Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 790 Duke 2026
The 2027 KTM 790 Duke isn’t a completely new bike, but it feels like a much-needed fresh start. The familiar twin-cylinder engine delivers 95 Horsepower – more than enough power for country roads – the new WP suspension suits its sporty character, the brakes are finely modulated and the ergonomics have been noticeably improved. The unpainted decals show that this bike was developed with a focus on cost-effectiveness. And taller riders should check the knee angle. However, these are not issues that detract from the overall package.
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.
