While talking to company officials during the recently conducted media rides of the new 2017 Triumph Street Triple RS in Barcelona, Spain, we found out that Triumph is planning to launch the Street Triple S in India soon. The 2017 Street Triple line-up consists of three motorcycles – the Street Triple S, Street Triple R and the Street Triple RS. While the British bike maker plans to launch the Street Triple S in the country by mid-2017, the other two variants will be introduced sometime late this year.
The Triumph Street Triple range has been one of the bestselling bike ranges for Triumph across the globe, with over 50,000 units being sold globally till date. It is also one of the bestselling bikes in India. The 2017 range receives cosmetic and mechanical updates along with few more bells and whistles. The motorcycle will be assembled locally with an expected price tag of Rs 8-9 lakhs.
The previous Street Triple model was detuned in terms of power output and the Indian model made only 79PS of maximum power compared to the globally sold 106PS motor. Triumph have chucked the discrimination with the 2017 Street Triple range and the bikesnow developsthe same power as the ones which will be sold globally.
The 2017 bike is powered by a 765cc, triple-cylinder engine which develops 113PS for the S variant, 119PS for the R variant, and 123PS for the RS variant. The Street Triple is equipped with ride-by-wire technology, two rider modes, twin traction control settings, and ABS to mention a few. The bike will take on the likes of the new Kawasaki Z900, which will also be launched soon.
