In 2008, a year after the release of the much-loved Daytona 675, Triumph debuted the Street Triple, a middleweight naked designed to slot beneath the Speed Triple, Hinckley’s iconic, brand-defining streetfighter. Powered by the same 675cc three-cylinder engine as its supersport donor, the Street Triple has since become a mainstay in Triumph’s lineup. Now displacing 765cc and comprising three trim levels, the Street Triple 765 line embodies the bug-eyed styling and performance-oriented ethos that have long made three-cylinder nakeds from Hinckley the choice of hooligans, canyon carvers, and urban commuters.
For 2024, the Street Triple 765 lineup was heavily revised. Major updates to the engine included machined-from-billet pistons, stronger connecting rods and wrist pins, and optimized combustion chambers. Higher-lift cams, a hotter compression ratio (upped from 12.7:1 to 13.3:1), a revised transmission, and a new freer-flowing exhaust round out the changes. It also received updated cornering ABS and traction control, wider handlebars, and revised styling. IMU-managed rider aids are selectable via four ride modes on the R model and five modes on the RS and Moto2 models. Our testers love that the Street Triple 765 is such a well-balanced package, offering excellent sporting performance while being practical and affordable.
For 2025, the Street Triple is available in three versions: the R (from $10,945), the RS (from $12,995), and the Moto2 Edition (from $15,395). The R’s engine is tuned for a claimed 118 hp, and uses Showa suspension at each end and Brembo M4.32 calipers upfront. The RS gets a racier tune that produces a claimed 128 hp, upgraded Brembo Stylema front brake calipers, an Öhlins STX 40 shock, an additional ride mode, and a TFT display. The Moto2 Edition is essentially an RS that has an Öhlins NIX 30 fork and carbon fiber bodywork. The Street Triple R is also available in a Low version, which drops the seat height by 45mm (1.8 inches).
