Updated for this year is the 2020 Triumph
Street Triple 765R, following in the footsteps of the 765RS, launched last
year. As per the RS, the 765R now comes with revised head cowl and the same LED
headlight design.
The 765 cc, three-cylinder power plant on
the 765R is now Euro 5 compliant and produces 118 PS at 12,000 rpm with torque
rated at 77 Nm at 9,400 rpm. This compares against the 123 PS at 11,750 rpm and
79 Nm of torque of the 765RS version with better engine response on the 765R
coming from a 7% reduction in rotational inertia.
Also part of the 765R’s standard equipment
is an up-and-down quickshifter on the six-speed gearbox plus shift-assist
clutch. Braking uses Brembo M4.32 four-piston callipers clamping 310 mm floating
discs on the front wheel and a single-piston Brembo calliper at the back with
two-channel ABS as standard. While the 765RS gets Showa BPF full-adjustable
forks, the 765 R comes with 41 mm upside-down Showa SF-BPF forks with
compression and rebound adjustment in separate legs. As for the monoshock, the
765R uses a Showa unit with adjustable compression and rebound damping and
preload.
Inside the cockpit, the 765R uses a
combination monochrome LCD display with analogue tachometer and ride-by-wire
gives three ride modes – Sport, Road and Rain – along with traction control.
Along with the standard fitment Pirelli Rosso III tyres, the 765R also comes
with low ride height option the brings seat height down to 780 mm from the
standard 825 mm.
Dry weight is claimed to be 168.4 kg,
versus the 166 kg dry weight of the 765RS and fuel is carried in a 17.4-litre
tank. There are two colour options for the 2020 Triumph Street Triple 765R –
Sapphire Black and Matt Silver Ice.
