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

BMW F 800 R 2017

With a EURO4 engine, new riding modes, new instruments and new colours, the F 800 R starts the new season. It is recognisable at first glance only by the end cap on the stately stainless steel exhaust. It is one of those full-grown motorbikes that, despite its considerable sporting potential, was designed for the widest possible user group. Therefore, it is absolutely beginner-friendly (throttled), but can also inspire an experienced audience. Its character remains somewhat pragmatic, but the unmistakable, hollow sound of the inline two compensates for this.

strong brakes

upgraded equipment

low weight

accessible geometry

characteristic sound

somewhat pragmatic

effervescence is a little lacking
