British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph unveiled the new 2017 Street Triple range. For the year 2017, the motorcycle will be available in three variants: S, R and RS. This model range is expected to be introduced in India later this year.
The updated Street Triple series features a revised engine with new camshafts, Nikasil plated aluminium barrels and the crankshaft. The British automaker claims that only 10% of the engine components have been carried over from the previous generation model.

Powering the bike is the new 765cc engine which is claimed to shed about 1.5 kg over the outgoing version. This engine is available in three states of tune: 111 BHP with 71 Nm of torque, 116BHP with 75 Nm of torque, and 121 BHP with 75 Nm of torque for the Street Triple S, Street Triple R and the Street Triple RS trims respectively. This engine comes mated to a six speed transmission that sends power to the rear wheel.
Based on the same chassis as the outgoing Street Triple, the 2017 model receives a revised swing arm and new mounting points. A few features available across the model range include a quickshifter, a slipper clutch, full LED headlamp, fully digital five inch colour TFT display (controlled through a five way joystick), ride-by-wire, switchable traction control and switchable ABS.
