Triumph Reveals All New Trident 800: Made to Upstage

Triumph Motorcycles has revealed the all-new Trident 800, a brand new naked middleweight roadster designed to deliver exhilarating performance, dynamic urban attitude, and a high-energy riding experience. With its compact, muscular stance and stripped-back styling, the Trident 800 brings a bold new edge to Triumph’s roadster line-up.

With its responsive 798cc triple engine and triple throttle bodies, the Trident 800 offers addictive real-world performance that’s ready to thrill. From the instant throttle response, to the unrelenting mid-range torque and thrilling top-end power, the ride is both visceral and refined, backed by Triumph’s unmistakeable triple soundtrack channelled through the upswept sports-style silencer.

Built for serious fun, the Trident 800’s lightweight chassis and high specification adjustable Showa suspension deliver a high-energy riding experience with instinctive agility and confident control. Wide bars, a compact frame and assertive riding position combine to create a bike that reacts immediately to every input, flicks effortlessly through corners and stays composed at speed. Just 198kg fully fuelled, with grippy Michelin tyres, it’s light on its feet and always ready to deliver the grin factor.

The Trident 800 is equipped with intuitive, rider-focused technology designed to enhance every ride. Three riding modes tailor throttle response and traction control to suit the conditions, while lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Optimised Cornering Traction Control deliver confidence and control in every turn. With My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, and a clean and clear TFT dash, the Trident 800 keeps you dialled in and in the moment.

Blending rebellious energy with refined Triumph roadster DNA, its sculpted tank and trim tail create a lean, modern silhouette, while premium finishes, from brushed aluminium to bold colour schemes and contrasting gold-coloured wheels, amplify its dynamic presence. Whether parked kerbside or carving through city streets, the Trident 800 delivers a compelling blend of attitude, performance and precision.

Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: “The incredible popularity of the Trident 660 and the Street Triple 765 RS has shown us just how much riders in this segment value a thrilling, confidence-inspiring ride that’s packed with character and technology. With the launch of the Trident 800, we’ve taken that winning formula and dialled it up, delivering even more road-focused capability and excitement.”

“With the Trident 800, we’ve focused on delivering the kind of performance and character that riders want in the real world. The all-new engine with triple throttle bodies provides maximum engagement on everyday roads, and we’ve paired that with a lightweight, high-spec chassis and adjustable Showa suspension.

“We know this customer is looking for rider-focused technology like lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control, Triumph Shift Assist, and cruise control to enhance the riding experience without distracting from it. This bike is for riders who want maximum excitement, anytime, anywhere. This opens the door to a whole new audience of riders looking for a fun, adrenaline-fuelled, purposeful ride.”
