, it receives a 9-percent power boost. It now produces 121 bhp and 77.3 Nm of torque, compared to the previous 116 bhp and 76 Nm of torque. That doesn’t appear to be a lot on paper, of course, but you can look forward to a punchier midrange combined with a more responsive throttle (the previous bike’s throttle was already super responsive and smooth!). The gains and smoother powerband are the courtesy of a new exhaust cam, besides the high precision machining of the crankshaft, clutch and balancer.

The previous RS’s chassis and suspension are already in the ballpark, hence carried over to the new bike. The front forks remain the 41mm upside-down Showa BFF, while the rear mono shock is the Ohlins STX40.

Braking duties are handled by a pair of Brembo M50 monobloc 4-piston callipers gripping a pair of 310mm discs up front and a Brembo single-piston calliper out back.

And as we speculated, there is a new TFT screen armed with Bluetooth connectivity. Through the MyTriumph app, the rider can receive navigation prompts, manage music and calls and control his GoPro action camera. The five riding modes i.e. Track, Sport, Road, Rain and rider customisable are also enhanced.

The previous Triumph Street Triple RS remains the most fun bike we’ve tested to this point, so we can’t wait to test this new one!

  • Triumph released a teaser video.

  • The new bike will be Euro 5 compliant and will feature new updates.

It’s confirmed: A new 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS is one the way.

As with the impending launch of new models, Triumph released a teaser video of the new Street Triple RS. Test mules had also been spotted a number of months earlier.

The video shows a heart-pounding run up to a corner while being accompanied by the triple’s distinctive and awesome soundtrack.

What we know is the new bike’s engine will be Euro 5 compliant but what we don’t know is what state of tune the engine will take on. As in our earlier report, the exhaust collector will house two catalytic converters.

There’s much speculation (hope, actually) that it’ll be fitted with some of the stuff from, or at least learned, from Triumph’s role as the sole engine supplier to the World Moto2 Championship. The current engine produces 121hp and 77.3Nm of torque. Will we see a hike to 135 horses? Please, please, please!

There will surely be updates in other areas, too.

The twin headlamps will take on a new look, there may be slight changes to the swingarm, and there’s a big chance that the instrument cluster will feature GoPro control a la the Scrambler 1200 XE.

The Street Triple RS remains this writer’s favourite all-time bike, so it’s interesting how the new bike will turn out on October 7th.
