If you’re hunting a mid‑weight naked that feels like a bike you can take to the office and still shred a track, the new Triumph Trident 800 is the first choice that fits the ₹10.95 lakh price tag.
Under the hood, a 798‑cc inline‑three churns out 115 hp at 10,750 rpm and 84 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm, while a six‑axis IMU powers lean‑sensitive ABS, traction control and cruise control.
The Street Triple R sits just ₹10 000 below, but the Trident carries a heavier 9 kg steel perimeter frame, a 41‑mm Showa upside‑down fork and a 3.5‑inch TFT, whereas the R boasts an aluminium twin‑spar frame, fully adjustable suspension and a larger 5‑inch display.
Dealerships in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru already received limited stock, but no official launch date has been released; buyers need to call ahead to confirm availability.
Triumph is expected to roll out an official launch announcement soon, so keep an eye on local dealerships for the next batch; until then, the Trident 800 sits on the shelf waiting for your test ride.
