The 2022 Triumph Trident 660 Is the Most Affordable Model in the British Manufacturer’s Portfolio
Contents
In late 2020, Triumph Motorcycles took the wraps off the Trident 660, an all-new, entry-level street-naked that was designed to make the British manufacturer more accessible to the masses. The new 660cc platform has since spawned another model, the Tiger Sport 660, and acts as an excellent entry point into the 2022 Triumph Motorcycle lineup.
As its name suggests, the Trident 660 features a 660cc inline-triple, producing 80hp and 47 lb-ft of torque. Triumph has mentioned that it has tuned this engine to act as the “perfect combination of punchy linear power and torque, low down and across the whole rev range.”
The Trident features two riding modes (Road and Rain), ride-by-wire throttle, and adjustable traction control. You also can turn traction control off if you’re looking to have some rear-wheel spinning fun. There’s also a fully-digital instrument cluster that you can equip with the optional Bluetooth module. This will give you access to turn-by-turn navigation and GoPro, phone, and music control.
Suspension hardware includes a Showa inverted fork and preload-adjustable mono-shock. As for the brakes, it uses a Nissin two-piston front caliper and a single-piston rear caliper.
The Trident 660 sits below the more expensive, better equipped Street Triple models in the manufacturer’s ‘Roadster’ line and is a great, affordable everyday motorcycle with more relaxed ergonomics.
The 2022 Triumph Trident 660 starts at $8,395 USD / $9,695 CAD.

2022 Triumph Trident 660 Features
THRILLING TRIPLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE
In terms of ride quality, there’s an effortless feel to the Trident 660. Its smooth slick 6-speed gearbox was optimized for fun and rideability, while the slip and assist clutch provides a light action clutch that reduces rider fatigue, allowing you to enjoy riding this remarkable bike for even longer.
CATEGORY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY AS STANDARD
The display was designed specifically for the optional My Triumph Connectivity system that enables turn-by-turn navigation, GoPro control, plus phone and music interaction via the switchgear – all clearly displayed on the TFT screen.
The new Trident 660 benefits from category-leading rider electronics, including Road and Rain riding modes, which adjust the bike’s throttle and traction control maps for maximum rider control (with Rain mode bringing a softer map for improved safety), ride-by-wire throttle for crisp, precise throttle response, switchable traction control which manages power and torque when traction is compromised and Triumph’s latest generation ABS for additional rider safety.
Full LED lighting produces better performance for maximum rider safety. The new distinctively-styled 7” LED headlight was uniquely designed for the Trident 660, while the compact and integrated rear light was contoured to the shape of the tail unit. Self-cancelling LED indicators add to the Trident 660’s high level of rider convenience (local market restrictions may apply).
AGILE, SPORTY & CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING RIDE
As soon as you get onto this bike you’ll notice the relaxed riding ergonomics, because everything about the Trident 660 is designed to be your perfect everyday ride. The comfortable and practical twin seat has an accessible seat height of 31.69 in (805 mm), while the bike’s narrow width encourages a confidence-inspiring standing position with easy access to foot pegs, and a span-adjustable brake lever offers additional longer-ride comfort.
The Trident 660’s superior combination of suspension, tires, and brakes brings a comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride, including:
High-specification Showa suspension system (black upside down front forks with 4.72 in (120 mm) front wheel travel, and preload adjustable monoshock rear suspension unit delivering 5.25 in (133.5 mm) travel)
Versatile Michelin ‘Road 5’ tires fitted as standard ensuring performance and confidence in wet and dry conditions
Great stopping power from the Nissin braking system (2-piston sliding front calipers with twin 310 mm discs and single rear caliper & disc)
INCREDIBLE VALUE
A class-leading service interval of 10,000 miles (or 12 months) also contributes to the incredibly low cost of ownership.
DISTINCTIVE STYLE
The bike is styled with features that elevate the Trident 660’s distinctive good looks, including a 3.7 gallon fuel tank designed with sculpted knee cut-outs, five-spoke black wheels cast in lightweight aluminum, and a minimalist rear end with swingarm-mounted license plate hanger and rear indicators. Contrasting painted radiator cowls, yokes, and heel guards, plus body-colored fork protectors, tapered aluminum handlebars, and teardrop-shaped mirrors all add to the exceptional level of finish on this bike.
Premium Triumph branding adds outstanding finishing touches. An inset aluminum Trident 660 badge with diamond-machined effect lettering is complemented by a machined Triumph badge on the fuel filler cap, a Triumph badge on the headlight and taillight, Triumph-branded handlebar clamp, and Triumph branding on the bike’s TFT instrument display face.(market restrictions may apply).
Accordion Title
Triumph Genuine Accessories include a two-year unlimited mileage warranty as standard.
