2020 Triumph Street Triple R to launch soon, unofficial bookings commence
Triumph Motorcycles India is gearing up to launch the new Street Triple R soon. Sources tell HT Auto that the launch is slated for the coming week. Also, select Triumph dealers have started accepting unofficial bookings on the bike.
As the name suggests, the Street Triple R will be placed under the Street Triple RS. The latter was launched in India a few weeks back.
The new Street Triple R is a heavily updated bike against the base Street Triple S, though at the same time it misses out on some of the high-end goodies available with the latest 'RS' model.
