It is uncommon to hear of a motorcycle model getting a price cut once the official MSRP has been announced. You'd imagine I was surprised, then, when I heard that that's exactly what's happening with the Triumph Trident 660 for 2026. But I wasn't. I was almost expecting it.
I wasn't expecting a price cut because the Trident 660 was bad. When I tested the bike earlier this year, I loved it and found it to be one of the best offerings in the middleweight naked space. The biggest, bordering on only, issue I had with the bike was that it was set to go on sale for $8,995 while its bigger, better sibling, the Trident 800, costs just $1,000 more.
