TRIUMPHTRIDENT
Friendly, mid-capacity
roadsters
are all the rage,
and the sales
chart evidence
highlights that fact but up
until now there’s been an
obvious omission in the
shape of a well-known
British manufacturer.
Well, sort of. Behold the
new 2021 Triumph Trident
– a 660cc, three-cylinder,
opponent to the Yamaha
MT-07 and Kawasaki Z650
that have been grabbing
a large percentage of this
market in recent times.
Yes, the British
marque has had the
Street Triple S on its
books since January of
this year as an accomplice
to the R and RS
but with a 660cc engine
making 47bhp rather than
the R and RS’s 765cc version
making 116bhp and
121bhp respectively.
However, the new Trident
has been earmarked
as a restrictable naked
demonstrating Triumph’s
ambition to introduce a
new generation of riders
to the brand with a
well-balanced package
containing strong rider
ergonomics, style and
quality mixed with performance,
a three-cylinder
motor and a range of
rider aids. This could be
the most important motorbike
Triumph bring to
the market in years.
