If you have a 2022 Triumph Trident in your garage, you might want to check that the bike is still upright, as the British brand is recalling 314 units of the street bike because its sidestand might be prone to bending.
The defect stems from an incorrect raw material being used in the sidestand’s production, which can lead to it bend over time and could potentially cause the motorcycle to fall over when parked.
After a teaser campaign that left little to the imagination, the Triumph Trident 660 is finally here, and we we like what we see.
For those not in the know, the Trident 660 is a budget-focused middleweight from Triumph, with an emphasis on value – and we like what we see.
As the name implies, the bike features an 660cc three-cylinder engine (loosely based on the old 675cc triple, with over 60 new parts) that makes 80hp (60 kW) and 47 lbs•ft (64 Nm) of torque.
Boasting true linear power, 90% of that torque is available starting at 3,000 rpm, mind you. The Triumph Trident 660 also has a slip-assist clutch installed.
It looks like Triumph has a new three-cylinder machine for the 2021 model year, as the teaser campaign for the Triumph Trident has begun.
A quick look at the prototype being shown, and it is clear what Triumph’s intent is with reviving the Trident name: this is a budget-focused roadster.
