Triumph Trident 660

The Trident design prototype marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Triumph, introducing a new triple-powered dimension to the competitive middleweight roadster world.

GREAT THINGS TO COME

Following a brief that was all about fun, from the look to the ride, the New Trident has been designed to deliver three key advantages for a new generation of Triumph riders.

Triple cylinder power and torque rich performance, class leading technology as standard and all of Triumph’s accessible agile and confidence inspiring handling, all at a price that represents great value.

FOUR YEAR DESIGN PROCESS

The Trident design prototype marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Triumph, introducing a new triple-powered dimension to the competitive middleweight roadster world.

Conceived and developed by the Hinckley design team, with additional styling input from Rodolfo Frascoli, the Trident brief was focused on delivering a distinctive, dynamic and attractive new take on Triumph style and attitude.

Working with Rodolfo, a passionate Triumph fan who has brought Italian design flair to the Triumph design language - most notably with our latest generation Tiger 900, the team focused on evolving what a contemporary Triumph should be, building on our recognised strengths and design DNA, the character and distinctive original style.

Following our ethos to develop all aspects of a design in harmony, from the style, to the ergonomics, integrated technology and engine performance the Trident brief centred on delivering the complete motorcycle for the perfect ride.

1. THRILLING TRIPLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE

Central to the Trident 660’s power, agility and thrilling performance is its 660cc engine; a Triumph triple-cylinder that delivers the perfect balance of strong torque (that is evident from low-down and right up through the range) which peaks at 64Nm @ 6,250 rpm and exhilarating high-end power which peaks at 81PS @ 10,250 rpm.

In terms of ride quality, there’s an effortless feel to the Trident 660. Its smooth slick 6-speed gearbox has been optimised for fun and rideability, while the slip and assist clutch provides a light action clutch that reduces rider fatigue, allowing you to enjoy riding this remarkable bike for even longer.

 

2. CATEGORY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY AS STANDARD

The Trident 660’s multi-functional instruments with colour TFT display provide all key information in a compact and uncluttered design for easy at-a-glance interaction while riding.

The display has been designed specifically for the optional accessory-fit connectivity system that enables turn-by-turn navigation, GoPro control, plus phone and music interaction via the switchgear – all clearly displayed on the TFT screen.

The new Trident 660 benefits from category-leading rider electronics, including Road and Rain riding modes, which adjust the bike’s throttle and traction control maps for maximum rider control (with Rain mode bringing a softer map for improved safety), ride-by-wire throttle for crisp, precise throttle response, switchable traction control which manages power and torque when traction is compromised and Triumph’s latest generation ABS for additional rider safety.

Full LED lighting produces better performance for maximum rider safety. The new distinctively-styled 7” LED headlight has been uniquely designed for the Trident 660, while the compact and integrated rear light has been contoured to the shape of the tail unit. Self-cancelling slim LED indicators add to the Trident 660’s high level of rider convenience (local market restrictions may apply).

3. AGILE, SPORTY & CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING RIDE

Being a Triumph motorcycle, the Trident delivers a confidence-inspiring ride that’s easy to control with incredibly reassuring handling, thrilling performance and fantastic reliability. With its light steering weight you get a sure-footed bike that’s manoeuvrable, agile and fun to ride, and its high specification suspension and braking combine perfectly with the lightweight 17” sporty cast aluminium wheels for maximum agility.

As soon as you get onto this bike you’ll notice the relaxed riding ergonomics, because everything about the Trident 660 is designed to be your perfect everyday ride. The comfortable and practical twin seat has an accessible seat height of 805mm, while the bike’s narrow width encourages a confidence-inspiring standover position with easy access to footpegs, and a span-adjustable brake lever offers additional longer-ride comfort.

The Trident 660’s superior combination of suspension, tyres and brakes brings a comfortable, confidence inspiring ride, including:

High specification Showa suspension system (black upside-down front forks with 120mm front wheel travel, and preload adjustable monoshock rear suspension unit delivering 133.5mm travel)

Versatile Michelin ‘Road 5’ tyres fitted as standard ensuring performance and confidence in wet and dry conditions

Great stopping power from the Nissin braking system 2-piston sliding front calipers with twin 310mm discs and single rear caliper & disc

4. INCREDIBLE VALUE

The Trident 660’s class-leading level of standard technology, high specification suspension, brakes and tyres, agile confidence-inspiring ride, thrilling triple engine performance, unique styling and very competitive price, together make this the perfect middleweight motorcycle choice - and the perfect entry point into the Triumph range.

A class-leading service interval of 10,000 miles (or 12 months) also contributes to the incredibly low cost of ownership.

5. DISTINCTIVE STYLE

Incorporating Triumph’s design DNA with clean dynamic lines, this is a truly stunning motorcycle with a distinctive sporty and muscular stance and attitude. The Trident 660 is available in four different colour schemes: Crystal White or Sapphire Black, both with contrasting decals, or twin colour options of Matt Jet Black & Matt Silver Ice or Silver Ice & Diablo Red.

The bike is styled with features that elevate the Trident 660’s distinctive good looks, including a 14-litre fuel tank design with sculpted knee cut-outs, five-spoke black wheels cast in lightweight aluminium, and a minimalist rear end with swingarm-mounted number plate hanger and rear indicators. Contrasting painted radiator cowls, yokes and heel guards, plus body-coloured fork protectors, tapered aluminium handlebars and teardrop-shaped mirrors all add to the exceptional level of finish on this bike.

Premium Triumph branding adds outstanding finishing touches. An inset aluminium Trident 660 badge with diamond-machined detail lettering is complemented by a machined Triumph badge on the fuel filler cap, a Triumph badge on the headlight and tail-light, Triumph-branded handlebar clamp and Triumph branding on the bike’s TFT instrument display face.(market restrictions may apply).

6. GENUINE ACCESSORIES

You can personalise your new Trident 660 by choosing from a whole range of genuine Triumph accessories, developed alongside the bike itself and subjected to the same rigorous quality and testing processes. With over 45 on offer, including new Trident 660 luggage, the My Triumph Connectivity System (for navigation, GoPro control, phone and music operation), and accessories that bring even more comfort, protection and style, you can enhance your Trident 660 in a multitude of ways.

The Trident 660 can be fitted with an optional A2 licence conversion kit that restricts performance to levels suitable for A2 licence holders. This includes A2-specific APS twist grip and unique engine tune, restricting peak power to 47.8 PS (35 kw) at 8750 rpm and peak torque to 59 Nm at 5250 rpm. A Triumph dealership can de-restrict the bike to its full power.

Triumph Genuine Accessories include a two-year unlimited mileage warranty as standard.
