Triumph Trident 800 2026

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

Yamaha MT-09 2021

Yamaha MT-09 2021

The ingredients for the 2021 update are right: More power, more equipment, more electronics, less weight. If you take a look at the key data of the latest MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a bit pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price. If you like the look, you can buy it without hesitation.

No more load change reactions

even more pressure from the centre

over-complete electronics package

great working quickshifter

comfortably integrated seating position

successful chassis

lively handling

enormous riding pleasure.

Polarising look

small TFT display

somewhat indirect front wheel feel

cruise control only available in SP variant
