When Triumph introduced the updated Street Triple for the 2017 model-year, it brought in an all-new engine along with the already potent naked sportbike. Indeed, the 765cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, inline-three-cylinder engine was an evolution of the 675cc which first debuted in 2007. But it proved to be so much more than just an advancement of the old engine.
Indeed, from the 2019 race season up until the present day, Triumph’s 765cc triple has been powering all the racing machines on the Moto2 grid. Proving to be a reliable and powerful engine both on the street and on the track, this engine continues to be a mainstay in Triumph’s lineup, powering the current generation of the Street Triple. That being said, Triumph’s engine will continue to power Moto2 machines until 2029, as Dorna has just announced the extension of Triumph’s contract as the sole engine supplier of the Moto2 series.
