Triumph Motorcycles India have introduced new colour options on their popular roadsters, the Street Triple R and the Street Triple RS.

The other option is a much more subtle colour called Pure White and it is relatively cheaper at Rs 10.17 lakh. It looks pretty neat on the Street Triple R and the small orange stripes on the body panels add a little contrast. With the addition of the two new colours, the Street Triple R is now available in four colours. The other two colours are Silver Ice and Crystal White.

There is, however, some much needed contrast offered by the yellow graphics although these are minimal. The price of the bike in this colour is Rs 12.07 lakh, ex-showroom. The other colours, Carnival Red and Cosmic Yellow are also priced at the same point. The Silver Ice colour, however, is cheaper by about Rs 30,000.
