[sportrider - features] - 2015 Triumph Street Triple RX Special Edition unveiled




Triumph unveiled its new Street Triple Rx Special Edition for 2015, sporting numerous styling enhancements taken from the company's superb Daytona 675 supersport machine. First, the angular seat/tailsection from the Daytona has been transplanted onto the Street Triple Rx, with a seat cowl also coming standard, giving the bike a more aggressive profile. New Matt Silver paint on the tank and bodywork is accented by rich, deep Diablo Red detailing on the rear subframe, lightweight race-inspired wheels, and small body panels behind the radiator.

The 2015 Triumph Street Triple RX Special Edition gets the angular tailsection from company's Daytona 675 supersport machine for a more aggressive profile.





The Street Triple's signature 675cc, 12-valve, three-cylinder engine returns basically unchanged (not that it needed much improvement), with the exception that Triumph's accessory quickshifter now comes standard on the Street Triple Rx. The Street Triple's twin-beam aluminum frame, fully adjustable KYB 41mm inverted fork and rear shock, twin 310mm discs and Nissin radial-mount/four-piston calipers (with switchable ABS) all return unmolested from last year to deliver the same excellent handling that has fended off all challengers in numerous middleweight naked bike comparisons. And the same extensive range of Triumph Genuine Accessories continues to be offered for the new Street Triple Rx.

The 2015 Triumph Street Triple Rx Special Edition will retail for $11,199, and will be available in dealerships starting in February 2015.

Triumph's press release for the 2015 Street Triple RX Special Edition follows:

NEW STREET TRIPLE RX SPECIAL EDITION
  • Special edition version of Triumph’s class defining Street Triple R
  • Red rear subframe styling enhancements courtesy of the Daytona 675

  • Nissin radial 4-piston calipers with switchable ABS
  • Fully adjustable KYB forks and rear monoshock
  • Two year unlimited mileage warranty as standard
Street Triple RX

Street life doesn’t get more stimulating than this. The Street Triple Rx combines aggressive style and devilish good looks to create an extreme, eye-catching machine, borrowing inspiration from its TT and Daytona 200 winning supersport sibling, the Daytona 675R.

The highest-spec variant Triumph’s Street Triple R, its unique visual features include a new razor-sharp rear profile, a new Aluminium Silver paint scheme and revised graphics.

The angular seat unit is transplanted from the Daytona, further emphasizing the Street Triple’s already aggressive stance. The crisp lines are accented by the new Matt Silver paint and deep Diablo Red details, complimented by the striking hand painted finish on the front and rear lightweight race inspired wheels. Triumph’s seat cowl, belly pan and fly screen complete the aesthetics to round off the purposeful intent of the Rx.

At the heart of the Street Triple RX is Triumph’s signature triple engine. The 675cc, 12-valve unit is derived from the legendary Triumph Daytona 675 sportsbike, but is carefully retuned to deliver a punchy 106PS and magnificently linear 68Nm of torque for effortless drive and acceleration. Combined with a slick, close-ratio six-speed gearbox, Triumph’s quickshifter and flawless throttle control, the powerplant delivers an exhilarating ride. All accompanied by a soulful, characteristic growling exhaust note, one of the most distinctive and charismatic sounds in motorcycling.

The Street Triple Rx’s ability to satisfy anyone from novice rider to the most experienced thrill-seeker doesn’t just come from its engine. The expertly crafted riding position spreads rider effort perfectly between its tapered flat bars, sculpted seat and slightly rear-set alloy footpegs, delivering maximum comfort and control. The refined chassis and dynamic balance features a distinctive eight-piece, aluminium twin spar frame and two-piece die cast rear subframe, mated to 41mm KYB inverted front forks fully adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping, giving complete freedom to set the front end up to suit riding styles and conditions, and that can be easily configured to suit track or road riding.

Braking from twin 310mm floating discs is assisted by a sophisticated, standard-fitment anti-lock brake system, with the option to be switched off if required. A low-slung stainless steel exhaust minimizes the effect of the already minimal weight. And, together with painstakingly calibrated chassis geometry, the Street Triple Rx exudes a flowing, natural confidence in its handling, providing both stability and agility whatever the road speed or riding conditions.

Although one of the Street Triple Rx’s strengths is its elegant simplicity and practicality, it comes with a high level of equipment as standard. This includes an engine immobilizer, while further security can be found via a Triumph D lock accessory that stows under the seat.

Comprehensive LCD digital instrumentation includes a built-in lap timer, programmable gear shift lights, fuel gauge, clock and gear position indicator, as well as a large, clear tachometer and digital speedo. The clocks can also display front and rear tire pressures when the optional Triumph Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is fitted.

The Street Triple Rx fuses the style and attitude of a naked streetbike with the handling and performance of a sportsbike, with beautiful styling to complete the package. The Street Triple Rx includes an extensive range of Triumph genuine accessories that allows owners to further personalize their bike.

The new Street Triple Rx will be available in dealerships February 2015 and will be priced at $11,199. As with all Triumphs, the Street Triple Rx comes with an unlimited mileage, two year factory warranty. Service intervals are every 6000 miles, or one year, whichever comes first.

The Street Triple Rx – a true powerhouse street performer.
