Triumph has officially pulled the wraps off its all-new Triumph Trident 800, a machine engineered to upstage everything in its class. The Trident 800 brings serious performance, rider-focused tech, and unmistakable British attitude to the streets. It’s an evolution, aimed at those who demand more than entry-level thrill without crossing into liter-bike overkill.
Powered by an all-new 798cc triple engine, the Triumph Trident 800 produces 113.4 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and 61.9 lb-ft of torque at 8,500 rpm. It’s raw and refined, serving up that signature Triumph triple howl thanks to redesigned air intakes and a sporty upswept silencer. A twist-forged crankshaft, high-compression pistons, forged connecting rods, and a bespoke camshaft ensure the internals are as impressive as the specs suggest. And with triple throttle bodies feeding it, throttle response is instant and exhilarating.
Triumph’s ambition with the Trident 800 was clear: deliver a visceral ride that’s approachable yet potent. It’s the next step up for Trident 660 riders hungry for more muscle and agility, and an alternative to the Street Triple 765 RS for those focused on road use rather than track-dominated aggression. The 11,500 rpm redline confirms it—this is a motor that wants to be revved, ridden hard, and kept screaming.
Triumph Trident 800: Aggression Meets Intelligence
Weighing in at just 437 pounds fully fueled, the Triumph Trident 800 dances on the line between stability and flickability. Its high-spec adjustable Showa suspension—41mm USD front forks and a preload/rebound adjustable rear monoshock—delivers dynamic handling with a plush ride. The wide handlebars and aggressive ergonomics keep you locked in while attacking corners, and twin 310 mm discs with 4-piston radial calipers up front provide precise, progressive braking performance.
Rider-focused technology elevates the experience even further. The Triumph Trident 800 comes loaded with lean-sensitive Optimized Cornering ABS and Traction Control, three Rider Modes (Sport, Road, Rain), and Triumph Shift Assist for clutchless upshifts and downshifts. Cruise control and My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity ensure that comfort and convenience never take a backseat to adrenaline.
A 3.5-inch full-color TFT screen delivers crystal-clear information at a glance, while self-canceling LED indicators, a distinctive round LED headlamp, and a stealthy integrated taillight complete the premium lighting suite. It’s all part of Triumph’s mission to blend style, safety, and sophistication seamlessly into one bold package.
Visually, the Triumph Trident 800 hits like a gut punch—sharp, muscular, and unapologetically butt naked. From the sculpted 3.7-gallon tank to the short tail unit, every element is designed to command attention. The gold-finished aluminum wheels contrast brilliantly against three factory color options: Ash Grey with Diablo Red, Carnival Red with Graphite, and full Jet Black.
Owners can further personalize the look and sound with Triumph’s full range of accessories, including a titanium-wrapped Akrapovič silencer with carbon fiber end cap.
Triumph Trident 800: Real-World Ready, Performance Tuned
The Triumph Trident 800 delivers thrilling performance without sacrificing day-to-day usability. With a 31.9-inch seat height, narrow stand-over, and class-leading 10,000-mile service intervals, this is a bike made to be ridden—not babied.
Starting at $9,995 USD and arriving in U.S. dealerships in April 2026, the Trident 800 offers a value proposition that’s as aggressive as its torque curve.
Steve Sargent, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer, summed it up perfectly, “This bike is for riders who want maximum excitement, anytime, anywhere.”
