Good news for fans of the Street Triple R! Triumph Motorcycles has announced significant price reductions for the middleweight naked streetfighter in India.
More Affordable Street Triple R
The Pure White and Silver Ice color options for the Street Triple R see the biggest price drop, now starting at Rs. 9.95 lakh, a substantial Rs. 48,000 reduction from their previous price tag. The Matt Baja Orange and Crystal White variants also benefit from a price cut of Rs. 22,000, bringing their starting price down to Rs. 10.21 lakh (all prices ex-showroom).
Price Hike for Street Triple RS
However, for those considering the higher-spec Street Triple RS, there’s a change in the opposite direction. The Phantom Black, Carnival Red, and Cosmic Yellow color options now carry a price tag of Rs. 12.21 lakh, reflecting a Rs. 14,000 increase. The Silver Ice color scheme for the RS is the only one to see a price reduction, now priced at Rs. 11.95 lakh, a decrease of Rs. 12,000.
Maintaining Performance Variations
Despite the price adjustments, the core differences between the Street Triple R and RS remain. The RS boasts a more powerful 765cc, inline-triple engine that produces 128.2 bhp compared to the R’s 118.4 bhp. Both bikes share the same 80 Nm torque figure and utilize a six-speed gearbox with a quick shifter.
Hardware Differences
The motorcycles also have distinct hardware specifications. The RS features a slightly more premium suspension setup with Showa Big Piston USD forks and an Ohlins monoshock, while the R uses Showa Separate Function forks and a Showa monoshock. Both options offer full adjustability. Braking performance differs as well, with the RS utilizing higher-spec Brembo Stylema calipers compared to the Brembo M4.32 calipers on the R. Additionally, the R and RS come with Continental ContiRoad and Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tires, respectively.
Instrument Cluster Variations
The final differentiating factor lies in the instrumentation. The RS boasts a modern color TFT screen, while the R combines an LCD and a smaller TFT display.
This price revision offers a more attractive proposition for Street Triple R buyers, while the RS retains its premium positioning with a slight price increase.
