Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2018

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2018

As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!

Fantastically lively engine

high quality standard

quickshifter with blipper as standard

roaring sound

excellent Brembo M50 brake system

ABS and traction control as standard

New frame, new seating position

Reverse linkage on shock absorber

Better automatic gearshift

Powerful engine despite Euro 5

Sensitive electronics

Easily scratched plastic between seat and tank

brake squeaks at walking speed
