2008 Triumph Street Triple Preview

Through a potent combination of performance DNA extracted from the Daytona 675 and aggressive streetfighter styling drawn from the Speed Triple, comes the most desirable naked middleweight motorcycle in the market – the Street Triple. As the Speed Triple’s younger brother, the Street Triple is a rebel with plenty of cause – lean, light and agile. The Street Triple has masses of attitude and makes the most sensible rider grin like an idiot.

The Urban Sports Range - The 675cc and 1050cc triple engines that power Triumph’s stunning sports bikes are renowned for their strength and flexibility from tickover to redline. The range includes Streetfighters, Supersports, Adventure Sports and Sports Touring bikes all with unique character, real world performance and a distinctive triple roar.

The close-ratio six-speed gearbox maximises the effectiveness of the engine’s impressive power and torque, always giving you the perfect gear.

Chassis

Derived from the Daytona 675, the chassis gives supreme agility and feedback. Handling will give you confidence whether you’re new to bikes or pushing hard on the track.

Exhaust System

Echoing the style of the iconic Speed Triple the twin-level oval section exhaust pipes enhance the engine’s distinctive and addictive roar.

Handlebars

Wide, easy to reach handlebars give a comfortable riding position.

Brakes

Braking power is at the top of its class thanks to the Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads.
