When Triumph first unveiled the Trident 660 back in 2020, it was the start of something new. Sure, you could say that the name 'Trident' was another badge that Triumph had neatly tucked away one day in its voluminous history, only to be revived decades later. While that's not untrue, that's also not the whole truth.
The 2021 Trident 660 boasted a clean, modern styling aesthetic that was both sporty and yet somehow, also inviting. Not intimidating, which is good because it was aimed squarely at newer riders. It's not a beginner bike, not exactly, but it's also not a hair-raising, barn-burning track monster. It's somewhere in the middle, which is precisely where it wants to be.
