Cool-Motorcycles reviews Triumph Street Triple R

Like the Street Triple, but harder.
It’s a tough looking, higher spec version of the Street Triple – not an easy task when the original is so impressive.  A real challenge, but we’ve taken this bike to a new level of style and performance.  Introducing the Street Triple R.

Fitted with fully adjustable front and rear suspension, Nissin 4-piston radial front calipers and radial master cylinder, parts normally found in the supersports category.

The upside down forks are anodised black to compliment an aggressive new Matt Graphite paint scheme with distinctive orange “R” graphics and two-tone black and grey stitched seat.  With Magura tapered aluminium handlebars, it’s not a bike for those who do subtle, more for those who take things to the max.

FEATURES

Seat

Two-tone black and graphite saddle perfectly matches the Street Triple R’s unique matte color schemes.

Engine

Derived from the class leading Daytona 675, the Street Triple R’s 675cc water-cooled three-cylinder 12-valve engine delivers strong low and midrange performance, from tick over to redline and produces more than 44ft.lbf of torque from 3500rpm right through to 12300rpm. The close-ratio six-speed gearbox maximises the effectiveness of the engine’s impressive power and torque, always giving you the perfect gear.

Chassis

Derived from the Daytona 675, the chassis gives supreme agility and feedback. Handling will give you confidence whether you’re new to bikes or pushing hard on the track.

Suspension

Fully-adjustable 41mm upside down forks and a top-spec rear monoshock unit with piggy back reservoir deliver a taut yet refined riding experience.

Handlebars

Tapered aluminium handlebars from Magura echo the legendary Speed Triple and put the Street Triple R rider in the perfect position to attack the twisty stuff or cut through the urban jungle.

Brakes

Radially-mounted four piston calipers grab the twin 308mm brake discs and ensure the Street Triple R stops as well as it goes.  A radial master cylinder gives the rider precise control.
