The Triumph Trident 660 is a naked motorcycle by manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. Following a four-year development programme, the Triumph Trident prototype was revealed at the London Design Museum on 25 August 2020. To disguise the final form, the prototype was painted all white with the exception of the engine. [2] A further, less-disguised and fully running prototype was released to the press a few weeks later, and shows the motorcycle undergoing final testing. [3]

Finally, the production version of the Trident was released to the press and journalists on 30 October 2020. [4]

The Trident is intended to compete in the middleweight sector, and be a rival to the likes of the Yamaha MT-07, Kawasaki Z650, Honda CB650R, and to a lesser extent the Suzuki SV650. [5]

Features

Unlike the Street Triple S, the engine of which was developed to power the new motorcycle, the Trident has an all-new steel perimeter frame.

The motorcycle features:

An optional Bluetooth connectivity system is available, which allows mobile phone connection, navigation, music control, and GoPro control. This system is driven by the My Triumph app, and available for both Android and Apple iOS.

Engine

The Trident 660 engine is an updated Triumph Daytona 675 engine with a slightly shorter stroke, down from 52.3 mm to 51.1 mm. The engine has 67 new components, including crank, pistons, gudgeon pins, cylinder liners, cylinder head, cams, crankcase castings, sump, cooling system, radiator, alternator rotor and stator, air intakes, exhaust and slip and assist clutch for a light lever action.
