Street Triple S comes to B'luru

British motorcycling giant Triumph has rode in its new 2017 Street Triple S to Bengaluru, at a price of Rs 868,910 (ex-showroom Bengaluru). Developed from the celebrated race bred ‘Daytona’ engine, the new 765 cc Street Triple engine delivers a major step up in power and torque. The model come with its own unique engine set-up, ECU and tune, tailored to deliver the character, power and performance best suited to the bike’s style of ride and rider.

The ‘S’ tune provides more peak power than the previous generation with 113PS @ 11,250rpm and delivers peak torque at 73Nm @ 10,421rpm.

There are riding modes on the Street Triple S which help the rider better harness the increased power and torque in every riding condition. A richer sound track, from a lighter, free flowing exhaust and revised air box delivers an intoxicating and more distinctive induction howl. Stronger-than-ever acceleration and slicker gear changes are achieved through a combination ofrevised gearbox geometry and shorter 1st and 2nd gear ratios.

For a crisper, more precise and more accurate throttle response, and linked to the ride-by-wire system, the Street Triple S features two new riding modes — which adjust throttle response, ABS and traction control settings — Road and Rain. On the Street Triple S, traction control settings can be managed via the instrument menu, by selecting ‘road’ or ‘rain’ riding modes, each with a dedicated level of traction control built in. A Quickshifter can be added as an accessory option on the bike, allowing for clutchless upshifts that are up to 2.5 times quicker than a skilled rider using a standard clutch upshift.

Triumph Motorcycles India Managing Director Vimal Sumbly commented, “People in Bengaluru love to ride and I am seeing more and more young people going for their first superbike, rather than a sedan.”
