Triumph Street Triple Rx Special Edition
The highest-spec variant of Triumph’s Street Triple R, the new Special Edition Street Triple Rx gets unique visual features include a sharp rear profile, a new Aluminium Silver paint scheme and revised graphics.
The angular seat unit is transplanted from the Daytona, further emphasizing the Street Triple’s already aggressive stance accented by the new Matt Silver paint and deep Diablo Red details, complimented by the striking hand painted finish on the front and rear lightweight race inspired wheels.
Triumph’s seat cowl, belly pan and fly screen complete the aesthetics to round off the purposeful intent of the Rx.
At the heart of the Street Triple RX is Triumph’s signature triple engine. The 675cc, 12-valve unit is derived from the Triumph Daytona 675 sportsbike, but is carefully retuned to deliver a punchy 106PS and magnificently linear 68Nm of torque.
Combined with a slick, close-ratio six-speed gearbox, Triumph’s quickshifter and great throttle control, the powerplant delivers an exhilarating ride. All accompanied by a soulful, characteristic growling exhaust note, one of the most distinctive and charismatic sounds in motorcycling.
The riding position spreads rider effort perfectly between its tapered flat bars, sculpted seat and slightly rear-set alloy footpegs, to deliver omfort and control.
The refined chassis and dynamic balance features a distinctive eight-piece, aluminium twin spar frame and two-piece die cast rear subframe, mated to 41mm KYB inverted front forks fully adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping, giving complete freedom to set the front end up to suit riding styles and conditions, and that can be easily configured to suit track or road riding.
Braking from twin 310mm floating discs is assisted by a sophisticated, standard-fitment anti-lock brake system, with the option to be switched off if required.
A low-slung stainless steel exhaust minimises the effect of the already minimal weight.
Comprehensive LCD digital instrumentation includes a built-in lap timer, programmable gear shift lights, fuel gauge, clock and gear position indicator, as well as a large, clear tachometer and digital speedo. The clocks can also display front and rear tyre pressures when the optional Triumph Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is fitted.
Street Triple RX will be available in Triumph dealerships from Feb/March 2015 at a price To Be Confirmed.
