The irruption of Asian brands in the international market of the early 1980s meant a severe economic crisis for Triumph, which closed its doors in 1983. Businessman John Bloor acquired the trademark and image rights of the company and brought it back to life in 1984.
Since then, the brand has produced the latest state-of-the-art motorcycles, offering exceptional reliability and performance, without losing the elegance, style and classical mystique of its old models.
With the Street Triple RS, Triumph brings the highest quality on mixed motorcycles (for city or circuit driving) delivering excellent performances in all circumstances. The modern design of the RS can be seen immediately in its front lights, with a center-extended design featuring LED headlamps, and an impressive 5” instrumental display.
From the onboard computer, riders can select various rotation modes that control the accelerator, brakes, and traction according to the conditions of the road and the benefits that the driver wants to obtain. The pilot manages these options using the buttons and joystick drive levers, located at both ends of the handle.
To guarantee a smooth, safe ride, the RS model features Brembo M50 ventilated disc brakes, adjustable Showa “Big-piston” front suspension, and high-speed responsive Ölins STX40 mono-suspension.
With the Street Triple RS, Triumph redefines the performance limits of city motorcycles and significantly modernizes the driver’s experience. It is an excellent alternative that will quickly win the hearts of all motorcycling fans.
