however, ridden many tuned/race versions of
the Street Triple and know this is something that
can be easily fixed.
On the plus side, Triumph's standard up/down
quickshifter continues to rank among the best
available on a production motorcycle. Upshifts
are smooth and immediate under hard accelera
-
tion, while clutchless downshifts remain con-
trolled and precise during aggressive braking
zones. It's a light shift, so you need to be posi-
tive in your gearshifts—if you're lazy, you'll miss
a shift and the lap time will be gone.
The biggest transformation for the RX, how-
ever, comes in the chassis package. While the
aluminum twin-spar frame architecture carries
over from the RS, Triumph has equipped the RX
with premium Öhlins suspension components
designed to elevate front-end feel and cornering
precision. Up front sits an Öhlins NIX30 setup,
while the rear receives an Öhlins STX40 piggy
-
back shock, both fully adjustable.
Compared to the RS—a light-footed and quick-
steering motorcycle in its own right—the differ
-
ence in feel to the RX is immediately noticeable.

RIDE REVIEW I 2026 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 RX
A little extra seat space would
have been helpful for a full
tuck, but ride comfort is still
exceptional on the RX.
