As the Speed Triple’s younger brother, the Street Triple is a rebel with plenty of cause – lean, light, agile and dripping with attitude.

Packing a powerful 106bhp punch delivered at 11,700rpm, the Street Triple sits at the top of the naked middleweight category, and 51ft.lbf of torque arriving at 9,100rpm, the bike is guaranteed to outperform all of its middleweight competitors and quite a few heavyweights too.

The proven 675cc water-cooled three-cylinder 12-valve engine delivers strong low and midrange performance, from tickover to redline.

One of the best things about the bike’s performance is that you don’t have to work hard to get it: the Street Triple produces more than 44ft.lbf of torque from 3,500rpm right through to 12,300rpm.

The Street Triple’s aluminium frame comes directly from the Daytona and was specifically designed to take advantage of the narrow three-cylinder engine. The wheelbase is 1,395mm (54.9in), while dry weight is 167kg (367lbs).

Braking power is at the top of its class thanks to the Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads. Lightweight five-spoke wheels come straight from the Daytona 675; the Street Triple also uses its elder brother’s headlights.

The low seat and new footrests and handlebars provide a comfortable riding position for both rider and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter styling of the bike.

A full range of Triumph accessories are available, including a neat, aerodynamic fly screen, an easy-to-fit colour-matched seat cowl for a sleek tail end finish and a sharp belly pan, which protects the engine whilst complementing the naked style.
