2026 Triumph Street Triple RX and Moto2 first look

Nov 18, 2025

For several years, the Street Triple was Triumph's best-selling model, and one way it racked up those big numbers — apart from its all-around goodness — was offering multiple flavors for riders of varying tastes and needs.

Someone on a budget who wanted a modern ride for weekday commuting that was still plenty sporty enough for weekend fun rides might choose the base model. A rider doing multiple track days a year might spring for a higher spec version with additional ride modes. Those seeking a certain style or exclusivity could opt for the RX version that was around a few years or the limited-run Moto2 edition paying tribute to Triumph's role as engine supplier to that world championship.

Now that Triumph has introduced the Trident 800, the Street Triple line is free to pursue its sportier side. The Trident can now fill the slot for riders who want a middleweight for street duty but have no plans for track days or for those who never got comfortable with the Street Triple's evolving looks and have spent the last decade-plus complaining that its headlights aren't round. So while previously the Street Triple RS was the sportier member of the family, now it gets two siblings for 2026 that are even higher spec.

The 2026 Street Triple RX brings back that spicy suffix to the Striple line, while the 2026 Street Triple Moto2 is another limited-edition model that leverages Triumph's role as engine supplier to the Moto2 world championship series. Both are identical mechanically, with Triumph claiming 128.2 horsepower at 12,000 rpm and a wet weight of 414.5 pounds. Both get a fully adjustable Öhlins NIX30 fork, instead of the previous Showa front suspension, to match the Öhlins rear shock.

Both models also carry on the full set of electronic rider aids, with five ride modes, including one optimized for the track and one that can be customized by the rider, as well as cornering ABS and cornering traction control. There's also a bidirectional quickshifter.

Triumph built a Street Triple RX a decade ago, with sportier styling, and earlier this year it introduced the Speed Triple RX, with clip-ons and carbon fiber bits and semi-active suspension, making it the highest performing entry in the Speed Triple line. The same RX formula now applies to the Street Triple, with clip-ons instead of a traditional handlebar and a sleek tail section to go with the uprated suspension.

Triumph has been supplying race-prepped 765 engines for the Moto2 series since 2019 and the company noted that those engines have now run more than a million miles in race conditions. The 2026 Street Triple Moto2, like the Moto2 street motorcycles before it, highlights that racing connection. While the Moto2 is the same mechanically as the RX, it adds an element of exclusivity because it will be limited to 1,000 numbered units worldwide. It gets a few carbon fiber bits and a lot of Moto2 branding, along with its numbered top triple clamp and unique paint.

The RX will be available in dealerships in North America in December and the Moto2 arrives next spring. See pricing and details in the specifications below.
