The 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS was originally scheduled to be launched in India on 25 March 2020. However, due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian Govt put the entire nation in lockdown to contain the spread of the deadly virus. Consequently, Triumph postponed the launch of the new bike.
