Conclusion - what gets stuck

Fun! That is the key word that has stuck with us. The new Trident 660 feels like a down-ribbed street triple, but the gap isn't really big. The power of the 660 3-cylinder is impressive, but not scary. The whole bike is accessible, easy to ride and operate. You could almost say it's a perfect entry-level bike, but that doesn't do the Trident justice! It will also convince experienced bikers and is in the trend of downsizing, which is getting over more and more riders.

The Trident is available in the four colors "Crystal White", "Sapphire Black", "Matt Jet Black and Silver Ice" and "Silver Ice Diablo Red". The last two double colour variants cost 100 Euros extra. The machine can be equipped with various packages and accessories. There is also a Quickshifter (319 €), heating handles (235 €), A2 throttle kit (130 €) and various other parts(see configurator).
 
The test machine was kindly provided by the Triumph Flagship Store Q-Bike in Hamburg.
