Triumph’s triple-cylinder bikes have always danced to the beat of their own drum. Smooth, torquey, and full of character, they offer something different from the usual twin or inline-four formula. The Trident 660 brought that same attitude into the middleweight naked segment when it launched in 2020, and now it’s back for 2025 with a fresh new look and a little extra flair, thanks to the new Triple Tribute Special Edition.
This latest version is a visual homage to “Slippery Sam,” the legendary Triumph Trident that won five consecutive Isle of Man TT races in the early ’70s. You get that racing DNA in the form of a slick Sapphire Black base, bold Cobalt Blue and Diablo Red accents, and a ‘67’ number graphic on the tank.
It’s one of the cleanest special edition paint jobs Triumph has done in a while—sporty, but not over-the-top. Red wheels, a color-matched flyscreen, and a sculpted belly pan help round out the aesthetic and give it even more presence.
