Triumph's new Trident will be positioned below the Street Triple range. Here's all the details about the upcoming motorcycles in images
The Trident has been a very important model for Triumph and is set to make a comeback in the form of a mid-capacity naked motorcycle. The British bikemaker has released images of the design prototype and details about the upcoming motorcycle. Here is a closer look at the Trident via a series of detailed images.
The Triumph Trident design is a mix of the Street Triple and Street Twin styling. It gets a round headlamp and a large fuel tank with a flat seat. The roadster look has more Italian flair than British.
The front end gets a minimalistic look with a small round headlamp that could get LED lighting.

It gets a minimalistic round instrument console with a digital readout. Triumph could offer a colour display similar to the Scrambler 1200. The motorcycle gets 4-way navigation buttons on the left side switchgear similar to the Street Triple.
The heavily sculpted fuel tank features deep knee recesses and could get rubberised thigh grips. Its flat handlebar points to a sporty riding position.
The one piece seat ends into a clean looking tail lamp unit. While the bike appears to have underseat grabrails, the production spec variant could get a more conventional and usable unit.
While most mid-capacity motorcycles use a twin-cylinder or four cylinder engine configuration, the Trident will get an inline 3-cylinder motor. We expect the motor to displace around 80-85PS and 70Nm. For context, the Street Triple 675 offered 106PS and 67.8Nm. Triumph says the Trident will feature class-leading electronics so we can expect multiple rider modes, traction control and switchable ABS. It could even get an optional bi-directional quickshifter. According to Triumph, the Trident’s will offer a “perfect balance of low-down torque and top-end power.”
While Triumph has not revealed details about the underpinnings, the Trident could get a tubular perimeter frame and a cast aluminium swingarm. The suspension components could be lower cost non-adjustable upside down forks and monoshock. For braking, the Trident could get Nissin floating calipers. The design prototype has Michelin Road 5 tyres which is considerably cheaper than the track spec Pirelli's but offer fantastic all-weather grip.
The Triumph Trident will be manufactured at Ducati's Thailand facility. It will commence global deliveries by 2021 and is expected to be launched in India by March 2021. It is expected to come here via the CBU route and be priced around Rs 7.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
