Triumph Motorcycles has confirmed via its social media channels that the 2020 Street Triple R will be launched in India on 11 August 2020. The Indian arm of the British two-wheeler brand has posted a teaser video of the upcoming motorcycle ahead of its launch.
The 2020 iteration of the motorcycle packs updated styling and motor. The 2020 Street Triple R comes with aggressively-styled twin-pod LED headlamps with LED DRLs, redesigned tank shrouds and a sleeker tail section.
The motorcycle is powered by a 765cc, inline three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that makes 116bhp of maximum power and 77Nm of peak torque. In comparison, the flagship Street Triple model makes 121.36bhp and 77Nm from the same motor.
As reported earlier, several dealerships across the country have already commenced the pre-bookings for the motorcycle. The Street Triple R will sit below the Street Triple RS, and compete against the likes of BMW F 900 R, Yamaha MT-09, Kawasaki Z900, KTM 790 Duke, and Ducati Monster 821 in the Indian market. The upcoming motorcycle is expected to arrive near the Rs 8.5 lakh price tag.
