Triumph Reveals Redesigned Street Triple 798 and Updated Tiger Models
Triumph has shown pictures of three motorcycles it is updating: the Street Triple 798, Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200.
The company has not shared all their details yet.
The Street Triple has a new 798 badge and looks substantially redesigned.
It is expected to get a bigger engine related to the one used in Moto2 racing, but its power is not confirmed.
The two Tiger bikes appear to have radar sensors at the front.
Those sensors might help the bikes keep a safe distance from traffic with adaptive cruise control.
Triumph has not said exactly what the radar will do.
The Tiger 1200 already has rear-facing radar on some versions for other kinds of rider assistance.
Triumph showed images of the Street Triple 798, Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200, while withholding their final specifications.
The Street Triple replaces its familiar 765 branding with a 798 badge and appears to have a new frame, swingarm and bodywork.
The 798 is expected to use a larger, Moto2-derived engine, but Triumph has not confirmed road-bike output or specifications.
Images of both Tiger models show forward-facing radar sensors, which may indicate adaptive cruise control.
The Tiger 1200 currently lacks radar-assisted cruise control; its top-spec Explorer models have rear-facing radar for blind-spot and lane-change assistance.
