2025 Triumph Trident 660: Here are 5 things you should know about the naked roadster
The new Triumph Trident 660 gets a muscular appearance with its sculpted tank design. Triumph Motorcycles has launched the 2025 Trident 660 in India, with prices starting at ₹ 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated model stays true to the Trident's original formula, an easy-to-ride, middleweight naked roadster with retro-inspired design, but introduces several improvements that make it more appealing to everyday riders and enthusiasts alike. Here's a closer look at the five most important highlights of the refreshed Trident 660: 4 New paint shades and pricing Visually, the Trident gets a fresh dose of style with three new dual-tone colour options, Cosmic Yellow with Sapphire Black, Diablo Red with Sapphire Black, and Cobalt Blue with Sapphire Black, joining the existing Jet Black scheme. These new colourways not only elevate the bike's street presence but also reflect a more premium visual identity. While the Jet Black version is priced at ₹ 8.49 lakh, the dual-tone variants carry a slightly higher price tag of ₹ 8.64 lakh. The ₹ 37,000 hike over the outgoing model is justified by the newly standard equipment and added refinement. 5 Engine and performance Underneath the updated styling and new features, the Trident 660 continues with its proven 660cc inline three-cylinder engine. This powerplant produces 80 bhp at 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The bike weighs 190 kg with fluids, has a 14-litre fuel tank, and rides on Michelin Road 5 tyres that offer all-weather grip. With a seat height of 805 mm, the Trident remains friendly for a wide range of riders, offering a neutral upright riding position that's comfortable for both commuting and weekend adventures.
