Street Triple
675cc of Pure, Naked Aggression
Through a potent combination of performance DNA extracted
from the Daytona 675 and aggressive streetfighter
styling drawn from the Speed Triple, Triumph have
created the most desirable naked middleweight motorcycle
in the market. As the Speed Triple’s younger
brother, the Street Triple is a rebel with plenty
of cause – lean, light, agile and dripping
with attitude.
Packing a powerful punch of 108PS peak power (106bhp)
delivered at 11,700rpm, the Street Triple sits at the
top of the naked middleweight category, and with 69Nm
(51ft.lbf) of torque arriving at 9,100rpm, the bike
is guaranteed to outperform all of its middleweight
competitors and quite a few of the heavyweights too.
The proven 675cc water-cooled three-cylinder 12-valve
engine delivers strong low and midrange performance,
from tickover to the redline. The close ratio six-speed
gearbox maximises the effectiveness of the engine’s
impressive power and torque, meaning you’ve always
got the perfect gear. One of the best things about
the bike’s performance is that you don’t
have to work hard to get it: the Street Triple produces
more than 60Nm (44ft.lbf) of torque from 3,500rpm right
through to 12,300rpm.
The Street Triple’s aluminium frame comes directly
from the Daytona and was specifically designed to take
advantage of the narrow three-cylinder engine design.
Rake is set at 24.3°, with 95.3mm (3.75in) trail.
The wheelbase is 1,395mm (54.9in), whilst dry weight
is 167kg (367lbs).
Braking power is at the top of its class thanks to
the Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads
(the same material as used on the Daytona 675). Lightweight
five-spoked wheels come straight from the Daytona 675;
the front measures in at 17 x 3.5in and the rear at
17 x 5.5in. Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier tyres are fitted
as standard (120/70 ZR 17 front and 180/55 ZR 17 rear),
and approved options are the Pirelli SuperCorsa Pro
and the Bridgestone BT014 G.
The Street Triple uses its elder brother’s headlights
and has a comprehensive instrument console that shares
the same functionality as the Daytona 675 but restyled
to fit neatly within the lines of the Street Triple.
The low dual seat and new footrests and handlebars
provide a comfortable riding position for both rider
and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter
styling of the bike.
The Triumph Street Triple is available in three colour
options - Jet Black, Fusion White and Roulette Green.
A full range of Triumph accessories are available
for the bike, including a neat, aerodynamic fly screen
for wind deflection, an easy-to-fit colour-matched
seat cowl for a sleek tail end finish and a sharp belly
pan, which protects the engine whilst complementing
the naked style. Triumph has collaborated again with
Arrow to develop the 3-into-1 Low Boy exhaust system.
Available for Closed Circuit Competition use only,
the system is manufactured from stainless steel with
a carbon fibre end cap and provides performance gains
throughout the torque curve culminating in a 6bhp gain
coupled with a weight saving of 7kg compared to the
standard silencers. Also available is a selection of
carbon fibre parts, luggage, gel seat, rear hugger,
pillion grab rail and a pair of EC homologated slip-on
Arrow silencers.
The Street Triple has masses of attitude and makes
the most sensible rider grin like an idiot. The class
leading performance and superb agility are matched
with a competitive retail price, making the Street
Triple a welcome addition to the Triumph streetfighter
family, and a new entry point to Triumph’s range
of triples.
