2023 Triumph Street Triple: What Are The Changes?
Triumph has made a slew of cosmetic and mechanical changes to the Street Triple range. Starting with the design, Triumph has made a few changes to make the bike appear sharper and more aggressive. It now gets a new fly screen above its characteristic bug-eyed headlight. The fuel tank has shrunk to 15 litres from the previous bike’s 17, meanwhile, we see fuel tank extensions have been reprofiled as well. There are some subtle tweaks to the tail section as well.
Moving on to the mechanicals, the motorcycle gets a 765cc engine. This inline triple in the R makes 120 HP. Meanwhile, the same engine in the RS makes 130 HP. Peak torque has risen to 80 Nm and remains the same across all variants. Triumph has also revised the gearing ratio, as well as the final drive. This adds to improve responsiveness and acceleration. Also, all variants now get an up-down quick-shifter as standard.
When it comes to features, cornering ABS and traction control systems are now standard across the range. As for the Ride modes, these too have been optimised, with the R variant now featuring four options. These are namely, Road, Rain, Sport and Rider-configurable. The RS now also has an additional Track mode. The company says that it has added more dynamic throttle maps in Road, Sport and Track modes for more responsiveness.
Moving to the suspension components, the R benefits from a 41mm Showa USD fork and monoshock. Meanwhile, the RS gets a Showa 41mm USD Big Piston fork and an Ohlins monoshock. Similarly, when it comes to the brakes, the RS equips the Brembo Stylemas, while the R makes do with the lower-spec Brembo M4.32 callipers.
