Available for only one year, the 2025 Triumph Trident 660 Triple Tribute Special Edition was a race-inspired tribute to the “Slippery Sam” Trident that claimed five consecutive Isle of Mann Production TT wins in the 1970s. Due to the popularity of that Special Edition model, Triumph has announced a 2026 version with new colors.

The 2026 Triumph Trident 660 Triple Tribute Special Edition will also benefit from the model’s updates announced for the 2025 model year, including optimized cornering ABS and traction control, the Triumph Shift Assist up/down quickshifter, cruise control, and Sport ride mode to join previous Road and Rain modes. Finally, the Showa 41mm inverted fork was upgraded to a Separate Function Fork-Big Piston version.

The 2026 model retains the 2025’s special Cobalt Blue and Diablo Red highlights, along with the ’67 race number graphic on the tank, but the white of the previous model is swapped for glossy Sapphire Black paint for the new edition. Diablo Red wheels, a flyscreen with graphic details, and sculpted belly pan are also included.

It has a seat height of 31.7 inches, a wheelbase of 55.2 inches, a wet weight of 419 lb, and a fuel capacity of 3.7 gallons.

Triumph says the Trident 660 is one of its most popular models, bringing in more riders who are new to the brand than any other. It claims to sell about 10,000 Trident 660s each year, and about 11% of sales are to women riders. The goal of this update was to make the model even more rider-friendly while maintaining its attainable price point. 

Most of the changes to the Trident 660 include the addition of rider aids and technology. New for the 2025 model are optimized cornering ABS and traction control, the Triumph Shift Assist up/down quickshifter, and cruise control. Also included is a new Sport ride mode to join the existing Road and Rain modes.

2021 Triumph Trident 660 Lands in India

From Britain to India

The greatly anticipated and highly praised Triumph Trident 660 is coming to India! If you are an Indian rider and are looking to get your hands on some British middle-weight firepower, Triumph has announced that preorders are now open (fully refundable, as well) for a fee of Rs 50,000. 

Triumph has also mentioned that they will be offering special financing options allowing for riders to get on an equated monthly installment plan of Rs 9,999 for five months.  This financing plan will only be available for a limited time through Indian dealers, though. 

This entry-priced hoon-machine will be powered by Trump’s brand-spankin’ new 660cc inline-three motorcycle producing 89 horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque. 

If the naked styling of the Trident isn’t your thing though, be patient and wait out the storm. Rumor has it that Triumph has a few other motorcycles planned around this 660cc engine configuration and we will likely see an entry-level ADV bike and perhaps even a full-fairing sportbike. Only time will tell.

Regardless, this motorcycle was designed to compete with the likes of Yamaha’s MT-07 among other Japanese mid-displacement naked motorcycles and the pricing reflects that. If you’re trying to get onto a British manufactured naked motorcycle, the Triumph Trident is your best bet.
