Clad in sleek black, this nimble roadster offers both new and experienced riders an accessible yet thrilling entry into the iconic Triumph brand. The Trident delivers a riding experience that's as suitable for daily commuting as it is for weekend adventures through South Africa's diverse landscapes. Performance & Efficiency: At the heart of the Trident 660 beats a liquid-cooled 660cc inline triple-cylinder engine a configuration that Triumph has perfected over decades. This responsive powerplant delivers a characterful riding experience with a distinctive three-cylinder soundtrack. With its manual transmission allowing precise control, the Trident puts the rider in complete command of its performance envelope. The triple-cylinder configuration strikes an ideal balance between the torque of a twin and the high-revving character of a four-cylinder, making it remarkably versatile across varied riding conditions.

Rider comfort comes from well-placed handlebars and foot controls, while Showa suspension components provide 120mm of travel front and rear.

Why It's Ideal for South African Roads: The Trident 660 proves particularly well-suited to South African conditions, where versatility is key.
