Triumph’s limited-edition Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition, producing 128 hp, was put through its paces at Spain’s Jerez circuit during the MotoGP weekend. The bike proved it’s more than just a tribute — it’s a track-ready machine with genuine racing DNA.
Triumph has unveiled a limited edition of its popular Street Triple 765, the Moto2 Edition, celebrating its partnership with the MotoGP World Championship. We had the chance to test the bike at the famous Jerez circuit during the MotoGP weekend, and it proved to be far more than just a standard motorcycle with special graphics.
What makes the Moto2 Edition special?
The bike is powered by a 765 cc triple-cylinder engine producing 128 hp — the same engine used in Moto2 bikes but with road-legal modifications. It features lightweight aluminum wheels, adjustable Öhlins suspension, and high-performance Brembo brakes.
How did it perform on the Jerez circuit?
On the Spanish track, the bike showed a brilliant balance of power and control. Fast corners were easy thanks to the light chassis and sporty suspension. The engine responds quickly with the distinctive triple-cylinder sound, and the smooth gearbox makes shifting enjoyable.
Track performance
The bike achieved 0-100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 240 km/h. The Brembo braking system provides immense stopping power, giving confidence when entering corners at speed.
What are the limited-edition specs?
Limited to just 765 units worldwide, the bike features a special paint scheme inspired by Moto2 machines, exclusive logos, and a serial number on the handlebar. It also includes advanced electronics: traction control, riding modes, and a quickshifter.
How much will it cost in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
The local distributor has not announced an official price yet, but based on the global price of approximately USD 13,500, it is expected to range between SAR 50,000 and 55,000 (including taxes and fees) in Saudi Arabia. In the UAE, expect a similar price range in AED. Contact your local dealer for exact pricing and availability.
Does it compete with other bikes in its class?
The Moto2 Edition competes with bikes like the KTM 890 Duke R and Yamaha MT-09 SP. What sets it apart is the experience derived from Moto2 racing, giving it an authentic sporting character. However, the higher price may be a barrier for some.
When will it arrive in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
The first batch is expected to reach Triumph dealers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE during the third quarter of 2024. Due to the limited production run, early booking is recommended to secure one.
Verdict: Is it worth buying?
The Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition is an engineering masterpiece for racing enthusiasts. It delivers exceptional performance on track and road, with exclusive details that make it special. If you love sporty motorcycles and seek a unique riding experience, this bike is worth every riyal.
