The Triumph Trident 660 was introduced in 2021 as an entry-level middleweight roadster designed to broaden Triumph's appeal to newer and younger riders. It revived the iconic 'Trident' name, which was last used on Triumph's legendary 1970s three-cylinder machines, bridging the brand's heritage with modern engineering. The Trident 660 was notable for offering genuine Triumph quality, a capable inline-three engine, and competitive pricing, making it one of the most accessible bikes in Triumph's modern lineup.

What Buyers Should Know
Solid Inline-Triple Engine
The 660cc triple-cylinder engine is derived from Triumph's proven Street Triple platform, giving it a strong reliability pedigree with relatively few reported mechanical issues at low mileage.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Some owners report rough idle and hesitation, often traced to throttle body synchronization or software mapping issues — worth checking on used examples and ensuring the latest ECU update has been applied.
Strong Resale Retention
The Trident 660 holds its value well in the middleweight segment due to high demand and Triumph's brand reputation, making it a smarter long-term investment than many competitor A2-license bikes.
Generations & Specs by Year
Initial launch with 660cc triple engine, A2 licence compliant, adjustable suspension, Showa forks, Nissin brakes.
Used Buyer Review
"Smart used buy for riders wanting real-world triple character without superbike stress."
$5,500-$7,500 usedThe Trident 660 is Triumph doing exactly what they're good at — taking a middleweight platform and making it feel like more than the sum of its parts. That inline triple pulls cleanly from low revs and has genuine character, something the Kawasaki Z650 crowd simply doesn't get. Used examples from 2021 onwards are generally solid, but check the throttle bodies for any rough idle issues and inspect fairings carefully since owners drop these in parking lots more than you'd think. Riding position is upright and comfortable for most body types, and the chassis feels planted without being boring. It's no superbike, but that's not the point. Where it earns its money is real-world rideability — filtering through traffic, weekend canyon carving, occasional commuting. The electronics package is basic but sufficient. Don't expect cornering ABS or multiple ride modes on early builds. At used prices these genuinely represent smart buying. Just verify service history religiously — valve clearances at 10,000 miles aren't cheap if the previous owner ignored them.
