Triumph has expanded its middleweight lineup for 2026 with the all-new Trident 800. Slotting above the existing Trident 660, the 800 introduces an entirely new 798cc inline-three engine, which is claimed to produce 113 hp at 10,750 rpm and 62 lb-ft of torque at 8500 rpm, placing the Trident 800 in close competition with the Yamaha MT-09, Suzuki GSX-8S and Kawasaki Z900.
The chassis features a tubular steel frame paired with a 41mm Showa SFF-BP Showa fork up front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by dual front discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers, cornering ABS and multi-level traction control as standard.
Triumph has also taken a noticeable step forward with the eider interface. A new TFT display provides access to riding modes, turn-by-turn navigation, smartphone integration and optional quickshifter settings. Ergonomically the Trident is neutral and comfortable, with a slightly more aggressive riding position compared to the 660, aimed at making the bike both approachable and engaging on twisty roads.
The Trident 800 keeps a clean look to the design with a classic round headlight and neat bellypan and cool gold five spoke wheels.
Pricing will see the Trident come in under the magic $10K mark at $9,995 and Triumph is aiming for delivers to dealers to at the start of Spring next year.
As a result of the Trident being boosted to 798cc, the Street Triple 765 R will no longer be on sale. Triumph will continue the Street Triple 765 RS for its supersport platform.
