Triumph Trident 660 — Overview
At Rs 8,99,000, the Triumph Trident 660 gives you something no Japanese rival can match: a 660cc inline-triple engine that pulls smoothly from low revs, builds with genuine urgency to its 80 bhp peak at 10,250 rpm, and makes an intake note that twins and fours simply cannot replicate. The 2025 update doubled down on value - the bi-directional quickshifter, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and a new Sport riding mode are now all standard. That's four features which used to cost extra, now included at no additional charge. Against the Kawasaki Z650 (parallel-twin, cheaper, but less tech) and the Honda CB650R (inline-four, more expensive, more clinical), the Trident 660 occupies a genuinely interesting position: approachable enough for someone upgrading from a 300-400cc bike, engaging enough to keep an experienced rider entertained. The 189 kg kerb weight and 805 mm seat height make it one of the most manageable bikes in its class - and the Michelin Road 5 tyres and Showa USD forks that come as standard confirm that Triumph did not cut corners to hit the price.
Triumph Trident 660 Latest Updates
View allThe 2026 Triumph Trident 660 was unveiled globally on January 20, 2026 with a significantly upgraded 660cc inline-triple engine producing 94 bhp at 11,250 rpm and 68 Nm at 8,250 rpm - a gain of 14 bhp over the current India-spec 2025 model - along with three individual 44mm throttle bodies, a revised frame, new bodywork with a wider sculpted fuel tank, and a Showa rear shock with preload and rebound adjustment. As of May 2026, Triumph India has not confirmed an India launch date or price for the 2026 specification.
Triumph showcased the updated 2025 Trident 660 at India Bike Week 2025 in Goa in November 2025, giving prospective buyers and media the opportunity to test the new Sport mode and Showa Big Piston forks on a dedicated ride route. The showcased model was the same specification launched in July 2025 at Rs 8.49 lakh.
Triumph India launched the updated 2025 Trident 660 on July 7, 2025 at Rs 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom), adding a bi-directional quickshifter, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and a new Sport riding mode as standard features - all previously optional extras. The front suspension was also upgraded to Showa Big Piston SFF forks.
What We Like
- Smooth, refined inline-triple engine - accessible power delivery that rewards both city riding and highway stints
- Lightweight at 189 kg with an 805 mm seat height that most riders can manage without tiptoeing
- 2025 update adds quickshifter, cruise control, Bluetooth, and Sport mode as standard - no extras to spec up
- Premium Showa USD forks and Michelin Road 5 tyres straight from the showroom floor
What Could Be Better
- Ride quality is stiff - broken city roads and mid-speed potholes are felt more than on rivals
- Vibrations above 7,500 rpm on sustained highway runs can cause fatigue over long distances
- Service costs and spare parts are pricier than Japanese middleweight rivals
Editor's Verdict
Should You Buy the Triumph Trident 660?
The Triumph Trident 660 is arguably the best value proposition in the 600-700cc middleweight segment in India today. Three cylinders, genuine Triumph pedigree, and a 2025 update that addressed almost every previous complaint - quickshifter, cruise control, Bluetooth, all bundled at Rs 8,99,000. The stiff suspension and higher running costs are real trade-offs, but if you are stepping into a big bike for the first time or simply want a daily rider that does not bore you, the Trident 660 deserves to be at the top of your shortlist.
