Triumph 660 Trident Tribute Edition 2025 — Specifications

Triumph had promised the Trident Tribute would last only one season. Its success decided otherwise. It's back for 2025, wearing a revised livery where blue takes center stage alongside the famous number 67, while the wheels shift to Diablo red and black accents replace the white of the first edition. The result is bolder, visually sharper. That 67 is no random decorative choice. It's the number carried by the legendary Slippery Sam, the racing triple that terrorized the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy five years running, from 1971 to 1975, in the Production category. Triumph knows how to cultivate its heritage, and on an entry-level machine, this nod carries real flair.

In terms of equipment, this second Tribute plays a slightly different tune from its predecessor. The first edition had the merit of including the bi-directional quickshifter as a bonus. Except that feature is now part of the standard specification on every Trident, along with cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, an additional riding mode, and most importantly an inertial measurement unit that makes the ABS and traction control lean-angle sensitive. These additions, tied to Euro 5+ compliance, have benefited the entire range. The 2025 Tribute therefore stands out from the catalog through its exclusive elements: a two-piece aluminum belly pan and a compact fly screen, carried over from the first edition. Hinckley prices the package at €8,745, just €150 more than before. A reasonable premium given the overall enrichment of the platform.

On the mechanical front, the Trident retains its trump card against the MT-07, Z650, and SV650: a 660cc inline triple. It's the only roadster in this segment to offer this engine layout, and it changes everything in terms of character. The 81 horsepower delivered at 10,250 rpm aren't trying to impress on paper. The 64 Nm of torque available from just 6,250 rpm provides a flexibility that competing twins struggle to match in the mid-range. The engine runs smoothly, pulls with consistency, and revs without hesitation. Triumph has calibrated this power for a broad audience, including A2 license holders since the bike accepts a restrictor kit. Those craving more bite will turn to the Daytona, built for sportier duties.

At 190 kg wet, the Trident remains a light and nimble motorcycle. The tubular steel frame, 41 mm inverted fork, and Showa monoshock deliver a coherent package for mixed use, from city riding to weekend jaunts. The Nissin braking system, with its twin 310 mm discs clamped by twin-piston calipers up front, gets the job done without fanfare. The 120/70 and 180/55 tires on 17-inch wheels ensure stable and predictable handling. Nothing spectacular, but everything is well-sized for the class.

The onboard electronics deserve a closer look. For a motorcycle sold under €9,000, having cornering ABS, three riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport), a disengageable traction control, a quickshifter, cruise control, and a hybrid LCD/TFT color display is genuinely impressive. Full LED lighting completes the picture. Up against a less well-equipped Yamaha MT-07 or a Kawasaki Z650 that skips the IMU altogether, the Triumph clearly plays the technological generosity card. This Tribute is aimed at riders who want a versatile, well-finished machine with an extra dose of visual character and a heritage that goes beyond a mere sticker. The triple makes the difference, and the rest follows suit with conviction.
