The 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS has been launched in India with prices at Rs. 11.13 lakh (Ex-showroom). The new Street Triple RS gets updated to meet new emission regulations, both in Europe, as well as the BS6 (Bharat Stage VI) emission norms here in India, and minor cosmetic updates as well. While the engine has been updated, it has been done so with learnings from Triumph's experience in the Moto2 class, where it is the single engine provider, with the 765 cc, triple engine. The new Street Triple's engine has in essence been derived from the 765 cc Moto2 engine. Triumph India will only offer the top-spec Street Triple RS on sale in India, and the base variant Street Triple S has been discontinued.
