Triumph Motorcycles is gearing up to launch the Trident 660 Special Edition in India. The company has confirmed the news through its official social media platforms, building excitement among enthusiasts and fans of the British brand. This new edition celebrates Triumph’s five wins at the legendary Isle of Man TT and brings some visual and functional upgrades to the popular middleweight street bike.
Styling
The standout feature of the Trident 660 Special Edition is its exclusive tri-colour paint scheme. It comes with a clean white base, accented with metallic blue stripes and subtle red streaks. This colourway pays homage to Triumph’s racing success and sets the special edition apart from the standard models.
Apart from the paint job, the Special Edition also gets a few factory-fitted accessories that are otherwise optional on the regular Trident. These include a small flyscreen up front, a belly pan underneath the engine, and Triumph’s Shift Assist quickshifter system for smoother gear changes.
Features
The Special Edition carries forward the same electronics suite found on the standard Trident 660. That includes:
- Dual-channel ABS
- Colour TFT instrument cluster
- Switchable traction control
- Two riding modes – Rain and Road
These features make the Trident 660 a user-friendly yet capable motorcycle for everyday use as well as spirited weekend rides.
Engine
There are no changes to the powertrain. The Trident 660 Special Edition continues to be powered by a 660cc inline three-cylinder engine. It produces 80bhp and 64Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The inclusion of the Shift Assist system makes clutchless upshifts and downshifts smoother and quicker—adding to the bike’s already engaging ride quality.
This engine configuration is known for its balance between low-end torque and high-revving performance, making it ideal for both urban riding and highway stretches.
Hardware
Under the skin, the motorcycle retains the same chassis and suspension setup as the standard model. It features a tubular steel frame, with a 41mm Showa upside-down fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear.
For braking, Triumph has equipped the bike with dual 310mm front discs and a single 255mm rear disc. These, combined with the dual-channel ABS, offer strong and confidence-inspiring braking performance.
Expected Price
Given the added features and unique styling, the Trident 660 Special Edition is expected to carry a slight premium over the standard version. While the regular Trident 660 is priced around Rs 8 lakh ex-showroom, the Special Edition could be launched at approximately Rs 8.50 lakh.
