The 2020 Triumph Street Triple R gets the new twin-pod LED headlamps differentiating it from the predecessor. The model also gets the distinctive new LED daytime running lights, redesigned tank shrouds and a reworked tail section, all of which offer a fresh look to the motorcycle. There are new graphics and paint options on the R to differentiate it from the Street Triple RS in the line-up. Furthermore, the Street Triple R is also 2 kg heavier in comparison to its more powerful alternative.

The Triumph Street Triple R is the slightly more affordable variant in the Street Triple family

The Triumph Street Triple R uses the same 765 cc, in-line three-cylinder engine as the RS but in a lower state of tune. The R develops 116 bhp as opposed to 121 bhp on the RS, while peak torque stands at 77 Nm instead of 79 Nm. The 6-speed gearbox has been carried over. The Street Triple R street-fighter gets a slightly different rake and trail as well. The model also misses out on some of the fancy equipment like the TFT instrument console available on the RS version. The R gets a part-digital instrument cluster instead. Braking performance on the R comes from the Brembo M4.32 four-piston monobloc calipers with 310 mm front disc brakes. The RS uses the M50 calipers instead.
