2026 Triumph Street Triple 765 RX — Is This the Best Middleweight Yet?

The Triumph Street Triple 765 RX makes its debut as a focused, aggressive evolution of Triumph’s middleweight platform, but it still feels familiar enough that riders will instantly recognize what made the 765 series so successful. What Triumph has done with the RX is refine the attitude of the Street Triple and turn it into a machine that feels ready for fast canyon runs or spirited track days, even straight from the dealership floor. The clip-on handlebars, the compact tail section, and the premium suspension transform the bike into something that feels sharper and more connected to the rider.

The 765 cubic centimeter inline three cylinder engine remains one of the most engaging powerplants in the segment. It pulls cleanly from low rpm, surges through the midrange, and finishes with a strong rush toward its 12,000 rpm peak power figure of 130 PS. Triumph has given this special edition the same engineering upgrades found on the latest RS, meaning you get quicker throttle response, a more efficient intake system, and improved gearing for both street performance and track consistency.

Where the RX really stands apart is in feel. The Öhlins NIX30 front fork and Öhlins STX40 rear shock deliver the support and precision that riders expect from a bike inspired by Triumph’s Moto2 involvement. Combined with the Brembo Stylema front calipers, the RX feels confident and planted, even when you are pushing through a series of tight bends. The ergonomics are more aggressive thanks to the clip-on bars, bringing the rider into a slightly forward position that increases front end feedback without making everyday riding uncomfortable.

The styling also gives the RX its own identity. The Matt Aluminium Silver paint, matched with the Diablo Red subframe and wheels, makes it stand out instantly. The laser-etched branding on the yoke and silencer, along with the RX-specific seat, reminds you that this is not an ordinary Street Triple. It is a one year only special edition meant to bring something extra to Triumph’s lineup, and it shows in every detail.

For riders who want the thrill of a track inspired setup without stepping into a full supersport motorcycle, the Street Triple 765 RX feels like the perfect middle ground. It is balanced, expressive, and built for riders who want to feel connected to the bike every second they are on it.
