The Triumph Trident 800 appears to have quietly made its way to India. While the bike is yet to appear on Triumph India’s website and the company has made no launch announcement, select dealerships have confirmed to us that they have limited stock of the model, which debuted globally late last year.
- Triumph Trident 800 price goes up to Rs 11.10 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on colour
- Powered by a 798cc inline-triple producing 115hp and 84Nm
- Gets a 6-axis IMU, cornering ABS, traction control and cruise control
Triumph Trident 800 India price and details
The Trident 800 is based on the same platform as the Tiger Sport 800
Unveiled last October, the Trident 800 is a new middleweight naked that sits above the Trident 660 in Triumph’s lineup. It is powered by the 798cc inline-triple from the Tiger Sport 800, producing 115hp at 10,750rpm and 84Nm at 8,500rpm.
The chassis comprises a steel perimeter frame, a Showa 41mm SFF-BP USD fork and a monoshock. Electronics include a six-axis IMU enabling lean-sensitive cornering ABS and traction control, three riding modes (Road, Sport and Rain), cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity for the 3.5-inch TFT display.
Of the three colour options – Jet Black, Ash Grey and Carnival Red – the black variant is priced at Rs 10.95 lakh, while the other two cost Rs 11.10 lakh (ex-showroom, India). At this price point, the Trident 800 is about Rs 10,000 more expensive than the Street Triple R in our market. While their performance figures are comparable on paper, the Trident is 9kg heavier, largely down to its steel perimeter frame, compared to the aluminium twin-spar unit on the Street Triple R. The latter also gets fully adjustable suspension and a larger 5-inch TFT display, compared to the 3.5-inch unit on the Trident 800.
It’s worth noting that not all the dealerships we contacted confirmed having stock, so availability may vary. We’d recommend checking with your nearest Triumph dealership before making the trip.
