Motorcycle specifications Triumph900 Street Twin 2019 Dose of tonus under the jacket

Triumph has managed the development of its roadster ranges perfectly. Its? Yes, on the one hand the modern 'Roadsters', full of spirit and nerve - and on the other the 'Modern Classics', eager to tickle the nostalgic mood and/or bring the style of yesteryear with the benefits of modernity. In this family, it all starts with the 900 Street Twin. A little Bonneville with a light, playful, urban temperament.

This machine loves to go for a ride, to look good on the streets or on the main roads. But its twin-cylinder engine sometimes wanted to be more at ease, more ample when the rider's mind opened to wandering. Certainly, the 1200 Bonneville has the trunk for it. But did the Street Twin have to suffer any longer?

Not any more. The parallel twin emancipates itself by showing an impressive increase in power. Thanks to an increased compression ratio, higher engine speed, lighter crankshaft, fixed shafts and crankshaft balancer shafts, 10 horsepower have been added to the 55 already present. This represents an 18% increase over the previous Street Twin - which had already gained 18% torque since the 865 Bonneville.
This comes at a price, and we'll be looking for it at higher revs. The British bike has more watts, but its power and torque peaks are perched higher up the rev range. Pulling power preserves its 8.2 mkg, as long as you go for it with 600 rpm more, at 3,800 rpm. So you'll provoke it a little more, with the satisfaction of more pronounced momentum and increased performance. Which opens up new horizons. Technical modifications include a weight-optimized clutch housing and a new, lighter clutch

yesterday's Street Twin braked well, but nothing more. The clutch did the job, in keeping with the machine's temperament. Now that there's more spittle coming out of the connecting rods, an improvement in the braking system will not be a luxury. Triumph opts for a 4-piston Brembo caliper to replace the 2-piston Nissin, still on a 310 mm disc. Both bite and efficiency should go up a notch, with a superior feel. The rear retains its Nissin 2-piston unit with a 255 mm disc.
No changes to frame, shocks, swingarm or geometry. Just a touch-up to the fork internals for greater efficiency. The Street isn't really aiming to become a road bike; it's just trying to increase the fun factor.

And to start with, a good seat is just what you need. With 10 mm more foam, the crew should feel less the dryness of our roads. You'll enjoy a natural, relaxed riding position, designed for riding to the rhythm of the twin's regular honk.
To the beat or to the rhythm? The question can now be asked, given the presence of the little Mode button on the left-hand commodo. What does it do? The Street Twin already had ABS, disconnectable traction control, ride-by-wire... What does it have to envy its big sister? Yes, the riding modes. The engine temperament can be tightened in 'Road' or loosened in 'Rain', to bring out the gas in a variety of ways. Each mode adapts the mapping and traction control settings.

Shall we have another look at this evolution? Mmmhmm... No need. We'll just go over a few things. A slightly classier brake fluid reservoir, a new seat cover, an openwork skid plate from the Street Cup on the left-hand sump, very slightly redesigned airbox panels, a summarily revised speedometer, and new, chunkier rims with machined stick sides. A discerning eye will be needed to spot the changes to the headlight mounts and tank badge.

LED taillights, USB socket and coded immobilizer are still standard. The options section now includes the TPMS tire monitoring system, alongside 140 accessories for customizing this Street Twin.
On theold model, 3 kits were available to lift its personality: the 'Scrambler', the 'Brat Tracker' and the 'Urban'. The new collection has been reduced to 2 packs.
- The 'Urban Ride' kit:

Even more uncluttered urban styling with
/ A brown café racer-style padded seat
/ A black oil pan kit
/ Mudguard removal kit
/ Black machined oil filler cap
/ Black intake scoops
/ Black waxed cotton pannier
/ LED indicators

- The 'Café Custom' kit:

With a contemporary urban sensibility, this more up-to-date reinterpretation of the "old school" café racer includes:
/ Fox rear suspension combo
/ Vance & Hines mufflers
/ Rear fender delete kit
/ LED indicators
/ Machined black oil filler cap
/ Black intake scoops

A nice little update for the Triumph 900 Street Twin, with fine-tuned details, enriched electronics and, above all, an increase in engine power to 65 hp. Also available as an A2, this bike is a great way to discover the British Classic. All that remains is a not-so-democratic price tag.
