2018 Triumph Street Cup Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Triumph for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2018 Triumph Street Cup pairs a 900 cc (54.9 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 55 HP (40.1 kW) at 5,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) at 3,230 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 61.1 HP per liter and a 2,670 rpm working window between peak torque (3,230 rpm) and peak power (5,900 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Street Cup measures 200 kg (441 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.64 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 749 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,415 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.11-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.87 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 313 km (194 miles) between fill-ups.
