2025 Triumph Trident 660: What's New?
The 2025 Trident 660 retains the same neo-retro design, but Triumph has added three new dual-tone paint schemes to make it look fresher and relevant; Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Diablo Red, all with Sapphire Black treatment. Everything else remains identical in terms of the Trident 660's design.
A bigger change has taken place in the equipment list. The Trident 660 now comes with electronic rider aids as standard, such as a six-axis IMU, cruise control, cornering ABS, traction control, and a bi-directional quickshifter. Earlier available with Road and Rain ride modes, Triumph has now added a new 'Sport' ride mode, in order to squeeze out some more performance from the three-cylinder powertrain.
The braking and suspension hardware on the Trident 660 remains unchanged for the most part. However, the front forks have now been upgraded to 41mm Showa SFF big-piston units, which continue to be non-adjustable. The rear monoshock does receive pre-load adjustability. It also retains Michelin Road 5 tyres, along with the Nissin brakes; 310mm twin-discs with dual-piston sliding callipers up front, along with a 255mm disc with a single-piston sliding calliper at the rear.
The powertrain continues to remain the same as before; a 660cc, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder unit, producing 81bhp at 10,250rpm, and 64Nm of torque at 6250rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
With global sales to begin from December 2024, we can expect Triumph Motorcycles to bring in the updated Trdent 660 in early 2025, with a slight price hike to justify the addition of the rider aids.
Verdict
The addition of electronic rider aids and cruise control to the Trident 660 will certainly help its case, as it continues to be among the more popular bikes from Triumph. The case for cruise control, however, could also be extended to the Tiger Sport 660, which is more focused on touring, and it could receive this in the future.
