Triumph Street Triple R Bookings Open Across Dealerships Ahead Of Launch This Month

Select Triumph Motorcycles India dealerships have started accepting bookings for the upcoming Street Triple R street-fighter, ahead of its launch later this month, carandbike can confirm. The booking amount is set at Rs. 1 lakh, depending on the dealership. The British bike maker had introduced the 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS in April this year, and the new R will come at a more affordable price point while packing slightly less sophisticated hardware and power from the same 765 cc Moto2 developed motor. The Triumph Street Triple R is scheduled to go on sale by the end of June 2020.

The 765 cc engine makes 116 bhp of power and 77 Nm of torque on the R variant

The Triumph Street Triple R is powered by the same 765 cc, in-line three-cylinder engine as the RS, but in a lower state of tune. The R develops 116 bhp as opposed to 121 bhp on the RS, while the peak torque stands at 77 Nm instead of 79 Nm. The 6-speed gearbox has been carried over. The Street Triple R street-fighter gets a slightly different rake and trail as well.

The R variant also misses out on some of the fancy hardware including the TFT instrument screen and gets a part-digital instrument console. The bike uses Brembo M4.32 four-piston monobloc calipers gripping 310 mm front discs as against the M50 calipers on the RS. The entry-level variant also weighs about 2 kg more than the performance version. That said, the model will get the headlamps from the 2020 Street Triple range complete with the signature LED daytime running lights. The colours and graphics on the bike will also be a key differentiator between the R and the RS.

The 2020 Triumph Street Triple R is expected to be priced around Rs. 9-9.5 lakh (ex-showroom), which would make it about Rs. 2 lakh cheaper than the RS version. With the previous Street Triple too, the S and the RS versions had a similar price difference and Triumph India is likely to continue maintaining the same. In fact, the Street Triple RS BS6 is set to get a price hike of around Rs. 50,000 in July 2020 that will further establish the variants for different customers. The Street Triple RS is currently priced at Rs. 11.13 lakh (ex-showroom).

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights.

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
