2017 Triumph Street Cup
Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled the 2017 Street Cup
at the INTERMOT show in Cologne, Germany. It is a cafe racer-styled motorcycle
based on the existing Street Twin. It gets a lowered handlebar,
slightly rear-set footpegs and a single seat. As per the company, Street Cup
offers “new distinctive urban sports features, including an authentic bullet
seat and removable cafe racer seat cowl, racing inspired fly screen, and
bar-end mirrors."
Powering the bike is the same 'high torque'
liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine, displacing around 900 cc which also powers
the Street Twin. However, the Triumph Street Cup gets new upswept exhaust
mufflers. Mated to a 5-speed transmission, the motor makes 54.7 PS of power and
delivers a peak torque of 80Nm.
The bike shares most parts with its sibling, the Street Twin,
including the suspension set-up and the brakes. Along with the twin-pod,
digital-analog instrument cluster and LED tail lamp, the bike gets an USB
charging socket as well. The company is also providing advanced electronic
equipment, such as Ride-by-Wire, ABS, switchable traction control and a
torque-assisted clutch. Moreover, the company will offer more than 120 optional
accessories for the bike.
The Triumph Street Cup is expected to enter the
market by the end of this year and it will be positioned between the Street
Twin and the Bonneville T120 models.
