Triumph Trident 600: Does India Really Need Another Middleweight?

Close-up of the Triumph Trident 600

If you’re someone who can’t resist a triple-cylinder growl, chances are the Triumph Trident 600 has already popped up on your feed this week. After a series of not-so-subtle teasers on Triumph’s social channels, it’s now official — the Trident 600 is gearing up for an India entry. And if Triumph prices it smartly, this could be the sweet spot for riders who crave a mix of daily comfort and a bit of hooligan fun.

What’s New with the Triumph Trident 600?

For starters, the look is fresh but familiar. It wears a crisp white base with bold blue stripes and just enough red to remind you it’s British at heart. The overall vibe is clean — no weird panels, no fake vents — just a good-looking naked that shows off its muscle.

But the real story is inside that neat frame. Triumph’s known for its triples, and this one’s no different. The Trident 600 packs a 660cc inline-triple, good for 80 horses and 64 Nm of torque. Not mind-blowing figures on paper, but anyone who’s ever cracked open a Triumph triple knows it’s not about top-end bragging. It’s about that punchy mid-range that makes city overtakes and weekend rides grin-worthy.

Everyday Practical or Weekend Toy?

What makes the Triumph Trident 600 worth waiting for is how it balances daily practicality with that bit of edge. You get two riding modes — Rain for those sudden monsoon showers and Road for everything else. The TFT dash is clear and modern, the switchgear feels premium, and little things like the shift assist mean you can hammer through gears without smashing your ankle to bits in city traffic.

Safety? Sorted. Twin 310 mm front discs with ABS, plus traction control you can dial up or down. Suspension is Showa both ends, with adjustable preload at the back — so you can stiffen it up when you feel sporty or soften it for potholes.

Expected Triumph Trident 650 Price for India

There’s no official sticker yet, but expect the Triumph Trident 650 price to hover around the ₹8.50 lakh mark (ex-showroom). On-road numbers will dance a bit based on where you live. If they hit that ballpark, the Trident will undercut a few bigger bikes while still feeling more special than your average parallel-twin middleweight.

Good question. If you’re graduating from a smaller street bike and don’t want to jump straight to litre-class madness, the Trident makes sense. It’s simple, not intimidating, and you still get that delicious Triumph soundtrack. The only hitch is how well Triumph India supports it — but they’ve been stepping up with better dealer reach and after-sales in big cities.

The Trident is not here to blow your mind with mad specs. It’s here to tempt you off your current ride with just the right mix of charm, usability and style.

Final Word

So, does India need the Triumph Trident 600? Maybe not. But plenty of riders want it. And that’s enough reason for Triumph to bring it in — because sometimes, you buy a bike not just for your daily office run but for those few hours on a Saturday morning when you hit the starter and grin like a kid again.

If Triumph nails the price and parts support, the Trident could be the triple that gets more riders hooked on that sweet, sweet three-cylinder symphony. Keep an eye out for the final launch — this one’s going to make choosing a middleweight a bit tougher for a lot of us.
