Triumph has now launched the BS6 Street
Twin in India. The 900cc twin-cylinder motorcycle falls under the British
company’s Modern Classics range of products and complies with the latest and
more stringent Bharat Stage 6 emission standards. The BS6 Triumph Street Twin
is available at a starting price of INR 7.45 lakh*.
Apart from the BS6 update, the new Triumph
Street Twin remains identical to its BS4 version. Inspired by the original 1959
Bonneville, it features retro styling with modern elements. The design of the
side turn signals complements the round headlight. The fork gaiters add that
much more boldness to the bike’s front look. Also, the gorgeous twin exhausts
emanating from the engine play a significant role in making the Street Twin the
character-rich motorcycle it is.
We are also big fans of the Triumph Street
Twin’s all-black theme which includes black alloy wheels, black side panels,
and black engine. This setup certainly makes the Modern Classic look a bit
sportier. As for the hardware, the Street Twin comes with a pair of 41mm
non-adjustable KYB forks with cartridge damping at the front and KYB twin RSUs
with pre-load adjustment at the back. The braking department is supervised by a
310mm floating front disc with Brembo four-piston fixed calliper and 220mm rear
disc with Nissin 2-piston floating calliper. They are also accompanied by a
dual-channel ABS.
The BS6 Triumph Street Twin has an LCD
multi-functional instrument cluster that shows a plethora of information such
as speedometer, engine rpm, odometer, gear position indicator, fuel gauge,
range to empty indication, service indicator, clock, 2 trip metres, average and
current fuel consumption display, traction control status display, and more.
The 900cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled
engine of the BS6 Triumph Street Twin has 8 valves and a 270-degree crank
angle. It is tuned to produce a maximum power of 65 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 80 Nm
of peak torque is generated at 3,700 rpm. The 5-speed gearbox has a multi-plate
assist clutch. The BS6 Triumph Street Twin has 3 colour options - Jet Black,
Matte Ironstone, and Korosi Red. The first one costs INR 7.45 lakh* whereas the
remaining two will set you back by INR 7.58 lakh*.
