The category-benchmark-setting 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster can be done for model year 2023 now, along with a new Carbon Black shade across the tank, front mudguard, fly screen, side panels, rear bodywork, seat cowl, belly pan, and even the radiator guard. It also has specific bronze wheels and Bronze and Jet Black graphics, which give a high-quality and sporty appeal to a new Street Triple RS.
Triumph’s Street Triple R, the definitive street fighter, also comes in the 2023 Matt Carbon Black model, framed by a metallic grey graphics design. The Matt Carbon Black is used on the tank, front mudguard, fly screen, side panels, rear bodywork, seat cowl, and radiator guard.
The new generation 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster shows a major step up in performance. It has a new 765cc triple engine in its heart—the engine developed by Triumph’s Moto2 engine team—and bodywork styled for track-day use.
The Street Triple already offered a great platform with a revolutionary ride, a game-changing ride since its launch. Now, the new RS raises the bar once more.
2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster – Features and Specs
Category-defining from the very beginning
The 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster is light, fast, fun, agile, and stylish. Since its introduction in 2007, it has been described as a game-changing bike with its unique character and exhilarating but more powerful triple engine. It created a whole new segment of the middleweight sports category, setting this model as a benchmark for its accessibility in terms of design, lightweight and easily manageable, inspiring power and response, and unrivaled triple punch sound better than 2022 Street Triple RS.

Transitioning from its stellar 675cc triple to an even more rewarding 765cc in 2017, the Street Triple did it again and made a new category benchmark for itself, the lightest bike in class with all-new cutting-edge technology and higher precision chassis and an unmatched triumphant quotient of finish and detailing.
The 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster has been developed with the ambition of creating a new class-leading bike with a significant increase in power, a substantially more aggressive attitude, and even more innovative ride-improving features. When complemented by its typically agile, dynamic handling and high-spec suspension, brakes, and tires, the new Street Triple RS is ideally suited to the street and the racetrack.
A significant improvement was made in the previous model regarding power and torque output.
A giant leap forward in performance, the new 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster now comes with a substantial power upgrade to the Street Triple’s much-loved 765cc triple engine, which has received a competition-developed Euro 5 update from Triumph’s Moto2TM engine specialists. This was accomplished by upping the torque by 9% from mid-range and boosting it up to 79 Nm at 9,350 rpm. The radical new chromatography exhaust balance pipe refines the torque delivery for usable, exhilarating torque from low rpm right through the rev range.
Torque is also raised by 9 percent in the mid-range, and power output totals 123PS at 11,750 rpm, making the new 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster a fully engaging motorcycle. Some of the new motor changes are: a new exhaust cam has been improved for more mid-range use; a new higher-precision crankshaft clutch and balancer reduce inertia and engine mass.
The brand new throttle is also now even more responsive, due in part to a 7% cut in rotational inertia; teamed with the uprated torque output across the rev range, it adds up to a good slug of extra sharpness.
Hugely more assertive behavior, body language, and look
It offers a major update to its distinguished design to make the latest 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster look even more menacing. All the LED headlights are new, with dramatic new forms and even more focused and determined looks. They are also now whiter and brighter, so they are a lot more noticeable. The Daytime Running Lights ( DRLs—market applicable) are entirely new and more distinctive in design while enhancing illumination.
As you can see, the new 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster has all-new bodywork, which, in my opinion, is much sharper, much sportier, and with much better lines ever. The latest fly screen and air intake are more protruding, mimicking the look of the new DRL. Plus, the side panels, rear unit, seat cowl, and belly pan are fully new and very different from before.
The 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster is the sportiest model of the Street Triples and has the highest fit and finish levels. It has a new Titanium Silver main frame and the same finish as the latest generation Speed Triple models.
Even better technology
Beyond setting an already very high category standard for technology that it leads, the new 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster boasts of an even better technology-perceived quality. It is now possible to enjoy additional TFT system capabilities when My Triumph connectivity system software is activated and set to work with the Bluetooth accessory-fit module. This means GoPro interaction, turn-by-turn directions, and phone and music control through the ergonomically designed switch cubes, all depicted on the TFT screen. It also encompasses the new style of generation graphic schemes, four formats, four styles, and four colors. The TFT screen can also be tilted to the rider’s height for better viewing angles.
The latest Triumph Shift Assist, an up-and-down quick shifter, has also been incorporated into the 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster, making the bike a lot more capable, especially on the track. This allows sharp movement through the gears without having to change position on the accelerator pedal, which is rather tiring.
The five riding modes (Road, Rain, Sport, Track, Rider) have now been enhanced to accommodate this extra performance of the bike and enable the rider to have maximum control. These modes control accelerator pedal maps, abs degree, and traction and can be selected during the ride. Rain mode limits power to 100PS, providing maximum safety and maneuverability.
Combined with this new technology, the 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS Roadster retains exceptional standard equipment: ride-by-wire, adjustable ABS, and switchable traction control.
