Triumph's New Moto2 Engine Set to Power the Next Street Triple

Triumph plans to fit its new Moto2 engine, due in 2027, into the next-generation Street Triple. Displacing roughly 800cc, it delivers 6% more peak power, stronger torque across the range, and is 2kg lighter than the current 765cc unit. Deriving a street engine from a race unit is a reversal of Triumph's usual approach, and the new bike would sit between the Street Triple R and Speed Triple 1200. Test prototypes also hint at a possible fully-faired Daytona revival.

From what I've seen trackside, hearing they're dropping a Moto2 engine straight into a street bike gives me chills. 6% more power and 2kg lighter — the numbers alone are monstrous. I can already feel that Street Triple's temper through my fingertips on the throttle, before I've even ridden it.

More power probably means insurance and running costs creep up too — that worries me.

Taking a race engine down to street use is a refreshing reversal of the usual approach.

If Daytona really comes back, Yamaha's R7 and KTM's RC8C should be genuinely worried.

2027 is pretty far out — that's a long gap between announcement and actual sale.

6% more power and 2kg lighter sounds modest, but the internals look like a major redesign.

A Moto2 engine going straight into a production bike is hype overload.

Curious how this ends up positioned next to the current Street Triple R.
