Triumph’s Street Triple 765 R is a Cycle World favorite and multitime Ten Best winner. Originally designed with a 675cc engine (Street Triple 675) derived from the Daytona 675, the Street Triple’s engine later grew into a 765cc inline-three. As the sole engine supplier in the Moto2 class, Triumph has a lot of RD in its inline-three platform. The 2024 Triumph Street Triple 765 R features a liquid-cooled DOHC 12-valve inline three-cylinder engine with a six-speed transmission and a slipper/assist clutch.For 2024, the Street Triple 765 lineup (R, RS, and Moto2 Edition) received a slew of engine updates including billet pistons, stronger connecting rods, new camshafts, and an increased compression ratio of 13.3:1. All three Street Triple models use the same engine and internals. The difference in power output between the base model (R) and the up-spec models (RS and Moto2) is achieved solely through ECU mapping.

Its rider-aid package was also updated for the 2024 model year. A six-axis IMU provides Optimized Cornering ABS, Switchable Cornering Traction Control, wheelie control, and four ride modes. Road, Rain, and Sport have integrated TC and ABS parameters, but Rider mode is fully customizable. Four levels of traction control are available as well as “off.” Wheelie control is integrated into the traction control and cannot be disabled independently. The Street Triple 765 R’s chassis is comprised of an aluminum twin-spar frame, a fully adjustable 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston fork, fully adjustable Showa shock, Brembo M4.32 four-piston radial-mount Monoblock calipers, and 17-inch wheels.
