I did not know what to anticipate when Triumph invited me out to check the all-new Trident 800 in Alicante, Spain. However I knew I felt unhappy that the Street Triple R had given up its place within the model’s lineup to make method for the brand new mannequin. Nonetheless, I am unable to inform you how rapidly I forgot about that challenge as soon as I acquired rolling on the attractive, though damp and typically soaked, roads across the area, as you will see within the overview.
Powering the Trident 800 is a 798cc inline triple pumping out 113 hp and 61.9 lb-ft of torque, and it could not be extra in tune with what Triumph thinks individuals who need the Trident will want.
