Triumph Street Twin 2016

Triumph Street Twin 2016

The Triumph Street Twin is a pleasure bike par excellence, whose 55 hp engine impressively proves what really matters, namely torque. And exactly where you need it, in the middle of the rev range. 80 Nm push the 217 kg motorbike forward with pleasant pressure and never tempt the rider to overtax the engine, i.e. to rev it. In terms of design, Triumph remained authentic as usual and offers countless possibilities for customisation with over 450 accessories and the three "Inspiration Packs". A lesson in modern classics.
