New features, colours added to Triumph Trident 660 for 2025

Triumph has added more features to the Trident 660, along with new colours for 2025. All this while the price of the bike in international markets has stayed unchanged.

The headline-grabbing change is the inclusion of cruise control into the electronics arsenal. The Trident 660 isn't a long-legged motorcycle by any means but this feature is welcome nonetheless and this is now the most affordable multi-cylinder bike in India to have this feature. Perhaps Triumph could even bestow this feature on the Tiger Sport 660, a bike that is geared to take on the long haul.

The other changes include the addition of a zestier ‘Sport’ riding mode, which supplements the existing Road and Rain modes. We've always wished for the Trident to have a little more gusto in the way it delivers its power so this is another welcome addition. And speaking of welcome additions, the bidirectional quickshifter is now offered as standard. The final change to the electronic aids is that they are now all supplemented by an IMU, which means the Trident now gets cornering ABS and Traction control too.

In addition to all those electronic changes, there is also one fundamental chassis change. The front fork on the Trident 660 has moved to the Showa Big Piston sort, which in theory, should offer more feedback and control to the rider. This is still a non adjustable unit and the only sort of suspension adjustment is in the form of preload at the rear.

To differentiate the updated Trident 660 from the earlier one, Triumph has given it three bright new colours - yellow, blue and red. Most of the bodywork is black with only part of the tank being finished in the vibrant colours.

The rest of the motorcycle is pretty much the same as before. That means you get a 660cc, 3-cyl motor making 81hp and 64Nm of torque. With its 14 litre tank brimmed, the bike weighs in at 190kg. Seat height is a very manageable 805mm and the grippy Michelin Road 5 tyres continue in the same sizes as well.

Given that the updated Trident 660 will be made available internationally December 2024 onwards, we could see this model in Indian showrooms by early 2025. The Trident is the most affordable big bike retailed by Triumph in India and is a rather popular choice as well. The outgoing bike is priced at Rs 8.12 lakh (ex-showroom, India) and it remains to be seen if the international pricing model is followed here or not.
