With the change in Malaysian government and much
news about GST being zero-rated, the 2019 Triumph Street Triple 765RS is
updated for the model year in two new colours – Matte Black and Crystal White.
The price of the Street Triple 765RS is now estimated to be RM 62,900, which
excludes GST, but is pending approval from the authorities.
Mechanically unchanged from the 2017 model, the
765RS carries Triumph’s trademark inline-triple with DOHC and 12-valves,
producing 121 hp at 11,700 rpm and 77 Nm of torque at 10,800 rpm. Fuelling is
done by multipoint sequential fuel injection and ride-by-wire throttle.
Power gets to the ground via a quickshifter equipped
six-speed gearbox with slip-assisted clutch and chain final drive. A full
electronics suite comes with the 765RS, including five ride modes and
switchable traction control and ABS is standard.
Braking is done with Brembo’s top-of-the-line M50
four-piston radial monobloc calliper brakes, grabbing 310 mm diameter discs in
front. Suspension also uses high-end components, comprising of a Showa 41 mm
diameter upside-down fork in front and Ohlins STX40 monoshock in the rear, both
fully-adjustable.
Other models in the Triumph Street Triple 765 range
are the base model 765S at RM 48,900 and the low seat 765R at RM 56,900. The 2019
Triumph Street Triple 765RS in new colours is available for sale at Triumph
Malaysia.
