Triumph Motorcycles has revealed the 2020
iteration of the Street Triple S – the base model of the Street Triple range.
The latest iteration of the middleweight roadster-segment motorcycle features
several styling and mechanical upgrades.
Triumph Motorcycles has revealed the
engine specifications of the A2 (European market) version of the motorcycle.
The India-bound model will feature the Euro-V (BS-VI) compliant 765 cc
liquid-cooled, 12-valve, DOHC, inline three-cylinder motor that currently
powers the 2020 Street Triple RS. The power and torque numbers on the S model
will be lower than the higher-spec RS variant, although they could be at par
with the outgoing (Euro-IV/BS-IV) version. The BS-IV Triumph Street Triple S,
for reference, makes 113 PS/111.5 BHP of power at 11,250 rpm and a peak torque
of 73 Nm at 10,421 rpm.
The Euro-V compliant A2 version uses a 660
cc displacement motor (76.0 mm bore x 48.5 mm stroke) that makes 47.6 PS at
9,000 rpm (95.2 PS @ 11,250rpm de-restricted) and a peak torque of 60 Nm at
5,250 rpm (66 Nm at 9,250 rpm de-restricted). The motorcycle comes with two
riding modes – Road and Rain, adjustable throttle response and traction control
settings.
In terms of styling, the 2020 Triumph
Street Triple S features an updated front fascia that packs aggressive new
styling. The design is similar to the 2020 RS model. The headlight setup, too,
is updated, and it now uses LED units. Other styling upgrades include new
sporty and angular bodywork along with a new fly screen, air intake, side
panels and rear unit. Triumph Motorcycles has also added restyled mirrors that
feature increased adjustability. The overall package has been further enhanced
with a new paint scheme and new contemporary decals.
The hardware specifications include dual,
310 mm floating discs with Nissin 2-piston sliding callipers at the front and a
single 220 mm disc with Brembo single-piston calliper at the back. Switchable
ABS is part of the package. The suspension setup comprises 41 mm Showa separate
function forks and preload-adjustable Showa piggyback reservoir mono-shock
suspension at the front and the rear respectively.
The motorcycle can be added with over 60
accessories that comprise scrolling LED indicators, a new flyscreen visor, new
machined mirrors and reservoirs, tail tidy, colour-coordinated belly pan and
seat cowl and clear rear light. Triumph Shift Assist up and down quick-shifter,
Arrow silencer, multi-setting heated grips and adjustable levers are also
available as optional extras.
