Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled a striking new special edition of its popular roadster, the Trident 660. This version celebrates the brand’s five victories at the iconic Isle of Man TT and brings with it a fresh design and a few additional features to set it apart from the standard model.
Design
The most eye-catching update on this special edition is its unique tri-colour paint scheme. The base coat is a clean white, overlaid with metallic blue stripes and subtle red streaks. Together, these elements give the bike a sporty, race-inspired appearance that pays tribute to Triumph’s racing legacy.
This paint job not only highlights the bike’s heritage but also distinguishes it clearly from the standard Trident 660, making it a likely hit with collectors and fans of the brand alike.
Added Features
Unlike the standard version, which offers certain accessories as optional add-ons, this special edition Trident 660 comes with a few of them factory-fitted. These include:
- Shift assist (quickshifter for seamless gear changes)
- Flyscreen (for improved aerodynamics and visual flair)
- Belly pan (which enhances the sporty character and adds slight underbody protection)
These additions make the bike more feature-rich straight from the showroom, saving buyers the effort and cost of sourcing these separately.
Engine and Hardware
Mechanically, there are no changes. The special edition retains the tried-and-tested 660cc inline-triple engine that makes 80 bhp and 64 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox and delivers a refined balance of power and usability, making it ideal for city rides and highway fun alike.
The bike continues to use a tubular steel perimeter frame, supported by a 41mm Showa USD fork at the front and a preload-adjustable Showa monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are handled by dual 310mm discs at the front and a single 255mm disc at the rear — both assisted by dual-channel ABS.
Tech and Ride Modes
In terms of features, the Trident 660 remains equipped with modern tech, including:
- Colour TFT instrument cluster
- Two ride modes: Road and Rain
- Switchable traction control
- Ride-by-wire throttle system
- LED lighting all around
These features offer a blend of safety, performance, and convenience, ensuring a premium riding experience that appeals to both new and experienced riders.
Price and India Launch
The standard Trident 660 is currently priced at Rs 8.25 lakh (ex-showroom). If Triumph decides to launch this special edition in India — which seems likely, given the growing interest in mid-capacity premium bikes — it could carry a slight premium over the standard model.
However, considering the added equipment and the unique paint scheme, that premium would likely be justified for enthusiasts looking for something a bit more exclusive.
