Triumph Street Triple 765

Features: The duo come equipped with sleek LED headlight and DRLs. The headlight nacelle and the side panels have been revised too. The top-spec Moto2 and RS variants comes with a full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity which offers turn-by-turn navigation and phone/music control. It also features GoPro integration, five riding modes. The 'R' variant, on the other hand, gets four riding modes, along with optimised cornering ABS and traction control. The R variant’s console has also been updated from a semi-digital unit to a LCD-TFT combo cluster, just like the Triumph Trident 660. Lastly, the range-topping Moto2 Edition comes with lowered clip-on handlebars, Moto2 theme in the TFT console, carbonfibre bits on the bodywork and two exclusive colour schemes.

Engine: The Street Triple Moto2, RS and R use the same Euro 5/BS6-compliant 765cc in-line 3-cylinder engine. That said, they've been tuned for different power outputs. The Moto2 and RS, for instance, make 130PS at 12,000rpm (7PS more than the previous-gen RS variant) and 80Nm at 9500rpm (1Nm more than the previous-gen RS bike). As for the Street Triple R, it produces 120PS at 12000rpm (2PS more) and 80Nm at 9500rpm (3Nm more). Both bikes feature a 6-speed transmission aided by a slipper clutch and standard bi-directional quickshifter. Differences extend to the bike's hardware as well. Though both bikes use an upside-down fork from Showa, the RS comes with high performance big piston units (BPF) while the R uses separate function big piston forks (SF-BPF). The same goes for the rear monoshock: where the former makes use of a fully-adjustable Ohlins STX40 shock with piggyback reservoir while the latter makes do with Showa unit, also fully-adjustable. Braking is via Brembo Stylema calipers up front for the RS variant and Brembo M4.32 calipers in the R model (both with dual 310mm discs), whereas the rear uses a 220mm disc with Brembo caliper in both variants. The extreme Moto2 Edition comes with Ohlins NIX30 fork / Ohlins STX40 monoshock - both fully adjustable, whereas the braking system is the same as the RS variant.

Rivals: The Street Triple range goes up against the Ducati Monster, Kawasaki Z900 and BMW F 900 R. The Moto2 Edition, sadly, is not sold in India.
