The Street Triple offers 675cc of pure, naked aggression, combining the streetfighter styling of its older brother, the Speed Triple, with the 675cc engine, chassis and performance of the award-winning Daytona 675.
Packing a powerful punch, 108PS to be exact, and 69Nm of effortless torque, the Street Triple is set to see off any naked middleweight competitor with ease, and quite a few of the heavyweights too. The proven 675 engine delivers strong low and midrange performance, from tickover to the redline, while the distinctive three cylinder feel, and unmistakable sound, offer an electrifying and emotive ride.

Approved options are the Pirelli SuperCorsa Pro and the Bridgestone BT014 G. Lean and agile, the Street Triple is equipped with Kayaba suspension front and rear, with rear preload adjustment, giving class leading handling.
The low dual seat and new footrests and handlebars provide a comfortable riding position for rider and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter styling of the bike. The headlights echo the distinctive units used on the Speed Triple, while the comprehensive instrument console shares the same functionality as that on the Daytona 675 but is restyled to fit neatly within the lines of the Street Triple.
Triumph’s Commercial Director, Tue Mantoni, commented, ‘The Street Triple is one of the most important models we’ve ever brought to market, giving Triumph a strong presence in this important segment and offering a new entry point to Triumph’s range of sports bikes. It’s a great bike for both new and experienced riders, with distinctive style and class leading performance in an affordable package. Reaction from customers to the Street Triple has been fantastic and ...
