2020 Triumph Street Triple RS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Triumph's naked motorcycle platform, the 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS pairs a 765 cc (46.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 123 HP (89.8 kW) at 11,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 79 Nm (58.3 lb-ft) at 11,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 160.8 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Street Triple RS measures 166 kg (366 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.74 HP/kg (1.35 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.4-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 335 km (208 miles) between fill-ups.
