The most powerful and poised Street Triple 765 line-up ever, with a major update to the Street Triple R, making this the new definitive streetfighter, a new Street Triple RS which sets a whole new benchmark for performance naked bikes, and an exclusive limited-run Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition – delivering the highest specification and most focused Street Triple ever, and the closest you can get to a Moto2 race bike for the road.
--
Triumph has unveiled updated versions of its highly successful Street Triple 765 R and RS nakeds, plus a track-ready limited-edition special to mark their role as engine supplier to Moto2.
The aptly named, startlingly liveried Moto2 Limited features Öhlins suspension front and rear, along with razor-sharp track-focused steering geometry and a racy new riding position. Only 1,530 will be produced, and each bike will have its unique build number engraved into a machined-from-billet top yoke.
The RS and R, meanwhile, benefit from significant electronic and engine upgrades and receive a host of chassis tweaks and sleek new bodywork.
Street Triple 765 RS
Widely regarded as the hottest, highest spec sport middleweight, the RS gets more power and torque, faster steering, and somewhat overdue lean-sensitive rider aids.
Triumph is understandably keen to emphasize the close connection between its Moto2 powerplant and the inline-triple used by its 765 roadsters, and has introduced Moto2-derived developments to make its point. A new combustion chamber, new pistons, improved inlet efficiency, and a 4.7 percent higher compression ratio help hike peak power by 7 hp to a claimed “category leading” 128.2 hp at 12,000 rpm.
With midrange drive a vital component of the Street Triple 765 experience, a redrawn torque curve sits even flatter and higher than the 2019 bike’s, reaching a fractionally higher peak of 59 lb.-ft. at 9,500 rpm. Shorter gear ratios and a revised final drive promise even sharper acceleration and meatier roll-on, while a freer-flowing exhaust system and inlet trumpets should transform the intake howl from raucous to spine-tingling.
Chassis-wise, Triumph says the 2023 RS is “even more precise and more capable.” While it will still run on a 41mm Showa Big Piston Fork up front along with an Öhlins STX 40 shock at the rear, the geometry has completely changed.
In response to criticism that the chassis sits slightly too flat for track use, the rear ride height has been raised for a quicker rate of turn. Rake is reduced from 23.9 degrees to 23.2 degrees, trail from 3.9 inches to 3.8 inches, and the wheelbase is shortened by 6mm to 1,399mm (55.1 inches). Making things even more lively, the bars are half an inch wider to give even more turning leverage. High-end Brembo Stylema front brake calipers replace Brembo M50s to complete a seriously focused handling package.
Triumph has also responded to criticism that the older RS’ ABS intervention is too conservative for track use, reconfiguring the Track riding mode with minimal “safety net” ABS. With a six-axis IMU onboard for 2023, the other road-based riding modes feature “cornering-optimized” (lean-sensitive) ABS and traction control, with front and rear brakes linking to minimize stopping distances under hard braking. The RS retains its up-and-down Shift Assist quickshifter.
The new bodywork is rather obvious. Sleeker, pleasingly minimalist, and with an even tinier nose cone on this most naked of nakeds, the Street Triple 765 is moving away from its traditional Brit streetfighter look, although the signature all-LED twin headlights remain.
Jacking up the rear increases seat height by 0.4 inch to 32.9 inches, but Triumph will offer a 1.1-inch-lower seat option, along with some 50-plus accessories including cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. Those with a taste for longer rides into the country will be disappointed that the fuel tank’s capacity has dropped 0.6 of a gallon to just 4 gallons. Comparable weight figures are not yet available, but we’re not that fearful that the RS has lost its phenomenal power-to-weight ratio.
Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition
Limited to a production run of just 1,530 machines, or 765 bikes in each of its two striking colorways, the Moto2 Edition shares all the engine and electronic updates of the RS. But if the RS is aimed at sporty road riders who like to take in a few trackdays each summer, the Moto2 Edition is fully focused on a lap time.
