Triumph is all geared up for the launch of the new 2023 Street Triple 765 R and Street Triple 765 RS in India tomorrow, on 16 June 2023. The launch, originally scheduled for March, was postponed by the brand. The latest model update brings a few cosmetic changes to the Street Triple twins, along with several additional features. Most notably, the streetfighters boast increased power outputs.
Triumph Street Triple 765 R and Street Triple 765 RS: Powertrain
The most significant update comes to the 765cc, inline-three, liquid-cooled DOHC engine. As a result, the Street Triple 765 R generates 120PS at 11,500rpm and 80Nm of torque at 9,500rpm, while the Street Triple 765 RS makes 130PS at 12,000rpm and 80Nm of torque at 9,500rpm. In addition, Triumph has given them a new free-flowing exhaust. In fact, gear ratios and the final drive assembly of the Street Triple R and Street Triple RS have also been reworked to enhance performance.

The 2023 Street Triple R and Street Triple RS do not come with a plethora of changes, but feature only a few styling updates. The British marque has made the Street Triple twin sportier and more aggressive than the previous model by adding a smaller and sculpted fuel tank, reshaped fuel tank extensions, a new fly screen, and a raised tail section.
The 2023 Street Triple R and Street Triple RS come with new colour schemes. The Street Triple R is available in Silver Ice and Crystal White, whereas the Street Triple RS is available in three shades: Carnival Red, Silver Ice, and Cosmic Yellow. It is likely that the India-bound models will also offer these colours.
