THOMPSON’S TAKE ON IT
The Triumph was another bike that’s been treated to a few tweaks for 2020, mainly in order to get it Euro5 compliant without losing too many ponies. The Hinckley lot have faffed with the motor and slapped on a new exhaust system which has increased the midrange torque by 9%, which isn’t to be sniffed at, as well as shortening first and second gears to give the thing a little bit more punch when you are firing away from the traffic lights. While they were at it, they chucked some LED lights and a smarter electronics system in, that you can connect your phone and your GoPro to (why anyone would want to do that, I don’t know), and faffed with the bodywork a real little bit, but to all intents and purposes, it’s still the Street Triple that we know and love.
