Triumph Street Triple 765 upgrades
The 765 triple is the engine Moto2 runs, sold in a naked you can commute on — the default 'one bike that does everything' of its class. Its mod scene mirrors that split personality: tail tidy and protection for the street, and a genuine supersport-grade track build hiding under the flyscreen.
Spec plate & generations

Generation map
- 765 S / R / RS2017–2019
Launch of the 765 (Daytona 675 lineage, bored and stroked). RS: ~121 hp claimed, Brembo M50s with MCS master, Öhlins STX40 shock, up-only quickshifter. S and R trims run softer suspension and brakes — listings are trim-specific.
- 2020 update2020–2022
Euro5 engine work with a claimed mid-range bump, restyled bodywork and lights, and the RS gains an up/down quickshifter as standard. US lineup narrows to R and RS.
- 2023 update2023–present
Biggest revision yet: ~128 hp claimed on the RS via new cams and compression, Brembo Stylemas, cornering ABS/TC, 5-inch TFT, quickshifter standard across the range, plus the clip-on-equipped Moto2 Edition. 2026 adds RX and Moto2 specials. Bodywork and headers split here.
Street path & track path
Two ordered sequences for the same machine. The order is the advice: spend where the next problem is, not where the catalog is loudest.
Street path
Tail tidy
The stock hanger is the size of a mudflap. Evotech Performance is the UK Triumph staple; TST and New Rage cover the US side with integrated tail lights and flush signals.
Protection
Frame sliders, engine case covers (GB Racing lists the 765) and bar-end weights — nakeds fall on bars and cases. Evotech and R&G radiator guards are a popular add; the radiator sits exposed.
Slip-on
Arrow builds Triumph's official accessory exhausts, so fitment and mapping are already sorted — the low-mount Arrow is the community default. SC-Project S1 for the tucked GP look.
Cockpit
Shorty levers (ASV/CRG fit by gen), grips, bar-end mirrors, and a flyscreen or touring screen (Puig) if you ride distance.
Map it
TuneECU — the Triumph community's long-running tool — covers many triples for custom maps; verify support for your exact year and ECU before buying cables. Otherwise it's a dealer flash with the Arrow map.
Suspension by trim
R owners: the rear shock is the upgrade (Nitron, K-Tech, Öhlins). RS owners: your Öhlins STX40 mostly needs springs and sag set for your weight, not replacement.
Track path
Tires and tank grips
Supercorsa SP/Q5-class rubber on the stock 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 sizes plus Stompgrip/TechSpec — the wide bar makes body-lock grip pads work harder for you.
Brake consumables
Race pads, braided lines, fresh fluid, lever guard. RS hardware (M50s, Stylemas from 2023) is already track-grade; R-model M4.32s respond to the same treatment.
Spring for your weight
Fork springs and shock spring matched to you, then valving with your trackside tuner. The stock RS setup is street-plush at track pace.
Ergonomics
Rearsets (Gilles, Woodcraft, Bonamici list the 765) buy cornering clearance the stock pegs give up early. Clip-on conversions exist — the Moto2 Edition proves the concept — but need triple-clamp work; they're not a bolt-on.
Crash-ready
GB Racing covers, axle sliders, and a belly pan if your org requires fluid catch for race classes. Naked race bodywork is niche but flyscreen/belly kits exist per generation.
Full system, map, gearing
Full exhaust with a proper map, then -1/+2 style gearing with a 520 kit for tight tracks. The triple's midrange means gearing changes hit harder here than on an inline-four.
Parts notes for the Striple
What fits and what the community runs, category by category. Typical street prices sit at the other end of the links.
Exhaust
Arrow makes the exhausts Triumph sells over the parts counter, which makes it the no-drama pick — dealer maps exist for them. SC-Project and Akrapovič cover the premium ladder. Full systems split at 2023 (new headers); slip-on fitment often spans more years but verify per listing.
Some links may earn Unstocked a commission at no cost to you. Prices shown are typical street prices — always verify fitment and price at the retailer. Model-specific parts (exhausts, rearsets, bodywork) can run 2–3× between platforms — the sheet shows a typical figure.
Tune
TuneECU is the community's tool for Triumph mapping — cheap, deep, and DIY, but year support varies; confirm your ECU is covered before buying a cable. Dealer flashes pair factory maps with accessory exhausts.

Suspension
Trim decides the plan: R = Showa SFF fork and a basic shock (shock first — Nitron/K-Tech/Öhlins all list it); RS = Showa BPF + Öhlins STX40 (springs and setup, not replacement). Listings are trim-specific.

Brakes
RS ran Brembo M50s with an MCS master (2017–22) and moved to Stylemas in 2023; R uses M4.32s. All of them want pads, braided lines and fluid before any hardware talk.

Levers
ASV and CRG list the 765; note the RS's MCS master changes lever fitment vs the R on some years. Lever guards for track days.

Crash Protection
Frame sliders, GB Racing case covers, radiator guard, bar-end weights. The exposed radiator and wide bars are the two things that hit first — cover both.

Tail Tidy & Billet
The signature first mod. Evotech Performance owns the UK/Triumph niche; TST and New Rage cover integrated-light kits. Fitment splits with each styling revision — 2017–19, 2020–22 and 2023+ tails differ.

Bodywork
Naked-bike reality: a Puig or Triumph flyscreen takes the worst chest blast off highway speeds but no screen makes it a tourer. Fitment follows the 2017/2020/2023 styling splits.

Quickshifter
Know your year: 2017–19 RS = up-only Shift Assist; 2020+ RS = up/down standard; 2023 = standard range-wide. Earlier R/S owners can add the OEM kit or a Healtech/Annitori unit.

Drivetrain
The triple loves gearing: a one-tooth-down front or two-up rear transforms tight-road and track response. 520 conversion kits (Vortex/EK, Renthal sprockets) are catalogued for the 765.

Gotchas & fitment traps
The year splits and part quirks that eat money on this platform.
Cross-model interchange
Community-reported. Paddock folk knowledge, not manufacturer fitment data. Verify part numbers for your exact year and market before spending.
- The Daytona Moto2 765 (2020 limited run) shares the engine — community-reported crossover on engine covers, clutch and engine-adjacent parts; its supersport chassis and bodywork share nothing with the naked.
- Controls and levers are community-reported to carry across 765 revisions more reliably than bodywork — but the 2023 dash/switchgear changes broke some accessory fitments; verify per part.
- Daytona 660 and Trident 660 are a different engine family despite the badge kinship — community consensus: no meaningful parts crossover with the 765.
Triumph Street Triple 765 FAQ
Which Street Triple 765 has the up/down quickshifter?
RS models from 2020 on have it standard; 2017–19 RS bikes shift up-only. From 2023 the up/down shifter is standard across the range. Earlier R and S trims can retrofit the OEM kit or an aftermarket unit.
Will 2020–22 parts fit a 2023 Street Triple?
Engine-adjacent and many chassis parts, often yes; bodywork, headlight-area parts, tail tidies and full-system exhausts, no — 2023 changed the styling and headers. Check each listing for explicit 2023+ fitment.
Is the R or RS the better base for modding?
The R is the value build: cheaper entry, and the money you save funds a shock and brake pads that close most of the gap. The RS is the better turnkey track platform — Öhlins rear, better Brembos and the quickshifter are mods you don't have to buy.
Does a Street Triple slip-on need a tune?
The Arrow accessory slip-ons run fine with the factory or dealer-loaded map. Full systems and decat setups want proper mapping — TuneECU or a dealer flash — to run clean and avoid a lean midrange.
Can the Street Triple 765 be a real track bike?
Yes — it shares its engine class with Moto2 and the RS ships with track-grade brakes and rear suspension. Springs for your weight, race pads, tires and rearsets get it to fast-group pace; the Moto2 Edition shows how far the platform stretches.
