After being globally unveiled last year, the all-new Triumph Trident 660 has finally reached the Indian market. The handsome middleweight roadster has been launched in our country today. It’s the most affordable Triumph model in the British brand’s product catalogue.
The new Triumph Trident 660 is expected to
be a great overall package. However, it has been in the news primarily because
of its sweet inline 3-cylinder engine. Triumph says that this 660 cc motor has
67 new components. It features 12 valves and DOHC. The liquid-cooled mill has
been tuned to pump out 81 PS of max power at 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm of peak torque
at 6250 rpm. For the transmission, there’s a 6-speed gearbox. The service
interval of this engine has been set at 16,000 km and Triumph is providing 2
years/unlimited mileage warranty.
Being an entry-level motorcycle, the
Triumph Trident 660 doesn’t come with a whole bunch of advanced electronics,
however, it does get switchable traction control, two riding modes (rain and road),
and dual-channel ABS. A single-pod, fully-digital instrument console is fitted
above the full-LED circular headlamp with integrated LED DRLs. Moving towards
the centre, we have a nicely sculpted 14L fuel tank with neatly designed knee
recesses. Further back, there’s a good-looking LED taillamp and down below a
rear tyre hugger carries the license plate holder and side turn LED indicators.
In terms of equipment, the Triumph Trident
660’s suspension system includes Showa 41mm USD separate function forks (SFF)
at the front and Showa monoshock RSU, with preload adjustment. The braking
department is handled by Nissin two-piston sliding calipers accompanied by twin
310mm floating discs up-front and Nissin single-piston sliding caliper with a
single 255mm rotor at the back.
The Triumph Trident 660 is available in
four colours options - Silver Ice & Diablo Red, Matt Jet Black & Matt
Silver Ice, Crystal White, and Sapphire Black. All of them have been priced at
INR 6.95 lakh*. Bookings are open from today. The new motorcycle is also
available at easy EMI options starting at INR 9,999.
