2020 Triumph Street Triple RS

Triumph’s premium sporty naked bike, the Triumph Street Triple RS, has been updated for 2020, highlighted by an perkier in-line triple developed by the team behind its successful Moto2 collaboration.

Announced in conjunction with an updated learner-approved Street Triple 660, the Triumph Street Triple RS – which will go on sale in Australia in December 2019 – now produces 79Nm of torque compared to 77Nm for the superseded model, with the peak also arriving about 1450rpm earlier – adding even more flexibility into the occasion.

Meanwhile, power remains at 123hp with a slightly higher rpm ceiling (11,750rpm).

Triumph says both power and torque are nine per cent higher in the mid-range – so increasing the sweet spot for the majority of road riders.

• A freer-flowing silencer finished off with a carbon fibre end cap;
• Twin LED headlights (with daytime running lights);
