Triumph Trident 800 2026

Triumph Trident 800 2026

The Triumph Trident 800 remains true to the Trident concept: accessible, straightforward and fun to ride – but noticeably more mature than its 660cc sister model. The new 798cc three cylinder engine delivers smooth power delivery, the standard quickshifter works a treat, and the overall package of suspension, tyres, electronics and ergonomics makes the Trident 800 a bike that’s nimble in town and composed on country roads. Added to this is excellent build quality and a design that’s clearly recognisable as a Trident – with a slightly more muscular look and a number plate holder that’s sure to spark debate.

Responsive, powerful three cylinder engine

Quickshifter fitted as standard and superbly set up

Excellent ergonomics to suit a wide range of rider heights

Well-balanced suspension offering a good compromise between everyday riding and sport riding

Good tyres fitted as standard (Michelin Road 6)

Brakes are easy to modulate

Extensive standard equipment

Stable even at motorway speeds

High-quality finish and stylish Trident design

The display doesn’t look quite as premium as it could

Fuel tank cover is prone to scratches (tank pad recommended)

Clutch lever is not adjustable
