2013 Triumph Street Triple R

This is the roadster with an even sportier edge. And some. With a supersports spec, power and torque, it has an unmistakable attitude that tells you it-s ready for anything.

Triumph-s engineers have honed this roadster to perfection, giving it supersport specification, suspension and brakes. With power, torque and even more excitement, this is the most fun you can have on two wheels.

Its lightweight chassis is even more dynamic, delivering greater levels of agility and precision while keeping you firmly planted. Fitted with additional adjustable front forks, an RSU with both pre-load and damping adjustment the Street Triple R offers renowned ride quality, handling and control.

The liquid cooled 12 valve triple, combined with a close ratio six speed gearbox produce an exhilarating ride, and the under-engine silencer helps lower the centre gravity and improve handling. The Nissin radial 4-piston brakes are built to match the bike-s high performance, coping easily with higher speed and rapid deceleration. And the Street Triple R features state-of-the-art Anti-Lock Brakes as standard that can cope with even the hardest braking.

And because the ABS system is switchable, it can be easily deactivated whenever necessary via the instrument panel – it will then automatically re-activate when the motorbike is re-started.

The Street Triple R has distinctive good looks too, with stylish brushed metal finishes, aggressive headlights and a choice of colours complimenting the dark powder coated engine and the telltale red rear sub frame, red side radiator cowls, and red pin stripe detailing to the wheels.

The Street Triple R is not a subtle motorbike. It-s a bike with unmistakable attitude, for riders who want to take it to the max.

A global hit since its introduction, the Street Triple fuses the style and attitude of the iconic Speed Triple with the performance and agility of the class leading Daytona 675 supersports machine.

The torque and sound of the liquid cooled 12 valve triple, combined with a close ratio six speed gearbox produces an exciting, exhilarating ride that has made the Street Triple a hit with riders around the world and our best selling model since its launch.

Highly regarded for its light and intuitive handling, the 2013 Street Triple R takes things to a whole new level. Its 41mm inverted front forks are fully adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping to give the expert rider freedom to set the motorcycle up for their specific needs. The rear monoshock is an equally high-quality item, adjustable for preload and rebound damping.

Switchable state-of-the-art Anti-Lock Brakes are standard, allowing the rider to easily select the preferred method to deploy the twin 310mm floating front discs and powerful four-piston Nissin radial calipers. Altogether the package offers a setup that can be configured to suit track or road riding, while at the same time providing the security of incredible stopping power. A revised geometry of 23.4º / 95.0mm completes the picture.

Visually, the R model adds a red rear subframe, red pinstripe to the wheels and a red-detailed radiator shroud featuring a dominant R logo.

Three color options are available for the new Street Triple R in 2013: Phantom Black, Crystal White and Matte Graphite.
