Triumph Motorcycles has pulled the covers off a special edition of the Trident 660, created to celebrate its five historic victories at the Isle of Man TT. This new edition doesn’t mess with the winning formula mechanically but brings along a more eye-catching design and added equipment straight from the options list. It’s a subtle but classy upgrade to an already loved middleweight roadster.
Styling
What makes this special edition stand out instantly is the unique tri-colour paint job. The bike wears a base coat of white, adorned with metallic blue stripes and red highlights that sweep across the bodywork. It’s a combination that not only looks sporty but also pays homage to Triumph’s racing pedigree at the legendary TT races.
The bold graphics and color choice separate this edition clearly from the standard Trident 660, making it a great pick for riders who want something just a bit more special on the streets.
Add-Ons
Triumph hasn’t just painted the Trident differently—they’ve thrown in a few extras too. This special edition comes equipped with a flyscreen and a belly pan, parts that are typically sold as accessories on the regular Trident. It also gets Triumph’s shift assist system, which allows for clutchless upshifts and downshifts, adding an extra layer of convenience and fun, especially during sporty rides.
These additions might seem minor, but they enhance the bike’s character and appeal while giving buyers a bit more value.
Performance
Mechanically, the special edition remains unchanged, and that’s not a bad thing at all. The 660cc inline-three cylinder engine continues to pump out 80bhp and 64Nm of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed gearbox that now benefits from the included quickshifter system.
This engine is known for its smooth delivery, strong midrange, and unmistakable triple-cylinder sound that makes riding it addictive.
Here’s a quick overview of the key mechanical specs:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 660cc inline-triple |
| Power | 80bhp |
| Torque | 64Nm |
| Gearbox | 6-speed with shift assist |
| Front Suspension | 41mm Showa USD fork |
| Rear Suspension | Showa monoshock (preload adjustable) |
| Brakes (Front) | Twin 310mm discs |
| Brakes (Rear) | 255mm disc |
Features
The feature list stays the same, which means the special edition Trident continues to come with a dual-channel ABS system, traction control, a colour TFT display, and two ride modes—Rain and Road. These features make it approachable for new riders while still offering enough tech to keep experienced bikers entertained.
Pricing and Launch
Currently, the standard Triumph Trident 660 is priced from Rs 8.25 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. If Triumph decides to bring this special edition to Indian shores, expect it to carry a small premium. Given the additional features and paint scheme, it’s likely to appeal to both collectors and enthusiasts looking for a slightly unique version of a reliable street machine.
With Triumph’s strong presence in India and growing middleweight segment interest, this special edition could be a smart move if launched soon.
