Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Trident 800 2026

The Triumph Trident 800 remains true to the Trident idea: accessible, uncomplicated, fun to ride - just noticeably more grown-up. The new 798cc triple delivers elasticity, the standard quickshifter works first-class, and the overall package of suspension, tyres, electronics and ergonomics makes the Trident 800 a bike that is light-footed in the city and smooth on the country road. In addition, there is a very good finish and a design that is clearly recognisable as a Trident - with a little more bullishness and a licence plate holder that is a topic for discussion.

Resilient, powerful three-cylinder engine

Quickshifter as standard and excellently setup

Successful ergonomics for many body sizes

Balanced suspension with a good everyday/sport compromise

Good tyres ex works (Michelin Road 6)

Brakes with good modulation

Extensive standard equipment

Stable even at motorway speeds

High-quality workmanship and successful Trident design

Display visually not quite premium

Tank fairing prone to scratches (tank pad recommended)

Clutch lever not adjustable

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2026

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE combines strong character with real versatility. It looks great, sounds fantastic, convinces on the road and gravel, but demands respect in handling and behaviour. Not an all-rounder for everyone, but a special niche bike with a lot of personality and a not inconsiderable price.

superb engine

beautiful to look at

full electronics package that can be completely deactivated if required

sublime riding experience, good bike for tall people

customisable ergonomics

pleasingly low fuel consumption and emissions

sound as bassy as ever

Exhaust heat still noticeable

original equipment tyres not up to standard

high centre of gravity

limited steering angle

sluggish direction changes

limited ergonomics when standing

sensitive in the event of a rollover
