More Power, Naked Performance: Triumph Introduces New Street Triple 765 Lineup at Valencia MotoGP Event
by Michael Gougis
Triumph unveiled its vision of a sporting middleweight on Thursday night at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, displaying a trio of naked roadsters with upgraded electronics and more raw power.
Triumph officials, joined by Carlos Ezpeleta, Sports director of Dorna Sports, said the 2024 Street Triple 765 range represented the direction of that market segment – more horsepower and torque, more sophistication and no fairing.
Triumph Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said the enhancements to the machine were driven by the success of the limited-edition Daytona Moto2 765. The engine, which formed the basis for the current era of spec Moto2 racebike powerplants, played a large part in driving customers to that machine, he said.
“A major part of the bike’s uniqueness came from its 765 engine,” Sargent said. “These (new Street Triples) represent that same commitment to bring what we’ve learned and developed in racing, the insight in innovation and design and the focus on high performance and durability, and applying all of that to our road motorcycle development.”
Triumph says the new Street Triples (all coming to the U.S. are 2024 models) feature engine upgrades that deliver an increase in peak torque to 59 lbs.-ft. for all three models. The new Street Triple 765 R makes 118 bhp, and the Street Triple RS and Moto2 editions make 128 bhp, Triumph claims.
All models now feature clutchless up- and down-shifting, and all come with optimized cornering ABS and switchable optimized cornering traction control. Chassis upgrades include a new gull-wing swingarm, higher specification Brembo Stylema brakes on the RS and Moto2 editions, and Ohlins suspension front and rear on the Moto2 model.
The R and RS models are expected in U.S dealer showrooms no later than April 2023, with the Moto2 edition available no later than June. Suggested retail for the R model starts at $9,995, with the RS going for $12,595 and the Moto2 edition for $15,395.

All the new generation’s improvements in capability and attitude, are combined with the class leading power and torque of the RS, an even more engaged and focused ride, courtesy of unique clip-on handlebars, and Öhlins fully adjustable forks deliver super-sharp and precise handling for both road and track. Carbon-fiber bodywork, official Moto2TM branding, a unique Moto2TM start-up screen, and an individually numbered top yoke mark this stunning machine as the ultimate Street Triple.
THE MOST POWERFUL STREET TRIPLE RANGE EVER
Thanks to major upgrades derived directly from the Moto2™ race engine program, the 765cc triple engine now delivers a step up in power and performance, at 118 HP, for the new Street R, and a category-leading peak power of 128 HP on the RS and Moto2™ Edition. Torque is also up across all three models, exhilarating from low down and all the way through the rev range, peaking at a new 59 lbs.-ft. Being a triple, its blend of usable low and mid-range torque and thrilling top-end performance makes for an exhilarating and characterful ride. The world-renowned engine is more responsive than ever, too – in addition to significant component updates, its shorter gear ratios deliver faster acceleration making this latest generation of Street Triple the sharpest and liveliest yet.
Significantly updated class-defining 765cc engine
Learnings taken directly from the Moto2™ race engine program have been applied to the new Street Triple 765 engine, making it more performance-focused and characterful than ever. The compression ratio has been raised from 12.65:1 to 13.25:1 – an increase of 4.7%. New pistons, con-rods and gudgeon pins are matched to new, optimized combustion chambers for an increased cylinder pressure limit, and ultimately, more power. New valves and camshafts give increased valve lift for improved intake, combustion, and exhaust efficiency, with new gearbox ratios for improved performance and responsiveness.
More power, even more accessible torque
The Street Triple’s outstanding performance and top-end power has been taken to the next level. The R peaks at 118 HP at 11,500rpm, while The RS and Moto2™ Edition now produce a category leading 128 HP at 12,000rpm, with all three models benefiting from the same usable torque down low in the rev-range and all the way through the mid-range with a notable increase from 7,500rpm onwards. Peak torque of 59 lbs.-ft. arrives at 9,500rpm.
The most responsive Street Triple ever
The gearbox has been revised to include shorter gear ratios for faster acceleration. Together with a new final drive ratio, the Street Triple is now sharper, livelier, and more responsive than ever. Combined with the increase in power and torque, which brings a notable improvement in performance, the Street Triple 765 cements its position as the class benchmark.
Hair-raising triple soundtrack
Further updates include a new exhaust system with increased flowrate, as well as a new sporty single-sided silencer, which delivers the Street Triple’s renowned and distinctive hair-raising sound.
THE PERFECT PERFORMANCE NAKED BIKE SET-UP
New technology, new high specification components, and the most agile Street Triple chassis to date, together with the optimum weight and balance, make the Street Triple range the best handling ever and the perfect performance naked bike set-up.
New poised and dynamic ergonomics
The new Street Triple 765 R and RS both benefit from the new generation’s more focused and commanding riding position, thanks to the new 0.47” (12mm) wider handlebars. The race-inspired Moto2™ Edition goes one step further again with clip-on handlebars, that are 3.149” (80mm) lower and 1.97” (50mm) further forward than the R and RS, which combined with its unique high-specification Öhlins forks, delivers even more race bike poise and front end feel for the most dynamic Street Triple ride ever.
Both the RS and the Moto2™ Edition feature revised geometry with a steeper rake and a raised back end for nimble, faster turning. Still as surefooted and planted as ever, these improvements sacrifice none of the confidence-inspiring attributes that the Street Triple has become renowned for.
With an accessible seat height of 32.52” (826mm) on the Street Triple R, 32.91” (836mm) on the Street Triple RS and 33.03” (839mm) Moto2TM Edition, a new accessory low seat option, with 3D net technology for enhanced comfort, can be fitted to reduce the height by a further 1.10” (28mm) on all models. For the Street Triple RS and Moto2TM Edition Triumph dealers can additionally lower the seat by a further 0.39” (10mm) if required through the implementation of a dedicated rear suspension linkage adaption, which when delivered in combination with the accessory low seat provides a very accessible height of 31.42” (798mm) on the RS and 31.54” (801mm) on the Moto2TM Edition.
New highest specification Brembo brakes
The Street Triple 765 R features high-quality braking components, with the excellent Brembo M4.32 4-piston radial monobloc calipers at the front and a Brembo single piston sliding caliper at the rear. For Street Triple 765 RS and Moto2™ Edition racetrack-capable braking performance comes as standard, with both models coming fitted as standard with top-spec Brembo Stylema 4-piston radial monobloc front calipers with twin 310mm floating discs. A matching Brembo MCS span and ratio adjustable lever gives even more control and finesse, while a Brembo single piston sliding caliper keeps things in check at the rear.
Linked brakes provide the perfect balance of front to rear braking for improved stability and reduced stopping distances.
High specification fully adjustable suspension
Complementing the Street Triple’s ground-breaking chassis design, top quality suspension components from Showa and Öhlins have been carefully selected to suit each model. All are fully adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound.
The Street Triple 765 R comes fitted with Showa 41mm upside down separate function big piston forks and a Showa piggyback reservoir monoshock RSU. For the higher specification Street Triple 765 RS this comes equipped with top-specification Showa 41mm upside down big piston forks and an Öhlins piggyback reservoir rear shock.
The Street Triple 765 Moto2™ Edition showcases its track-ready capability with its 43mm upside down Öhlins front forks for precise handling and an Öhlins piggyback reservoir rear shock. Front wheel travel on all models is 115mm, with 131.2mm rear wheel travel on the RS and Moto2™ Edition, and 133.5mm on the Street Triple R.
Track-ready tires
High performance Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires come fitted as standard to the Street Triple 765 RS and the Moto2™ Edition. These offer racetrack levels of grip and outstanding high-speed stability, all from a fully road legal tire.
The Street Triple 765 R comes with the versatile and well-regarded Continental ContiRoad tires, which offer superb levels of grip in both wet and dry road conditions. This makes them the ideal choice for all-season commuting as well as fast road riding.
Lightweight chassis and gullwing swingarm
The Street Triple’s gullwing swingarm has been developed for excellent torsional stiffness with lateral flexibility. The design maximizes stability at higher speeds for enhanced rider confidence while the pivot position provides natural resistance to compressing the rear shock absorber under hard acceleration. This translates into tight corner exits and precise, predictable chassis behavior.
This, combined with its lightweight chassis and incredible power-to-weight ratio, are key to the Street’s class-defining performance. Agile and exhilarating, with Triumph’s signature confidence-inspiring handling make it an accessible choice for all riders.
NEW AND IMPROVED RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY
The new Street Triple 765 range features some great advances in rider-focused technology. With improvements and refinements to the ABS, traction control and riding modes, performance and safety go hand-in-hand with rider comfort and convenience.
New Optimized Cornering ABS
The latest generation of optimized cornering ABS comes as standard on all three new Street Triple 765 models, ensuring the optimum braking performance at any lean angle. The system features a new ABS modulator with an integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) for more refined ABS control. Tailored settings integrated into each of the riding modes alter the level of ABS intervention, while a track-focused tune is also present for riders seeking minimal ABS intervention.
New Switchable Optimized Cornering Traction Control
Now standard on all three Street Triple 765 models, optimized cornering traction control supported by an IMU continuously calculates the lean angle to ensure the optimum slip rate and torque control. Four independently adjustable levels of intervention can be selected to suit riding styles and road conditions, including a track-focused tune with minimal intervention as well as the ability to turn it off altogether, for experienced riders in high-grip racetrack situations.
Upgraded riding modes for a more dynamic feel
The new Street Triple 765 R features four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Rider-configurable, making it easy to fine tune the Street Triple to suit the rider’s preferences.
The Street Triple 765 RS and Moto2™ Edition have five riding modes, adding a Track mode to the R’s four standard modes. This track mode has been designed to be as unintrusive as possible while still providing the reassurance that the electronic systems are there to help in unexpected situations.
Each riding mode adjusts the character and behavior of the bike, with new more dynamic throttle maps in Road, Sport, and Track modes for an even more responsive feel. Rain mode restricts the engine power to 98.6 HP while increasing the level of ABS and Traction Control intervention for better feel and control in wet conditions.
5” full-color TFT instruments
The new Street Triple 756 RS and Moto2™ Edition feature 5” full-color TFT instruments. The ergonomically optimized switch cubes and five-way joystick offer intuitive system navigation. The MyTriumph connectivity system is pre-enabled, meaning that Street Triple owners can access turn-by-turn navigation, phone control and music operation via the accessory-fit Bluetooth module and free My Triumph app.
A lap timer is included on the RS and Moto2™ Edition for track day use, while the Moto2™ Edition also features a unique and distinctive start up sequence that displays the official Moto2™ logo. The Street Triple 765 R comes fitted with its own dedicated easy-to-read multi-functional instrument set-up, which includes a TFT display for key information.
Latest generation Triumph Shift Assist
Triumph’s latest track-ready up and down quickshifter is fitted as standard to all three Street Triple models. Ideal for track and fast road riding, upshifts can be made without closing the throttle for a smooth, fast shift that won’t unsettle the bike.
Downshifts can also be made without the use of the clutch and without the need to blip the throttle to match the gear and engine speeds as this process is automatically carried out by the new Street Triple. This feature represents a major riding aid on corner entry, allowing a smooth and controlled deceleration.
Slip and assist clutch
Triumph’s slip and assist clutch fitted to all three Street Triple models ensures a light and consistent lever feel for enhanced comfort and control on the road, particularly useful in the stop/start scenario of an urban commute.
Front wheel lift control
The front-wheel lift control is designed to enhance control while feeling barely noticeable to the rider. Advanced new algorithms continuously monitor signals from the IMU to ensure smoother control and faster progress.
SHARPER STYLING, WITH A MORE AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE AND POISE
Carefully evolved since its launch in 2007, the striking new aesthetic delivers the unmistakable Street Triple design DNA with the most aggressive attitude and poise yet. With new racing-derived ‘765’ sporty graphics, this new Street Triple generation redefines the category, setting a new benchmark for the performance naked bike class.
All-new bodywork
Completely redesigned, the Street Triple’s sharper and more focused style is the result of attention to a great number of details. The new 3.96-gallon (15-liter) fuel tank has integrated side panels with an angular design that aligns beautifully with the sharper radiator cowls, further complemented by a new headlight finisher that also incorporates the air intake. Additionally, there’s a new color-coded belly pan for the RS — which is available as an accessory option for the R.
The rear end of the new Street Triple is no less exceptional, with a sporty, upswept design to give a focused, nose-down attitude. The RS features a color-coded seat cowl with an interchangeable passenger seat – making switching between different configurations easy. The new silencer shape adds to the Street Triple’s aggressive stance as well as accentuating the hair-raising Triumph triple soundtrack.
As the ultimate, race-inspired Street Triple, the Moto2™ Edition features lightweight carbon fiber bodywork including the front mudguard, side panels, headlight finisher and belly pan. Adding yet more exclusivity and desirability, each of these limited-edition motorcycles has an exquisitely machined top yoke with its number etched onto it. Just 765 of each color scheme will be made, making this the most exclusive, and collectable, Street Triple to date.
New race-derived Street Triple color schemes
The Street Triple 765 R is available in two contemporary colors: Silver Ice with Storm Grey and Yellow graphics or Crystal White with Storm Grey and Lithium Flame graphics.
For the Street Triple 765 RS, there’s a choice of three bold and distinctive paint schemes; Silver Ice with Baja Orange and Storm Grey graphics, Carnival Red with Carbon Black and Aluminum Silver graphics or Cosmic Yellow with Carbon Black and Aluminum Silver graphics.
Finally, the Moto2™ Edition comes in two, eye-catching race-derived liveries. Triumph Racing Yellow with an Aluminum Silver rear sub-frame or Crystal White with Triumph Racing Yellow rear subframe. With official Moto2™ branding on the tank, wheel, tail unit and silencer, these limited-edition machines offer a unique, race-inspired aesthetic as well as a completely new Street Triple riding experience.

More than 50 Genuine Triumph Accessories will be available for the new Street Triple range. Allowing owners to tailor their Street Triples to their needs, from cruise control (RS and Moto2™ Edition only) to fly screens, heated grips, passenger grab handles, low seat option, and bespoke luggage, there’s an accessory for every type of Street Triple rider.
