The modern Triumph Trident 660 debuted for model year 2021 with a name brought back to commemorate Triumph’s first triple-cylinder motorcycle launched in 1968. A racing Trident called “Slippery Sam” claimed five consecutive Isle of Mann Production TT wins from 1971-1975, and this Tribute version for 2025 pays special homage to the Trident’s racing history.

2021 Triumph Trident 660 Lands in India

From Britain to India

The greatly anticipated and highly praised Triumph Trident 660 is coming to India! If you are an Indian rider and are looking to get your hands on some British middle-weight firepower, Triumph has announced that preorders are now open (fully refundable, as well) for a fee of Rs 50,000. 

Triumph has also mentioned that they will be offering special financing options allowing for riders to get on an equated monthly installment plan of Rs 9,999 for five months.  This financing plan will only be available for a limited time through Indian dealers, though. 

This entry-priced hoon-machine will be powered by Trump’s brand-spankin’ new 660cc inline-three motorcycle producing 89 horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque. 

If the naked styling of the Trident isn’t your thing though, be patient and wait out the storm. Rumor has it that Triumph has a few other motorcycles planned around this 660cc engine configuration and we will likely see an entry-level ADV bike and perhaps even a full-fairing sportbike. Only time will tell.

Regardless, this motorcycle was designed to compete with the likes of Yamaha’s MT-07 among other Japanese mid-displacement naked motorcycles and the pricing reflects that. If you’re trying to get onto a British manufactured naked motorcycle, the Triumph Trident is your best bet.
