Before we start, in the interest of full disclosure, I've already made it perfectly clear in these RideApart pages how I feel about my own Street Triple. I love that thing down to the ground, even though it's a bit beat up. It's just such a fantastic bike, and I still don't think I've truly ever gelled with another motorcycle as quickly as I did that one.
And now, Triumph has gone and done what it seems like a lot of people were hoping for, and it's introduced a more powerful new member of the Trident family.
This is the all-new 2026 Triumph Trident 800, which also boasts a completely new 798cc triple engine with bore and stroke of 78.0mm x 55.7mm and a compression ratio of 13.2 to one. Claimed peak horsepower is 113 at 10,750 rpm, alongside top torque of 61.9 lb-ft at 8,500 rpm. Naturally, it has a six-speed gearbox outfitted with Triumph Shift Assist.
