Triumph Trident 660 2025 — Specifications

So, does the Trident still have some mustard left in the tank? That's the question one asks when discovering the 2025 update of this British naked bike. Triumph isn't revolutionizing its entry-level offering, but is giving it a series of adjustments that resemble a solid polish. The idea is clear: consolidate its position against fierce competition, without betraying the recipe that made it successful.

The heart remains that famous 660 cc three-cylinder engine, a true sonic and sensory signature in a segment populated with twins. With its 81 horsepower and 63.7 Nm of torque, it hasn't aged a bit. Its generous character in the low and mid-range makes it an ideal engine for everyday use or dynamic rides, without ever overwhelming the novice rider. This is precisely what makes it a perfect candidate for an A2 license, with simple and reversible restriction. The technical specifications of the Triumph Trident 660 confirm that it hits the mark for this audience.

The real change is on the electronics and chassis side. Triumph now equips its roadster with an inertial measurement unit, making the ABS and traction control sensitive to lean angle. A real plus for serenity, especially on wet roads. We also gain a standard up and down quickshifter, a cruise control – a welcome surprise on a naked – and a new Sport mode that joins the Rain and Road modes. Bluetooth connectivity for music and navigation finally arrives. For an announced price of €8295, the equipment/price ratio of the Triumph Trident 660 becomes frankly attractive.

But is that enough? Faced with a formidable Honda CB750 Hornet or the liveliness of a Yamaha MT-07, the Trident relies on its refinement and triple character. Its Nissin braking is effective, and the new Showa SFF-BP fork promises more progressiveness. However, some purists may regret the lack of more substantial improvements to the suspension, or the 14-liter tank that imposes frequent stops on long journeys. It's a motorcycle with character, not an aseptic machine.

Ultimately, this 2025 evolution is a clever move. Triumph fills in electronic shortcomings without increasing the bill, reinforcing the argument against buying a used Triumph Trident 660 from the early years. For the novice looking for a first large displacement motorcycle full of personality, or the urban traveler seeking British elegance, it remains a very relevant choice. Customization enthusiasts will also find their happiness among the numerous accessories for Triumph Trident 660, ranging from the exhaust line to the windscreen, including a custom seat. It doesn't seek a brawl in pure performance, but it wins the battle of charm and equipment. The bet is kept.
