Triumph Motorcycles has launched its latest 2020 offering, the Triumph Street Triple R, in India. The new naked middleweight motorcycle has been priced at Rs 8.44 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The new Street Triple R has been positioned just below its bigger iteration, the Street Triple RS, that carries a price tag of 11.33 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) in India.

Bookings for the Street Triple R have started and this bike replaces the Street Triple S in the country which was the base model in the lineup.

In this price segment, the Street Triple R competes with the Kawasaki Z900 and the KTM 790 Duke.

The new Street Triple R uses a 765cc in-line three-cylinder engine, the same as the RS, but has been tuned a bit lower in terms of performance. When it comes to power output, the Street Triple R makes 116 bhp at 12,000 rpm with a peak torque output at 79 Nm at 9,350 rpm.

The Street Triple R misses the colour TFT console.

In term of features, it comes with a part-digital-part-analogue console and sadly misses out on a TFT console like what we have seen on the RS. The company is offering the R variant in new colours and graphics.

It uses the same in-line three cylinder engine as the RS.

Braking responsibilities are taken care of by Brembo M4.32 four-piston Monobloc callipers along with 310 mm disc both at the front and rear. You get both ABS and traction control with the new R.

The Street Triple R is 2 kgs heavier than the RS.

Kerb weight of the Street Triple R stands at 168 kilograms which is 2 kg heavier than the RS.

Both the RS and the new R variant look similar in terms of the overall design. However, you can distinguish them by the graphics and the instrument console.

Bookings for the Street Triple R are now open.

The new R variant also gets a ride-by-wire bundled with three riding modes: rain, road and sport. It also gets a bi-directional quickshifter system and suspension is taken care of by Showa shock absorbers which are adjustable.
