Triumph announced the special-edition version of their 2016 model year Street Triple RX back in December in the UK, at the Motorcycle Live show. The wait for UK-based riders is over, as the Triumph Street Triple RX Black is now available.
This can only mean that Triumph enthusiasts all over the world waiting for their Black edition middleweight naked roadster will be able to get this bike pretty soon.
The RX is the elite Street Triple in Triumph's range, and comes with certain differences from the base model. The RX boasts strong stylistic influences from the company's supersport weapon, the Daytona 675R.
The graphics of the Triumph Street Triple RX Black have, of course, been revised, and the attire of the machine is now darker and meaner. On the tech side, nothing has changed from the basic RX model.
The RX Black packs a 675cc displacement and its three-cylinder engine produces 106 PS at 11,850 rpm and 68 Nm (50.1 lb-ft) 9,750 rpm, mated to a manual 6-speed transmission. Kayaba supplies the suspensions, and the ABS-equipped braking system uses Nissin front calipers and a Brembo one in the back.
LCD instrumentation is stock and it includes a digital speedometer, fuel gauge, trip computer, analog tachometer, lap timer, gear position indicator, programmable gear change lights, clock, TPMS ready and switchable ABS.
With a dry weight of 168 kg (371 lbs) and a 17.4-liter (4.6 US gal) tank, the Triumph Street Triple RX Black is a fairly light machine that's a sure ticket for solid fun, both on the street and on the track.
UK customers can have it for £8,599, which is around €11,720 or $12,590, but prices may vary.

Naked vibe with supersport design cues
