To add luster to its participation as a motorcycle supplier to Moto2, Triumph has released a limited Moto2 Edition of the Street Triple RS completely redesigned for 2023. According to the British, the Street Triple RS Moto2 Edition is the most extreme Street Triple ever.
Where a different color and a touch of carbon would have been more than enough for many brands, Triumph has taken a much more thorough approach to developing the Moto2 Edition of the 2023 Street Triple RS. Although the large amount of carbon and the unique color scheme immediately distinguish it visually from the regular RS.
You’ll immediately notice that the Street Triple RS Moto2 Edition is the most extreme, track-oriented of the Street Triple family. The Moto2 Edition has no handlebars, but clip-ons that run up along the triple clamp, which are placed 80 mm lower and 50 mm further forward than the handlebars of the RS.
In combination with the 3 mm higher saddle height of now 839 mm, this will undoubtedly have resulted in a significantly sportier sitting position, exactly what you want when you go on the track. Combined with the fully adjustable Öhlins NIX30 fork, that must have made the front feel even better.
In addition to using clip-ons and the Öhlins fork, Triumph has also made the geometry just a little bit sportier, with a 2mm shorter wheelbase (1,397mm), slightly steeper head angle (23.0°) and slightly shorter trail (95.3). mm). All that together must have made the Street Triple RS Moto2 Edition the most extreme Street Triple experience.
The Street Triple RS Moto2 Edition is produced in a limited edition of just 765 units, for the price tag of €17,995. With our southern neighbors ‘only’ 15,595 needs to be tapped.
