TRIUMPH Street Triple RS (2020-2022) Specs, Performance & Photos

Since the first launch of the Street Triple motorcycle in 2007, this particular Triumph went through a lot of changes in terms of performance, becoming the lightest motorcycle in its class in 2017.

The Triple Street RS was born in 2020 and came with a considerable update in performance. The 765cc liquid-cooled, 12-valve, inline three-cylinder engine was now more potent than ever, offering 121 hp (90 kW) at 11,750 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) at 9,350 rpm. The engine was updated with a new exhaust cam, crankshaft, clutch, and balancer, while also saving mass and lowering inertia. The RS weighs 166 kg (366 lb), which gives it a good power-to-weight ratio.

The Street Triple RS has new LED headlights and a sharper style, exposing an aggressive new look. In the sports racing business, weight is very important, so the RS has the lightest wheels in its class. The suspension on the new RS is fully adjustable, with a 115 mm travel on the front and 131 mm on the back. For the RS to stop fast, it borrowed the high specification front and rear calipers from Brembo. Diablo Supercosa SP v3 tires from Pirelli are responsible for the grip and stability that a racetrack motorcycle needs.

In 2022 the Triumph Street Triple RS has a starting price of $13,245.
