2010 Triumph Street Triple
  
A global hit since its introduction
for 2008, the Street Triple fuses the style and attitude
of the iconic Speed Triple with the performance and
agility of the class leading Daytona 675 supersports
machine. The result is a truly impressive
middleweight streetfighter that has attained critical
success around the world.
The Daytona 675 derived triple packs
a powerful punch of 106PS peak power delivered at
11,700rpm, complemented by incredibly strong low and
midrange performance. The Daytona 675’s engine
was designed to be seen from the outset
so the clean and simple lines compliment the Street
Triple perfectly.
The Street Triple’s aluminium
frame also comes directly from the Daytona and was
specifically designed to take advantage of the narrow
three-cylinder engine design. Rake is set at 24.3°,
with 95.3mm (3.75in) trail. The wheelbase is 1,395mm
(54.9in), while dry weight is 167kg (367lbs). Braking
power is at the top of its class thanks to the Nissin
twin-piston calipers with sintered pads.
The low dual seat and wide handlebars
provide a comfortable riding position for both rider
and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter
styling of the bike. Many of the styling cues come
straight from the bigger Speed Triple,
such as the upside-down forks and the distinctive
bug-eyed headlamps.
For 2010 the Street Triple features
a host of refinements to make the riding experience
even more pleasurable. These include a lighter weight
rear wheel and rear sprocket, which shaves around
a kilogram from the unsprung weight, recalibrated
EFI for smoother throttle response at lower speeds
and revised instruments for easier use and a fresh
new look.
The Triumph Street Triple is available
in three colour options: Phantom Black, Fusion White
and, new for 2010, Tornado Red. As with all Triumph
motorcycles, a full range of genuine accessories is
available for the Street Triple, including a
range of practical and stylish fly screens and performance
exhaust options developed in collaboration with Italian
performance house Arrow Special Parts.
