TRIUMPH UNVEILS THE NEW STREET TRIPLE!
04 July 2007 - Triumph Motorcycles Ltd

The countdown is over!

The much awaited Triumph Street Triple was officially unveiled to over 5,000 Triumph owners on Saturday, 30th June, at the Triumph Tridays in Neukirchen, Austria.

The Street Triple offers 675cc of pure, naked aggression, combining the streetfighter
styling of its older brother, the Speed Triple, with the 675cc engine, chassis and
performance of the award-winning Daytona 675. Genetically engineered by Triumph,
the Street Triple is set to become the most desirable naked middleweight motorcycle
in the market.

Packing a powerful punch, 108PS to be exact, and 69Nm of effortless torque, the
Street Triple is set to see off any naked middleweight competitor with ease, and
quite a few of the heavyweights too. The proven 675 engine delivers strong low and
midrange performance, from tickover to the redline, while the distinctive three
cylinder feel, and unmistakable sound, offer an electrifying and emotive ride.

The Street Triple’s aluminium frame and swingarm come directly from the Daytona
675, while the Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads (the same material
as used on the Daytona 675) give braking power that is top of its class. The
lightweight five-spoked wheels also come straight from the Daytona 675, with
Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier tyres fitted as standard (120/70 ZR17 front and 180/55
ZR17 rear). Approved options are the Pirelli SuperCorsa Pro and the Bridgestone
BT014 G. Lean and agile, the Street Triple is equipped with Kayaba suspension frontand rear, with rear preload adjustment, giving class leading handling.

The low dual seat and new footrests and handlebars provide a comfortable riding
position for rider and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter styling
of the bike. The headlights echo the distinctive units used on the Speed Triple, while
the comprehensive instrument console shares the same functionality as that on the
Daytona 675 but is restyled to fit neatly within the lines of the Street Triple.

Triumph’s Commercial Director, Tue Mantoni, commented, ‘The Street Triple is one
of the most important models we’ve ever brought to market, giving Triumph a strong
presence in this important segment and offering a new entry point to Triumph’s
range of sports bikes. It’s a great bike for both new and experienced riders, with
distinctive style and class leading performance in an affordable package. Reaction
from customers to the Street Triple has been fantastic and our dealers are very
much looking forward to receiving their demo bikes shortly.’

Priced at £5349 otr, the Street Triple will be available in dealers from August.
