- Moto2 Edition limited to 1,000 units globally
- Both feature Öhlins suspension and clip-on handlebars
Triumph Street Triple 765 RX and Moto 2 details
Get higher spec components and more focused ergonomics
Firstly, both models are based on the Street Triple RS platform, meaning they use the same 765cc liquid-cooled inline-triple, producing 130hp at 12,000rpm and 80Nm of torque at 9,500rpm. Both bikes feature a bi-directional quickshifter as standard and are shod with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tyres.
Both bikes also feature a fully adjustable 41mm Öhlins NIX30 USD fork and retain the Öhlins STX40 monoshock at the rear. Triumph has also added a clip-on handlebar to create a more aggressive riding position compared to the standard handlebars. Braking hardware consists of twin 310mm floating discs gripped by Brembo Stylema four-piston monobloc calipers at the front and a 220mm rear disc.
The Street Triple 765 RX is finished in a silver base colour complemented by a red subframe and pinstriped wheels. It also gets an RX logo on the silencer and an RX-branded seat. The Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition, which Triumph calls the most exclusive Street Triple ever built, takes things further with extensive carbon-fibre components, including the side panels, belly pan, front mudguard and silencer end cap.
Triumph hasn’t confirmed whether any units will be earmarked for India, but given that the limited-run Speed Triple 1200 RX did make it here earlier this year, there’s a good chance a few examples of this Street Triple RX could arrive as well.
