– 2012 Triumph Street Triple Review

2012 Triumph Street Triple

Triumph Roadsters. Made for the street. At home on the track.

A global hit since its introduction in 2007, 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.

Updated for the 2012 model year, the Street Triple has a more contemporary look with bold new colours and graphics, stylish brushed metal finishes and aggressive new headlights shared with the bigger Speed Triple.

At the heart of the Street Triple remains a character laden version of Triumph’s unique 675cc triple, delivering 108PS and 69Nm of torque. It’s so good you’ll have trouble believing its only 675cc.

The torque and sound of the liquid cooled 12 valve triple, combined with a close ratio six speed gearbox produce an exciting, exhilarating ride that has made the Street Triple our best selling model since its launch.

With its distinct streetfighter looks and unique three-cylinder engine, the Street Triple remains incomparable. A pure Triumph.

The 2012 model will begin arriving in North American dealerships in October 2011.
