The Most Accessible TRIPLE
TRIUMPH INDIA ARE ALL SET TO WRITE A new chapter in their Indian journey. It is no secret that they have been working on a neo-retro naked motorcycle with a triple-cylinder engine, called the Trident. Is the Trident all-new? Yes and no. The name is iconic and can be traced back to 1968 when it first appeared. During its tenure in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, the motorcycle earned the nickname “Slippery Sam” and won the Production class five times in a row from 1971 to 1975. Then the name surfaced once again in 1990, adorning the 750- and 900-cc triple-cylinder roadsters.
Now, in the 21st century, the Triumph Trident has resurfaced yet again as a 660-cc triple. In its latest avatar, this motorcycle aims to be one of the most accessible options in Triumph’s line-up (perhaps, the most accessible in India). In the Trident, the 660-cc, liquid-cooled, triple-cylinder engine develops 81 hp at 10,250 rpm and a peak torque of 64 Nm at 6,250 rpm. Transmission duties are handled by a six-speed gearbox supplemented by a slip-and-assist clutch with an up-and-down quick-shifter as an accessory.
Triumph claim that the new Trident will cater to a large spectrum of riders from people who are looking for their first big motorcycle experience to veterans who want a compact, well-built motorcycle.
Price? We expect the motorcycle to be priced close to Rs 7 lakh and at that price, it seems irresistible. On paper, at least...
