2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 R and RS: Details explained

Triumph unveiled the 2023 Street Triple 765 range recently in the UK. While the Hinckley manufacturer introduced three models - R, RS, and Moto2 - the Indian market will only receive the R and RS trim. So, let’s look at all the India-bound 2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 lineup details. 

New Cosmetics

For 2023, the English streetfighter will sport a sharper twin-pod LED headlight, a tad aggressive design, a new gullwing swingarm and a radiator cowl as well. The RS variant comes with new interchangeable seat cowl and the Street Triple 765 also gets a body-coloured belly pan. Triumph has also added a lower chain guard on the new model. 

More Power

On the mechanical front, Triumph has bumped the power and the Street Triple now makes 118.4bhp at 11,500rpm and 80Nm of peak torque at 9,500rpm on the R variant while the RS now belts out 128.2bhp at 12,000rpm and 80Nm at 9,500rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed gearbox and gets a bi-directional quickshifter (standard for the RS). 

Features and Rider Aids

The 2023 range benefits from rider aids like five rider modes - Rain, Road, Sport, Track, and Rider - cornering ABS, LED illumination, traction control, wheelie control, and dual-channel ABS. The RS trim also boasts a lap timer, a cruise control system, and a five-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. 

Hardware Setup

Triumph has upgraded the hardware for the RS trim and it rides on Showa 41 mm USD Big Piston Forks (BPF) and Öhlins STX40 piggyback reservoir monoshock. Its braking hardware comprises twin 310mm floating discs with Brembo Stylema 4-piston radial monobloc calipers at the front and 220mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS. The R model is equipped with Showa 41 mm Seperate Function Forks and a Showa piggyback reservoir monoshock.
