Triumph Trident 660 Triple Tribute: a tribute to a racing legend [PHOTO]

Triumph Motorcycles presents the new one Trident 660 Triple Tribute, a special edition characterized by sporty and contemporary graphics that recall the iconic Triumph racing color in white, blue and red, and a complete standard equipment that includes Triumph Shift Assist.

The Trident Triple Tribute, that will be only available for one year, has a distinctive graphic scheme inspired by “Slippery Sam”, the Trident that wrote a glorious page in the racing history of the British brand by winning five consecutive Tourist Trophies on the Isle of Man.

Unique design

In addition to Triumph Shift Assist, the standard equipment of this special edition also includes matching front fairing and sports toe cap, elements that add an even more distinctive character to the Trident, underlining the high-quality finishes. The white, blue and red livery is flanked by the unmistakable design of the tank, also with racing-inspired graphics, and the number 67 around the characteristic knee spaces.

The Triumph badge stands out on the bike, present on both the headlight and the rear light, with some references to the logo on the fuel cap, handlebar clamp and on the instruments, in addition to the aluminum Trident badge with diamond-cut details. The radiator side panels have the same colors as the livery, while the look is completed by aluminum bars and heel guards, fork guards, handlebars, teardrop mirrors and black five-spoke cast aluminum wheels.

81 HP engine and 6-speed gearbox with Shift Assist

Pushing the special edition is the three-cylinder engine of the Trident 660 that delivers 81 CV of power at 10.250 rpm. And 64 Nm of maximum torque at 6.250 rpm. For the European market the depowering kit A2, which includes a specific APS knob and specific engine tuning that limits maximum power to 47 HP and maximum torque to 59 Nm. Joining the three-cylinder is the 6-speed gearbox with Shift Assist. 

The Triumph Trident 660 Triple Tribute has a saddle with ground clearance of 805 mm and a curb weight of 189 kg. The bike's equipment includes black Showa upside-down forks with 120 mm of travel at the front and a preload-adjustable Showa monoshock with linkage, with 133,5 mm of travel at the rear. Added to this are a tubular steel frame, lightweight tapered aluminum bars, two-piston Nissin brakes with dual 310mm discs, 17-inch cast aluminum wheels and Michelin Road 5 tires. 

On a technological level, the Tridente 660 is equipped with LED lighting, ABS, Road and Rain riding modes, deactivable traction control and a ride-by-wire system. On the Triumph naked we also find the multifunctional color TFT screen integrated with a black and white LCD display, as well as an engine immobilizer integrated inside the key.
