Triumph India has opened the pre-bookings for the 2023 Triumph Street Triple ahead of its launch in March 2023. Prospective customers can reserve the new Street Triple by paying a booking amount of ₹50,000 at their nearest Triumph dealership. The company says that deliveries of the 2023 Triumph Street Triple will begin in April 2023.
Triumph has made cosmetic and mechanical changes to the Street Triple range. India will only get the Street Triple R and RS models – the limited run Moto 2 edition, won’t be available here.
Starting with the design, Triumph has made a few changes to make the bike look sharper and more aggressive. It gets a new fly screen above the distinctive bug-eye headlight, the fuel tank has shrunk from the previous bike’s 17 to 15 litres; The fuel tank extension has also been reprofiled. The tail section has subtle curves, and in the case of the RS, it’s slightly higher than the R’s.
Moving on to engines, the 765cc, inline-triple in the R makes 120hp, while the same engine in the RS makes 130hp. Peak torque has gone up to 80Nm and remains the same across all variants.
Triumph has revised the gearing, as well as the final drive, to improve responsiveness and acceleration. A new, freer-flowing exhaust is said to provide the characteristic inline-triple sound that the Street Triple is famous for. Also, an up-down quickshifter is standard across all variants.
When it comes to electronics, cornering ABS and traction control system are now standard across the range and can be tailored to the rider’s preference. As for the ride modes, these have also been optimised, with the R variant now getting four settings – Road, Rain, Sport and Rider-configurable. The RS has an additional track mode. The company says that it has added more dynamic throttle maps across Road, Sport and Track modes for greater responsiveness.
All settings for the electronics can be accessed via the 5.0-inch TFT display on the RS, while the base R variant makes do with a more basic Trident-esque display.
Talking about suspension components, the R gets 41mm Showa USD fork and monoshock, while the RS gets Showa 41mm USD Big Piston fork and Ohlins monoshock. Similarly, when it comes to brakes, the RS gets Brembo Stylemas while the R gets lower-spec Brembo M4.32 callipers.
