  • Triumph Street Triple RS and S used at CSS in India

    California Superbike School for the fourth year in a row used Triumph Motorcycles for conducting their training program in India. On this occasion, they used the Street Triple RS and S models.



    Triumph Motorcycles India further strengthens its association with the California Superbike School (CSS) for the fourth year in a row. With the aim to make world-class motorsports skills accessible to talented enthusiasts and to equip them with the responsible and safe riding practices, Triumph Motorcycles made their Street Triple range (RS and S) available to the trainers at CSS so they could impart specialised training and skill sets to all riders attending the training.

    The showstopper at CSS was the new Triumph Street Triple line-up (RS and S). These are machines that inspires complete confidence. With more power, lighter weight, and easier to ride design, Triumph engineers aimed for the simple and achieved it by creating the most perfectly balanced motorcycle. An equal blend of torque, responsiveness, agility, poise and purpose.

    The Street Triple range has won several industry awards lately and what better platform to celebrate this other than the CSS to bring out the best of both worlds, as the Street Triple is a perfect weapon for both the streets as well as the race tracks. Highly skilled track racing professionals have trained the riders using this motorcycle. Here is where the owners of the Street Triple range got to explore the best potential of their machines.

    Attending the training session, Vimal Sumbly, Managing Director Triumph Motorcycles India Pvt Ltd. said “Triumph has grown at a significant pace in India in the luxury motorcycle segment providing a complete riding experience. In fact, we have received an overwhelming response from our consumers and partners on our association with CSS (California Superbike School) and seen CSS grow and motorsports gaining ground here in India. Triumph’s exciting partnership in Moto-2 has also created a lot of positive conversations amongst the motor-sports fraternity here in India. Petrolheads owning a superbike is becoming popular in the country so it is imperative that we make provisions for the appropriate skill sets to keep owners safe while they make the most of their motorcycles. I personally feel this is a much-needed riding school where the curriculum is designed to improve your skills on a motorcycle, which in turn makes you a better rider.”

    TT Siddhartha, avid rider and the creator of CSS here in India said “Enthusiasm among participants has been exceptionally high. The CSS module of training rotates between theory and practical sessions. There are three students per instructor which means that you are monitored closely and given constant feedback. Riders personally come up to us and share how CSS has improved their riding techniques. I would like to extend a very warm thanks to Triumph Motorcycles India for supporting us in this special endeavour and together we hope to build this partnership stronger.”

    Actor Amit Sadh, who owns a Triumph Street triple RS also attended the track training session said “I ride my bike regularly in Mumbai but nothing beats riding it on the race tracks just as how it is meant to be. I am thrilled to a part of this training, not just because it will improve my riding skills, especially in the motorsports space.”

    Disagree MASSIVELY with this decision

    If I were going to a Superbike school, and was going to learn riding on a TRACK, I'd rather have an RC390 over a Striple. It just makes more sense for everyone.

    Cheaper to buy.
    Easier to fix if wrecked
    Less power (good for noobs)
    Better handling

    I mean, is there any reason for a striple?

      We should not take this literally as a track training exercise because, honestly most people who can afford this bike will be long past their track days!
      This is a customer leaning exercise to appeal to the brand and also provide a carry-on for the customer to be part of, like how Royal Enfield organises Events/trips for its users.

        In my humble opinion, Ideally Yes. especially considering these track are smaller and are more suited for smaller, lighter bikes.

        However, in this case its more about which company is ready to give its bikes free and Triumph is doing that, because they would consider this as a marketing exercise. Plus good way to show the potential of their bikes to people on track.

        I am not sure if I agree. Many super bike owners in India have not been to tracks. I am not saying that they don't want to or that they don't care. Its just that we have only 3 tracks. Also track is expensive especially BIC. Just take my example, after dreaming for years to go to track and after owning the CBR650 for 2.5 years, I finally managed my first track day yesterday. Plus I think a decent percentage of people applying for CSS will be super bike owners so I think they would prefer riding a bike with comparable power so that they can take the learnings to their bikes. But this is just my opinion.
