Triumph Trident enters final road testing
Official photographs of the new Triumph Trident in action suggest a full reveal is imminentThe all-new Triumph Trident has entered the final stages of testing, with the production version of the middleweight roadster set to hit dealer floors in the first quarter of 2021.
While a prototype model was revealed in August, recent photography from Triumph’s Hinckley base show the near-finished product during its final road test phase. It was clad in a camouflage test livery, which was a little more revealing than the prototypes all-white paint scheme.

A full reveal of the new model is imminent, but punters can expect a triple-cylinder roadster, with class-leading technology and an affordable price tag.
The Trident is expected to meet Australia’s LAMS requirements, meaning will not exceed a 660cc engine capacity.
Triumph’s current entry-level roadster is the Street Triple S, which is classed as a 660cc machine. The Trident could potentially borrow attributes from the Street Triple S, but Triumph assures us it is a completely new machine.
One major distinction is that the Trident will use a steel main frame as opposed to the Street Triple’s sportier aluminium frame.
While pricing has not been announced, Triumph has hinted at the Trident being its most affordable model yet. The Street Triple S checks in at $14,900 ride away, so the Trident could fall below that.
