Triumph Trident 800 Launched in India at Rs. 10.95 Lakh: Design, Engine, Features and Rivals

Triumph Motorcycles has introduced the Triumph Trident 800 in India at a starting price of Rs. 10.95 lakh (ex-showroom). The middleweight roadster sits above the Trident 660 in the company’s lineup and brings a larger engine, more power and advanced rider-assistance technology.

The motorcycle has reached select Indian dealerships ahead of an official launch announcement from Triumph India. It uses a 798cc, three-cylinder engine that produces 115hp and 84Nm of torque.

The Trident 800 also features cornering ABS, traction control, three riding modes and cruise control, making it a new option in India’s premium naked-bike segment.

Triumph Trident 800: Muscular Roadster Styling

The Triumph Trident 800 follows the brand’s modern roadster design language, with a muscular fuel tank, a round LED headlamp and a compact rear section. A small flyscreen sits above the headlamp, while the sculpted tank and two-piece seat give the motorcycle a sporty profile. Triumph has also added a colour-matched belly pan and an upswept side-mounted exhaust that enhances its roadster appearance.

The bike comes in three colour options: Jet Black, Ash Grey with red detailing, and Carnival Red with contrasting graphite accents. Gold-finished alloy wheels add visual contrast to the bodywork. The motorcycle also gets all-LED lighting, self-cancelling indicators and a 3.5-inch colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. Its 810mm seat height aims to balance a sporty riding position with everyday usability.

Triumph Trident 800: 798cc Triple-Cylinder Power

The Triumph Trident 800 uses a 798cc, liquid-cooled, inline three-cylinder engine that produces 115PS at 10,750rpm and 84Nm of torque at 8,500rpm. The engine delivers power through a six-speed gearbox and features electronic throttle control for responsive acceleration. Triumph has also equipped the motorcycle with a slip-and-assist clutch and Triumph Shift Assist, which supports clutchless gear changes.

The three-cylinder configuration aims to deliver strong mid-range performance and a distinctive exhaust note. Riders can select Road, Sport and Rain modes to adjust throttle response and traction control according to riding conditions. With these features, the Trident 800 combines everyday usability with the performance expected from a premium middleweight roadster.

Triumph Trident 800: Suspension and Braking

The Triumph Trident 800 uses a steel perimeter frame with a Showa 41mm upside-down fork at the front and a Showa monoshock at the rear. Riders can adjust the front fork’s compression and rebound damping, while the rear suspension offers preload and rebound adjustment. This setup allows riders to tailor the motorcycle’s handling to different road conditions.

For braking, Triumph has fitted twin 310mm front discs with four-piston radial calipers and a 220mm rear disc. Lean-sensitive cornering ABS and traction control use information from a six-axis inertial measurement unit to help maintain control while cornering. The motorcycle weighs 198kg with fuel, and its 14-litre fuel tank supports everyday commuting and longer rides.

Triumph Trident 800: Price and Rivals

Triumph has priced the Trident 800 at Rs. 10.95 lakh for the Jet Black variant. The Ash Grey and Carnival Red versions cost Rs. 11.10 lakh (ex-showroom). Its main rival is the Triumph Street Triple R, while the Kawasaki Z900 also competes in the premium naked-bike segment.
