I was heartbroken to hear that Triumph will discontinue the Street Triple R, and simultaneously wondered how it would fill its middleweight naked lineup. Now, we know that the Trident 800 will essentially take the Street Triple R's place, but now that the Brand has announced the Street Triple 765 RX and Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition, its sporty middleweight offerings are clear and complete.
The Street Triple RS was always the Street Triple to take to the track, and it doesn't appear to have become any less capable. But for 2026, there'll be two other options that are much more suited to track work, starting with the Street Triple 765 RX.
Triumph brought the RX moniker back to life earlier this year with the Speed Triple RX, and now it's bringing it back to the Street Triple, which was last slapped with RX paintwork in 2016. Although this model pays homage to its predecessor, being an RX in 2026 looks very different from how it was in 2016. The RX features a series of exclusive design details, including a precision-machined upper yoke,
a laser-etched RX logo on the exhaust, and a bespoke RX-branded seat.
