2023 Triumph Street Triple range gets Moto2-inspired overhaul

The Triumph Street Triple 765 range has been overhauled for 2023, with the British firm claiming the line-up has more power, more technology, and better handling than ever before.

With engine upgrades derived from Triumph’s Moto2 platform, the new Street Triple range places a strong emphasis on performance and sophistication.

There are three bikes in the 2023 range, with the Triumph Street Triple R acting as a base model, and the Street Triple RS and all-new limited-edition Street Triple Moto2 Edition offering higher performance and spec.

Headlining the updates is a “significantly upgraded” 765cc three-cylinder engine, with the R model clocking 118hp (86.8kW) and the RS and Moto2 models punching out a “category leading” 128hp (94.1kW). All three bikes feature an increased torque figure of 80Nm.

According to Triumph, the updated engine has “improved responsiveness and acceleration” with revised gearing and final drive. It is complimented by a new “freer-flowing” exhaust system. The three models are also fitted with an up-and-down quickshifter.

The new Street Triple range also benefits from new optimised cornering ABS and switchable optimised cornering traction control, while the riding modes have been upgraded with “more dynamic throttle maps”.

Living up to their high-spec nature, the RS and Moto2 models also add a 5-inch TFT display and all-LED lighting and daytime running lights. The R model features multifunction instruments with a much smaller TFT display.

Also new for 2023 are “enhanced ergonomics” with wider handlebars, and revised geometry on the RS and Moto2 models. The RS and Moto2 bikes also feature Brembo Stylema brakes, while all three bikes have high-spec, fully adjustable suspension. There is also a gullwing swingarm that “enhances high-speed stability and precise chassis behaviour”.

As the top-of-the-range model, the limited-edition Moto2 model is equipped with track-ready and performance-tuned fully adjustable Öhlins suspension and new clip-on handlebars. It also features official Moto2 branding and sporty carbon-fibre bodywork. The Moto2 Edition will be limited to just 765 units worldwide.

While local pricing is yet to be confirmed, the new 2023 Triumph Street Triple range is expected to arrive in Australian showrooms in the first quarter of next year.

There is currently no mention of the LAMS-friendly Street Triple S model.
