2015 Triumph Street Triple RX — Naked Daytonafied

 

Building a special edition machine for INTERMOT, the British have debuted the 2015 Triumph Street Triple RX, which is based off the Triumph Street Triple R. Borrowing from the Triumph Daytona 675 however, the Triumph Street Triple RX takes many styling points from its supersport cousin, namely the Daytona’s tail section.

Also coming in a matte silver with red accents, the Street Triple RX is channeling heavily on the Daytona, and even has a quickshifter to mimic the Dayton’s sport appeal. At the heart of the machine though is the same 675cc three-cylinder engine, that pumps out 106hp.

 

Mostly a cosmetic exercise from Hinkley, this is what we get to chew on, since Triumph canned its 250cc sport bike project. 20 high-resolution photos await you after the jump.
 

2014 Triumph Speed Triple R & Gold Chrome Helmet

2014 Triumph Speed Triple R is embellished with new colors, richer equipment and more modern rear light.

While on the tech side, the new Speed Triple R remained unchanged, Triumph added some cosmetic tweaks to the new model year machine.
 
The most important change to the bike is the ABS, which is now standard equipment as opposed to the 2013 model, for which it was an option, available for extra bucks. The 1,050cc triple-cylinder power plant delivers 133 HP and 111 Nm (82 ft-lbs) of torque, just like the non-R version.

The main novelty is moving plastic cover from the additional standard equipment. So from now on Speed Triple R has a mask, shuttering the bottom of the unit and cover the passenger seat.

Displacement of 675cc, liquid- cooled, 12 – valve, DOHC, in- line 3 – cylinder, sequential electronic fuel injection with SAI . Transmission 6 -speed, close ratio, wet clutch, multi -plate.
Maximum power of 105 hp at 11850 rpm and 68 Nm of torque at 9750 rpm.

Frame is aluminum beam twin – spar, front suspension Kayaba 41mm upside down forks with adjustable preload, rebound and compression damping, 115mm wheel travel and rear suspension Kayaba Monoshock with piggy back reservoir adjustable for rebound and compression damping, 135mm wheel travel.

Triumph Review: 2013 Triumph Street Triple

The 2013 Triumph Street Triple and Street Triple R were revealed in Cologne, Germany last year. The 2013 motorcycles have been completely redesigned and are described below.

Triumph’s Street Triple has been one of the success stories of recent years, collecting numerous accolades along the way and being recognized for delivering class-leading dynamics alongside an unforgettable riding experience. Fusing the style and attitude of the Speed Triple with the agility of the Daytona 675, and delivering it all for a very competitive price, it wowed the industry when it arrived in 2007.

For 2013, the Street Triple has been completely redesigned to offer an even more exhilarating ride. Heralding the change is an all-new chassis. An aluminum beam twin-spar frame meets a new two-piece high-pressure die-cast rear subframe. Not only is the chassis robust and hard-edged, it’s also advanced. Engineered to optimise dynamism, agility and rider enjoyment, the design is lighter thanks to fewer pieces and fewer welds in the frame.

A key component in the Street Triple’s improved handling is the all-new low-mount exhaust. Not only does this provide a sharp new look, but it offers a significant contribution to redistributing the center of gravity and the weight of the exhaust. Its design and optimized mass centralization has also afforded Triumph’s engineers the opportunity to tweak the geometry, reducing the rake to 24.1 degrees and increasing the trail by 0.5mm to 99.6m. As a package, it adds up to razor sharp dynamic handling weighing just 403 pounds, fully fuelled—a substantial 13 pound weight reduction over the outgoing model.

The handling of the Street Triple is complimented by KYB suspension via 41mm upside down forks. Stopping power is provided by a dual 310mm floating disc front brake set up, with Nissin two-piston sliding calipers. Further braking security is provided by the standard ABS, which itself is fully switchable.

The heart of the Street Triple remains the liquid-cooled, 12-valve, 675cc 3-cylinder engine. Combined with the close ratio 6-speed gearbox, the unit delivers 105 horsepower and 50 lb-ft of torque. The power plant has been tuned for incredibly strong low-to-mid-range performance.

Three metallic color options are available for the 2013 Street Triple: Phantom Black, Crystal White and Caribbean Blue.
