Highly regarded for its light and intuitive handling, the 2013 Street Triple R takes things to a whole new level. Its 41mm inverted front forks are fully adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping to give the expert rider freedom to set the motorcycle up for their specific needs. The rear monoshock is an equally high-quality item, adjustable for preload and rebound damping. Switchable state-of-the-art Anti-Lock Brakes are standard, allowing the rider to easily select the preferred method to deploy the twin 310mm floating front discs and powerful four-piston Nissin radial calipers. Altogether the package offers a setup that can be configured to suit track or road riding, while at the same time providing the security of incredible stopping power. A revised geometry of 23.4o / 95.0mm completes the picture. Visually, the R model adds a red rear subframe, red pinstripe to the wheels and a red-detailed radiator shroud featuring a dominant R logo. Three color options are available for the new Street Triple R in 2013: Phantom Black, Crystal White and Matte Graphite.
