Triumph Trident 800 2026: New Naked Triple Unveiled

With the new Trident 800, Triumph introduces another naked bike to the mid-range segment. Positioned above the Trident 660, it remains focused on road, urban, and sporty-direct handling. Featuring a 798cc triple-cylinder engine, modern assistance systems, and a wet weight under 200 kg, it promises to deliver "maximum excitement for everyday use"—in their own words: Made to Upstage.

At the heart of the new Trident 800 is the inline triple-cylinder engine with 798cc and three individual throttle bodies, already featured in the Tiger Sport 800. This design aims to deliver particularly direct throttle response and, according to Triumph, ensures "maximum interaction." The engine produces 115 hp at 10,750 rpm, with a peak torque of 84 Nm at 8,500 rpm.

The engine design is exceptionally high-quality for this class: featuring forged pistons, balancer shafts, high compression (13.3:1), and a three-part airbox system with direct airflow. All of this is engineered to deliver high torque in the mid-range with a rev-happy character at the top end. The maximum revs top out at 11,500 rpm. Sound-wise, Triumph aims for the distinctive Trident tone, achieved through a newly designed air intake and a short, sporty 2-into-1 exhaust system with a high-mounted muffler.

The Triumph Trident 800 2026 is designed to stay nimble with a ready-to-ride weight of 198 kg. The new frame features a sleek layout focused on agility. The steering head angle is sportily steep, keeping the bike compact with a short wheelbase. Up front, it sports a 41 mm Showa upside-down fork with separate function damping (SFF-BP). At the rear, a Showa monoshock is fitted, adjustable for preload and rebound damping. The shock is mounted in a direct linkage—a classic roadster setup without a linkage system.

Braking Technology: Two radially mounted four-piston calipers at the front, 310 mm dual discs, and a single disc at the rear. Steel braided lines come standard. Tire sizes: classic sporty - 120/70 ZR17 at the front, 180/55 ZR17 at the rear. The stock tires are Michelin Road 5, designed for sport touring with an emphasis on wet grip and everyday performance.

Triumph equips the Trident 800 with a comprehensive electronics package as standard:

• Three Riding Modes: Rain, Road, Sport
• Optimised Cornering ABS
• Optimised Cornering Traction Control
• Triumph Shift Assist (Quickshifter for up and downshifts)
• Cruise Control
• My Triumph Connectivity via Bluetooth
• 3.5-inch TFT Round Display
• LED Lighting System including daytime running lights, self-cancelling indicators, and integrated taillight

This ensures the Trident 800 meets nearly all the demands of a modern, upper-middle-class naked bike. The compact display follows the style of the Trident 660, as it is essentially the same unit. Connectivity through the My Triumph App allows for music control, call management, and navigation, all operable via the left-hand switchgear.

With a wide handlebar, upright seating position, and tight knee grip, the Trident 800 is designed for sporty agility in everyday use. The seat height is 810 mm, comparable to the Trident 660's 805 mm. According to Triumph, the bike is meant to react spontaneously, flip quickly, and perform well in twisties. The pillion seat is significantly shortened, emphasizing the dominant rider position. The tank holds 14 liters, which, combined with the engine tuning, should offer a practical range.

Visually, Triumph stays true to its minimalist roadster line. The Trident 800 appears compact, focused, and streamlined. Particularly striking are the:

• flat tank-seat silhouette
• short, upswept tail section
• wide fork bridges and sporty handlebar clamp
• compact LED round headlight
• color-matched belly pan and flyscreen

The cast wheels in gold, which remain gold with every paint option, create striking contrasts—especially combined with the Jet Black paint for a cohesive look. The available color options are:

• Ash Grey / Diablo Red
• Carnival Red / Graphite
• Jet Black / Gold Wheels

With a starting price of 9,695 Euros in Germany and 11,295 Euros in Austria, Triumph positions the Trident 800 clearly below the Street Triple 765 RS. This makes the new mid-range naked bike attractively priced despite its extensive features—especially compared to competing models with similar technology. The market launch is scheduled for April 2026, and pre-orders are already possible according to Triumph.
