2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition Urban Motorcycle – Features and Price

Significantly updated class-defining 765cc engine

The 2023 Street Triple engine is more performance-focused and character-driven than ever, thanks to lessons learned straight from the Moto2 racing engine program. The compression ratio has increased by 4.7%, from 12.65:1 to 13.25:1. New, optimized combustion chambers are paired with new pistons, con-rods, and gudgeon pins to raise the cylinder pressure limit and, eventually, provide greater power. With updated transmission ratios for enhanced performance and responsiveness, redesigned camshafts and valves provide more valve lift for better intake, combustion, and exhaust efficiency.

More power, even more accessible torque

For 2023, the Street Triple’s exceptional performance and high-end power have been enhanced. The RS and Moto2 Edition now generate a class-leading 130PS at 12,000rpm, while the R peaks at 120PS at 11,500rpm. All three models share the same proper torque low in the rev range and throughout the mid-range, with a noticeable rise starting at 7,500rpm. At 9,500 rpm, the maximum torque of 80 Nm is achieved.

New poised and dynamic ergonomics

Thanks to the new 12mm more oversized handlebars, the 2023 Street Triple R and RS also benefit from the latest generation’s more commanding and concentrated riding stance. With its special high-specification Öhlins forks, the race-inspired 2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition Urban Motorcycle goes one step further with clip-on handlebars that are 50mm forward and 80mm lower than the R and RS. This creates even more front-end feel and race bike poise for the most dynamic Street Triple ride ever.

The RS and Moto2 Edition also have updated geometry with a steeper slope and a higher rear end for quicker, more agile turning. These upgrades don’t diminish the Street Triple’s signature confidence-boosting qualities, which have made it even more confident and grounded than before.

New highest specification Brembo brakes

The Street Triple R has top-notch brake parts, including a Brembo single-piston sliding caliper at the back and superb Brembo M4.32 4-piston radial monobloc calipers up front. Racetrack-capable braking capability is standard on the Street Triple RS and Moto2 Edition, equipped with high-end Brembo Stylema four-piston radial monobloc front calipers with dual 310mm floating discs. A Brembo single-piston sliding caliper keeps everything in check at the back, and a matching Brembo MCS span and ratio adjustable lever adds even more control and delicacy.

Linked brakes offer the ideal front-to-rear braking ratio for increased stability and shorter stopping distances.

Specification of fully adjustable suspension

Superior suspension parts from Showa and Öhlins have been meticulously chosen to fit each model, completing the Street Triple’s revolutionary chassis design. All of them have complete preload, compression, and rebound adjustments.

The Street Triple R has a Showa piggyback reservoir monoshock RSU and Showa 41mm upside down, which are separate function large piston forks. An Öhlins piggyback reservoir rear shock and top-spec Showa 41mm upside down big piston forks are included with the higher-spec Street Triple RS.

With its Öhlins piggyback reservoir rear shock and 43mm upside down Öhlins front forks for precision handling, the Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition demonstrates its track-ready capabilities. All versions have 115mm of front wheel travel; the RS and Moto2 Edition have 131.2mm, and the Street Triple R has 133.5mm of rear wheel travel.

Track-ready tires

The Street Triple RS and the Moto2 Edition are equipped with standard high-performance Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires. These provide exceptional high-speed stability and racetrack-level grip in a road-legal tire.

The Street Triple R is equipped with highly recognized and adaptable Continental ContiRoad tires, which provide exceptional traction on dry and wet roads. They are, therefore, the best option for rapid road riding and all-season commuting.

Lightweight chassis and gullwing swingarm

The Street Triple’s gullwing swingarm was designed with exceptional lateral flexibility and torsional rigidity. The pivot location naturally resists compressing the rear shock absorber during severe acceleration, and the design maximizes stability at higher speeds for increased rider confidence. This results in accurate, predictable chassis behavior and tight corner exit.

The Street’s performance is class-defining because of its lightweight chassis and excellent power-to-weight ratio. It is an accessible option for all riders due to its agile and thrilling handling and Triumph’s renowned confidence-inspiring style.

5″ full-colour TFT instruments

No matter the rider’s height, the new Street Triple 756 RS and Moto2 Edition include 5″ full-color TFT instruments with angle adjustment for the ideal perspective. The five-way joystick and ergonomically designed switch cubes provide simple system navigation. Because the My Triumph connectivity system is pre-enabled, Street Triple owners may use the free My Triumph app and accessory-fit Bluetooth module to access turn-by-turn navigation, phone control, and music playback.

The RS and Moto2 Edition come with lap timers for track day use, and the Moto2 Edition has a unique start-up sequence that shows the official Moto2 emblem. A TFT display providing important information is part of the Street Triple R’s unique, easily readable, multi-functional instrument setup.

Latest generation Triumph Shift Assist

All three Street Triple models are equipped with Triumph’s newest up-and-down quick-shifter, suitable for the racetrack. Upshifting without cutting the throttle allows for a smooth, quick shift that won’t shake the bike, making it perfect for Track and fast road riding.

Because the MY23 Street Triple does this automatically, downshifts may also be accomplished without the clutch or the need to blip the new throttle to match the gear and engine speeds. This feature makes smooth and controlled deceleration possible, which is a significant riding help when entering a bend.

Distinctive all-LED lighting

All three variants have all-LED lighting. When market regulations allow, the RS and Moto2 Edition integrate a unique-looking DRL (daytime running light) into the headlights. Position lights provide a similarly unique lighting profile for the Street Triple R. Typically, self-canceling signs are installed.

All-new bodywork

The Street Triple’s crisper and more concentrated look, entirely revamped for 2022, is the product of meticulous attention to detail. A redesigned headlamp finisher that integrates the air intake complements the new 15-liter fuel tank’s integrated side panels, which have an angular form that blends well with the sharper radiator cowls. In addition, the RS has a new color-coded belly pan that may be purchased as an add-on for the R.

The dynamic, upswept style of the new Street Triple’s rear end gives it a concentrated, nose-down attitude, making it equally impressive. With its color-coded seat cowl and detachable pillion seat, the RS makes it simple to move between configurations.

The redesigned silencer form enhances the Street Triple’s assertive posture, which also highlights the thrilling Triumph triple soundscape.

The Moto2 Edition, the ultimate race-inspired Street Triple, has lightweight carbon fiber bodywork, including the belly pan, side panels, headlamp finisher, and front mudguard. Each of these limited-edition motorcycles has a beautifully machined top yoke with its number carved, adding even more uniqueness and appeal. This is the most unique and collectible Street Triple, with only 765 of each color scheme produced.

New race-derived Street Triple color schemes

There are two modern color options for the Street Triple R: Crystal White with Storm Grey and Lithium Flame graphics or Silver Ice with Storm Grey and Yellow graphics.

Three striking and unique paint jobs are available for the Street Triple RS: Carnival Red with Carbon Black and Aluminum Silver graphics, Silver Ice with Baja Orange and Storm Grey graphics, or Cosmic Yellow with Carbon Black and Aluminum Silver graphics.

Lastly, the 2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition Urban Motorcycle has two striking race-inspired liveries: Crystal White with a Triumph Racing Yellow rear subframe or Triumph Racing Yellow with an aluminum silver rear subframe. These limited-edition motorcycles, which include official Moto2 branding on the silencer, wheel, tail unit, and tank, provide a whole new Street Triple riding experience and a distinctive, race-inspired look.
