TRIUMPH Street Triple (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Street Triple, a naked machine that benefited from several design changes in 2011 for the 2012 model year. In other departments, the bike remained unchanged.

The 2012 motorcycle replaced the twin round headlights with angular-shaped ones and featured other changes like redesigned side casings, a brushed aluminum finish around the exhaust, black-finished rear sets, and revised stickers.

In the visual department, the 2012 motorcycle packed standard features, including a one-piece dual seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a side stand, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum alloy wheels.

The bike's braking system comprised two 308 mm floating discs coupled to dual-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.

The bike was built around an aluminum beam twin-spar frame with a dual-sided aluminum swingarm. On the front, the bike packed a 41 mm upside-down Kayaba fork with 120 mm wheel travel and an adjustable Kayaba shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

As for the power figures, the 2012 Triumph Street Triple had its soul brought to life by a 675cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 106 hp at 11,700 rpm and 92 Nm (68 lb-ft) torque at 9,200 rpm.
