Triumph will unveil the Tiger 900 Rally and GT models on 3 December 2019, according to this teaser video.
It shows a new headlight and daytime running light system at the front that looks like but horns.
The only other shots of the full bike are from too far away.
However, the video ends with a link to an official page to stay informed on the bike’s release.
It includes a few photos that show the screen is adjustable, it has gold anodised forks which could be Ohlins, the Rally is obviously the off-roader and the GT is the tourer, possibly with standard luggage.
We’re not sure at this stage the 900 Rally and GT will replace the Tiger 800 to meet Euro5 emissions starting in January or if the two models will co-exist.
One thing is for sure, the naming makes a lot more sense than the XRX, XCX, XRT and XCA of the 800s.
Any name that needs explaining is a marketing disaster!
And like those limited-edition models, only 750 numbered bikes will be available worldwide.
Triumph Motorcycles Australia hasn’t said what their allocation will be or whether it will be by customer order, only.
There is also no price yet, although as a gauge the THruxton TFC is over $30k.
Bobber TFC
Like the other TFC models, it comes with more power, better suspension and lashings of carbon fibre.
Power is up 7.5kW (10hp) to 64kW and 17.9Nm of torque which is a 4Nm bump in grunt.
They say there is 39% lower engine inertia resulting in 500rpm higher revving, while the bike is also 5kg lighter than the Bobber Black.
Apart from fully adjustable Öhlins forks a shocks, it comes with Arrow mufflers with carbon fibre end caps, Dual Brembo M50 monobloc brake calipers, Brembo MCS radial master cylinder, three riding modes (road, rain, sport) and LED lighting.
Every Bobber TFC owner will also receive a special tailor-made TFC handover pack unique to their bike.
It features a numbered letter hand-signed by Triumph’s CEO Nick Bloor, a personalised custom build book, a Bobber TFC bike cover, a TFC document wallet and a leather TFC branded rucksack.

For 2020 Triumph Motorcycles have announced two special edition Bonneville’s in T120 and T100 variants, celebrating the legendary motocross, desert racer and Hollywood stuntman Bud Ekins, who was the man behind the famous motorcycle jump in ‘The Great Escape’.
2020 Triumph Bud Ekins T100 & T120 Special Editions
In honour of Ekins, each bike will feature a Californian inspired two-colour paint scheme with hand-painted coach lining as well as a host of special features, including the Triumph heritage logo, a flying globe Bud Ekins tank logo, dedicated front mudguard design and Bud Ekins side panel branding.
Both bikes will also include a Monza filler cap, LED indicators (in some markets), diamond knurled handlebar grips, bar end mirrors, and dedicated black engine badges.
Each bike will also come with a certificate of authenticity signed by Triumph CEO Nick Bloor and Bud Ekin’s daughters, Susan and Donna.
The famous movie jump was the brain child of Steve McQueen, who recommended Bud Ekins for the stunt role, with the duo working out the requirements of jumping a Triumph TR6 Trophy over a 12-foot barbed wire fence for a distance of 60-foot, all on grass.
2020 Triumph Bud Ekins Specials
Bud Ekins ran a Triumph dealership after his earlier racing success on a Triumph and would continue stunting for Hollywood for 30-years, alongside running his dealership.

Triumph has squeezed in a Thruxton RS to their Bonneville range, in between the Thruxton R and the Thruxton TFC.
That’s four in the Thruxton line and some 13 models in the entire Bonneville range; five with the 900cc engine and the rest with the 1200cc twin.
There is no word yet from Triumph Australia on when it will arrive or pricing, but expect it to cost more than the R at $21,100 (plus on-road costs).
The new Thruxton R has 5kW more power o 77kW and 112Nm of torque delivered 700rpm lower in the rev range.
That compares with the top-of-the-line Thruxton TFC with 79kW and 115Nm.
Thruxton TFC
Triumph says it the RS model is 6kg lighter than the R.
It comes with hi-spec Brembo M50 radial mono bloc callipers, sticker Metzler Racetec RR tyres, Ohlins shocks, traction control, LED lighting and USB charger.
The three riding modes – Sport, Road and Rain – now adjust throttle map, ABS and traction control.
Styling is dark with black anodised whereas and engine covers and black Ohlines RSU twin shocks.
It comes in black or grey with silver trimmings.A range of custom accessories will be available, including the bubble fairing.
Triumph’s Thruxton R really did take retro naked bikes to a new level when the 1200 was released in 2016. A very handsome and quite genuine retro look married with great suspension, relatively light weight and a torque-rich big loping parallel twin was a winning combination and one that I, along with many others, really took a strong shine to.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
Thruxton R evolves further for 2020 with a new Thruxton RS model. The classic look remains much the same but new devil in its character is revealed in the detail.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
It’s still the same long-stroke 1200 HT 270-degree parallel twin but there is a few more ponies in the revamped stable for 2020.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
Power is up by almost ten per cent, to a new peak of 105 ps at 7500 rpm while the 112 Nm torque peak now shifts 700 rpm lower on the tacho to 4250 rpm. It also revs a little quicker than before with a massive 20 per cent reduction of inertia and a 500 rpm higher red-line than its predecessor.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS with accessory screen
Higher compression pistons, revised ports and new cam profiles and a swag of other changes is what results in the improved performance.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS with accessory screen
Some of the improvements wrought are no doubt a result of having to meet Euro5 specifications and the upswept silencers now house new higher-spec catalytic convertors.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS with accessory screen
Weight is down by six-kilograms which brings the 2020 Thruxton RS under the magic 200 kg mark, at 197 kg dry.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
The stoppers are stronger than before with up-spec M50 Radial Monoblock calipers with 320 mm Brembo discs and master cylinder.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
Showa provide the adjustable big-piston forks while the rear shocks are again fully-adjustable Ohlins units.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS with accessory screen
The switchable traction control system now features three upgraded riding modes, Sport, Road and Rain, which adjust the ABS and traction control settings to those chosen conditions.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
Fuel economy has improved to 4.9-litres per 100 km which will prove handy as the modest 14.5 litre fuel capacity remains. Service intervals remain a lengthy 16,000 kilometres.
2020 Triumph Thruxton RS
An LED day-time running light is employed inside the traditional large round head-light and the rear light is also LED.
Thruxton RS takes the black to next level with even the Ohlins springs finished in black along with anodised black rims, black mirrors and indicators while the side panel and sprocket cover are also black.

The donk itself features black powder-coated engine and cam covers.

The optional ‘Twin-Paint’ colour scheme scores a new Triumph triangle tank decal while the single bullet seat is standard in both colour choices, Jet Black, and the Matt Storm Greg / Matt Silver Ice combination.
I am generally not a real fan of Bobber’s, but Triumph’s Bobber that they released in 2017 was actually a pretty good ride.There were a few short-comings that are pretty much inescapable with a Bobber design, but overall it was a fun ride and light years ahead of most cruiser based designs that follow the Bobber theme.
2020 Triumph Bobber TFC
For 2020, Triumph have given their Bobber the Triumph Factory Custom treatment that is more than just window dressing.Only 750 will be produced worldwide and will no doubt sell out fast.
2020 Triumph Bobber TFC
The TFC Bobber scores 10 more ponies and 4 Nm more twist than the regular Bobber models. Engine inertia is reduced by 39 per cent, while the RPM limit is raised by 500 rpm. Power is up by 13 per cent over the standard Bobber.
2020 Triumph Bobber TFC
While the final specification might be subject to some minor late changes, Triumph state that the TFC will be approximately five-kilograms lighter than the Bobber models.The final weight, rake, trail and seat height specifications for the new Bobber TFC, and the difference vs. the standard Triumph Bobber and Bobber Black, will be released following homologation in January 2020.
2020 Triumph Bobber TFC
Suspension is now by Ohlins and is fully-adjustable at both ends.

Additional detailing includes knurled handlebar grips, billet machined aluminium top and bottom yokes with TFC branding, premium real leather statement seat offering the Bobber’s innovative adjustable seat position, and billet machined aluminium oil filler cap.
All of this comes on top of a whole host of blacked-out features, including premium black anodised multi-spoked rims, black Öhlins RSU spring and Öhlins forks, black engine covers and a black frame and swing-arm.
2020 Triumph Bobber TFC
To perfectly complement the black theme and real carbon fibre, the Bobber TFC is available in one signature premium twin paint scheme – a distinctive Carbon Black and Matt Carbon Black, with silver foil union jack flag on the knee pads, brushed foil bobber decals and a Triumph triangle logo decal on the tank.

Both new updated models have more aggressive, angular styling with twin LED headlights.
All Street Triples now have more than 60 accessories, including new scrolling LED indicators and luggage with quick-release mounts.
Street Triple RS
Street Triple RS performance improvements come from Triumph’s work with the Moto2TM team that supplies engines to all the Moto2 teams.
Power is now 90kW and torque 79Nm with 9% more of both right where it’s needed in the mid-range.
Triumph also claims it has a more responsive throttle, “freer-flowing” muffler and a smooth gearbox with slip and assist clutch for clutchless up and down shifts.
They have also improved the five riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport, Track, and Rider configurable.
The TFT instruments have new graphics and MyTriumph connectivity with GoPro interaction, satnav and phone/music operation.
As usual, the Street Triple RS has all the exotic components such as fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, Brembo M50 brakes and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tyres.
It also comes with a carbon fibre exhaust and interchangeable seat cowl and pillion seat.
Street Triple S
To retain its LAMS compliance the 660cc triple engine has 39.7kW of peak power with 61Nm peak torque at 6000rpm.
Styling updates include position lights, angular bodywork and restyled mirrors with increased adjustability.
Even though it’s a LAMS bike, it features twin front brakes, Brembo single rear brake, Showa suspension and all-weather Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres.
It comes with two riding modes (Road and Rain) which adjust the throttle response and traction control settings, selectable via the LCD instruments.
2020 Triumph Street Triple RS alongside Triumph’s Moto2 machine
It was only a couple of years ago, 2017 in fact, that the Street Triple RS got its big boost from 675 to 765cc in capacity. Now for 2020 that 765 cc engine has undergone quite a major revamp and now boasts a lot more performance than before.
2020 Triumph Street Triple RS
How big an improvement? How about a massive 9 per cent boost in horsepower and a 9 per cent improvement in mid-range torque! That’s pretty damn impressive and sees the 2020 Street Triple RS generating 121 horsepower at 11,750 tpm and 79 Nm of torque peaking at 9350 rpm.
2020 Triumph Street Triple RS
Engine inertia has also been reduced by 7 per cent due to improved manufacturing tolerances.
2020 Triumph Street Triple RS

Instrumentation has gone full TFT and is available with GoPro and Bluetooth functionality to provide turn-by-turn navigation cues on the display.

An up-down quick-shifter continues the up-spec theme along with five riding modes, Brembo M50 four-piston radial stoppers and Ohlins hardware suspending both ends of the 166 kilogram machine.

I’ve always enjoyed the playful Street Triple more than the big-bore Speed Triple, and with this new bike I reckon that trend looks to continue.

Pricing has not yet been revealed by Triumph Australia but they do expect Australian stocks to land by December, 2019.

2020 Triumph Street Triple RS and S Technical Specifications
When Triumph’s new Street Triple S goes on sale this December learner riders will have access to what will probably turn out to be the highest performance LAMS machine since the days of the RGV 250 Suzuki.
2020 Triumph Street Triple S
52 horsepower is not a stand-out figure but the 61 Nm of torque by 6000rpm combined with a 168kg dry weight certainly is. That is a long way from the 121 horsepower of the full monty 765 Street Triple RS but the torque is not all that far behind, 79 Nm at 9,350 rpm plays 61 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The smaller 660cc LAMS capacity is achieved by a reduction in both bore and stroke.
2020 Triumph Street Triple S
Showa suspension front and rear, 310mm disc rotors and twin-piston Nissin calipers and a low seat height of 810 mm are some of the other features that will make the new Street Triple S perhaps the most desirable LAMS machine on the Australian market.
2020 Triumph Street Triple S
A handy 17.4-litre fuel capacity is another useful amenity along with switchable ABS, riding modes and traction control.
2020 Triumph Street Triple S
Styling has also been updated for 2020 with new LED headlights and even more angular lines.
2020 Triumph Street Triple S
The final piece of the puzzle that is yet to be revealed is how much the new Street Triple S will cost here in Australia. In the aim of affordability the S eschews the high-spec Ohlins suspension, TFT dash, quick-shifter and DRLs of the big brother 765 Street Triple RS.
2020 Triumph Street Triple S
Traditionally, Triumph Australia’s pricing is pretty sharp, with buyers generally able to buy new Triumphs in Australia cheaper than you can in the UK! But how close will they get to the red hot $11,699 Ride Away pricing of Yamaha’s MT-07…? We will find out soon enough as these machines are due to be in Triumph Australia showrooms by December this year…

A month ago Triumph put out the first teasers of a coming Daytona 765 Limited Edition model celebrating Triumph’s role as the sole engine supplier to Moto 2 and now we can bring you the ‘almost’ full run down on the new model.
Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Limited Edition
1530 of the machines will be made all up, 765 for North America, and 765 for Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. Australia were allocated 25 units from the limited edition run and all those were spoken for within hours of the news of the model breaking a month ago. Austrlian customers can expect delivery of their machines in early 2020.
Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Limited Edition
Will there be a regular production model to follow…? It would be hard not to imagine that Triumph will indeed release a full production model that closely mimics what you see here in the Moto2 Limited Edition model. With customers then of course being able to buy most of the Limited Edition model’s kit from the Triumph accessories catalogue, such as the trick carbon-fibre bodywork and all the billet bits and pieces that adorn this special Limited-Edition model.
Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Limited Edition
Power figures released see Triumph claim 130 PS which translates to 128 imperial horsepower at 12,250 rpm. I must admit I was expecting those numbers to be a little higher than that, and was hoping to see something near 150 horsepower. Suzuki’s GSX-R750 puts out 148 horsepower and at 86.3 Nm of torque, and also bests the triple-cylinder Triumph’s claimed 80 Nm at 9750 rpm. Triumph are yet to put out an official weight figure, but state that it is lighter than the previous generation Daytona which tipped the scales at 185 kg wet. For comparison’s sake, Suzuki are currently claiming 190kg wet for the GSX-R750.
Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 Limited Edition
The engine features a number of components and performance upgrades derived directly from the Moto2 engine development project, including titanium inlet valves, stronger pistons, MotoGP-spec DLC coated gudgeon pins, new cam profiles, new intake trumpets, modified con rods, intake ports, crank and barrels, and an increased compression ratio. The engine is also higher revving than the Street Triple RS engine by 600 rpm, with a red line now up at 13,250 rpm.
