Triumph’s new motorcycle: out-of-this-world looks, even wilder performance

Show summary Hide summary

Triumph has taken its racing pedigree from the paddock to the street with a striking new take on the Street Triple. The limited-run Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition brings race-bred components, bold styling and track-focused ergonomics to a naked bike built for both road and circuit.

Why Moto2 heritage changes the game for Triumph

Triumph supplies engines to the FIM Moto2 World Championship. That partnership isn’t just marketing. It feeds real performance data and development back to production models.

The result is an engine and chassis package refined by race teams and engineers. The Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition translates that work into gear you can buy off the showroom floor.

Limited-run styling that screams performance

This edition is designed to stand out without shouting. Subtle race cues are paired with purpose-built carbon parts.

  • Limited to 1,000 units worldwide, making it a collector’s piece for riders.
  • Only 150 for the U.S. and 15 for Canada, tightening exclusivity.
  • Special cosmetics include a numbered billet-machined top yoke and a Moto2-embossed seat.
  • Lightweight carbon fiber covers the side panels, front mudguard, belly pan and silencer end cap.

The colorway mixes Mineral Grey and Crystal White with a pop of Triumph Performance Yellow on the rear subframe and wheel stripe. Branding is tasteful: expect laser etching on the silencer and a Moto2 start-up screen on the TFT display.

Engine and performance figures tuned by racing

At the heart of the bike sits a 765cc, liquid-cooled inline three.

  • Power: 128 hp at 12,000 rpm.
  • Torque: 59 lb-ft at 9,500 rpm.
  • Throttle response is sharpened for brisk acceleration and immediate feedback.

These are not hypothetical improvements. Triumph’s Moto2 engines have helped riders set lap records, hit very high top speeds, and log millions of race miles. That experience informs tuning and component selection for the Street Triple.

Brakes, tires and electronic aids built for fast riding

The Moto2 Edition dresses mechanical performance in high-spec hardware.

  • Brembo brakes offer strong, predictable stopping force.
  • Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tires provide track-capable grip on the road.
  • Advanced rider aids include Optimized Cornering ABS, Traction Control and ABS Track mode.
  • Triumph Shift Assist enables clutchless up-and-down shifts for smoother lap work.

Together, these systems let a skilled rider exploit the bike’s output while preserving safety margins during hard braking and aggressive cornering.

Suspension and ergonomics tuned for the track

Two upgrades set the Moto2 Edition apart from lesser Street Triples.

  • Öhlins NIX30 front forks with adjustable compression and rebound damping, preload adjustability and roughly 4.5 inches of travel.
  • Sport clip-on handlebars that change rider position and encourage a more aggressive stance.

Those changes sharpen turn-in, improve feedback and position the rider for better weight distribution at speed. The bike behaves more like a race machine without being a full-on track-only special.

What’s included in the package

  • Carbon bodywork elements for weight savings and race looks.
  • Individually numbered components to emphasize exclusivity.
  • Moto2-branded TFT screen and subtle livery cues.
  • High-end brakes, tires and track-capable electronics as standard.

These features make the Moto2 Edition useful on a variety of rides, from canyon blasts to track days.

When you can buy one and what it costs

Triumph will launch the 2026 Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition in March 2026. U.S. pricing starts at $16,495.

Given the tight allocation and high-spec kit, expect demand to outpace supply. For buyers who want a road-legal motorcycle with a clear racing pedigree, this edition is purpose-built.
