- Triumph Motorcycles launches a Street Triple 765 R A2 variant
- Revised 765cc triple engine with 70kw power output and accessory restrictor kit
- Available in dealerships from September 2024
ATLANTA, GA – July 19, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Triumph Motorcycles is launching a new variant of its agile Street Triple 765 R with a revised power output, specifically for new and younger riders with an A2 licence.
Identical in every other way to the current Street Triple 765 R, with its Moto2TM derived performance and handling, this A2 compliant variant has a revised 765cc triple engine with a lower 70 kW power output, and an accessory restrictor kit can be fitted to reduce the power output to 35 kW, meeting A2 licence requirements. Once the rider has gained their full ‘A’ licence, the restrictor kit can be easily removed by a Triumph dealer to restore the bike to its unrestricted 70kW power.
“There are many new riders who cannot wait to jump on a naked sports bike with an aggressive attitude and high specification components. And now they don’t need to wait,” said Triumph’s Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. “This Street Triple 765 R variant is a welcome addition to our A2 compliant range, bringing performance, style and precise handling, as well as our trademark triple soundtrack, to A2 licence holders across UK & Europe.”
The current Street Triple 765 R first arrived in dealerships in 2023, featuring engine upgrades derived directly from the Moto2TM race engine programme, which resulted in a significant step up in performance, with increased torque and improved responsiveness. With its aggressive styling, enhanced ergonomics and highest ever specification, this latest generation Street Triple 765 is performing well on the international stage.
ENHANCED ERGONOMICS
With its focused and commanding riding position, Moto2TM derived 765cc engine, gullwing swingarm and agile chassis, the Street Triple 765 R is an exciting ride for younger and newer riders, delivering the thrill of the performance naked sports set-up with a precise, predictable, confidence-inspiring ride. An accessory low seat is also available to offer shorter riders additional confidence, reducing the height by 28mm, from 826mm to 798mm.
HIGH SPECIFICATION
High-quality components include Brembo M4.32 4-piston radial monobloc calipers at the front and a Brembo single piston sliding caliper at the rear, as well as Showa 41mm upside down forks and a Showa piggyback reservoir monoshock RSU. Versatile Continental ContiRoad tyres, also offer superb levels of grip in both wet and dry road conditions, making the Street Triple 765 R the ideal choice for all-season commuting as well as fast road riding.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
For newer or younger riders, there’s plenty of advanced technology to help make the most of the Street Triple’s capability. With optimised cornering ABS included as standard, the Street Triple 765 R delivers accurate braking performance at any lean angle, plus the front-wheel lift control enhances control while feeling barely noticeable to the rider. Riders can fine-tune the bike’s performance with four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Rider-configurable, easily managed via the easy-to-read multi-functional instrument set-up and TFT display.
Fitted as standard, the up and down quickshifter is the ideal aid for track and fast road riding. Upshifts can be made without closing the throttle for a smooth, fast shift, while downshifts can be made without the use of the clutch and without the need to blip the throttle to match the gear and engine speeds, facilitating smooth and controlled deceleration into corners. In addition, the slip and assist clutch ensures a light and consistent lever feel for enhanced comfort, and control on the road, particularly useful during an urban commute.
SHARP, FOCUSED STYLE
The 15-litre fuel tank has integrated side panels with an angular design that aligns beautifully with the sharper radiator cowls, further complemented by a headlight finisher that also incorporates the air intake. The rear end of the new Street Triple is no less exceptional, with a sporty, upswept design to give a focused, nose-down attitude. The silencer adds to the Street Triple’s aggressive stance as well as accentuating the hair-raising Triumph triple soundtrack.
The Street Triple 765 R A2 variant will be available in two new colour schemes; a stylish Matt Baja Orange or a striking Pure White option. The first premium paint option features a Matt Baja Orange tank cover and matching headlight finisher and side panels, with a Matt Black front mudguard and radiator side panel. The Pure White scheme features Baja Orange accents on the Pure White tank cover and bodywork, plus a Pure White front mudguard and headlight finisher, complemented by a Storm Grey radiator side panel.
50+ ACCESSORIES
More than 50 Genuine Triumph Accessories are available, allowing owners to tailor their Street Triple to their needs, from fly screens to heated grips, pillion grab handles to luggage, there’s an accessory for every type of Street Triple rider.
ON THE ROAD
The new Street Triple 765 A2 variant will be available from £10,095 OTR, plus restrictor kit at £152.00 including VAT. Customers can configure their own or find out more at triumphmotorcycles.co.uk. Bikes will be arriving in dealerships from September 2024.
