Triumph Trident Prototype

.  

Triumph showcased it's new design prototype, the Trident, at the London Design Museum.  The Trident will be an entry point into Triumph’s lineup of Triple motorcycles and is set to arrive in dealers in 2021.

The prototype took Triumph no fewer than four years to develop. The maker notably enrolled the services of Italian designer Rodolfo Frascoli - the man behind the new Tiger 900 and Suzuki Katana’s designs - to inject the new model with a bit of Italian flair.

The concept is powered by a three-cylinder engine.  It’s built around a triple engine which, Triumph says, brings ‘the perfect balance of low down torque and top end power’. Incorporating a new chassis, the Trident has been designed to give greater rider accessibility while providing good levels of comfort.

Steve Sargent, Triumph Chief Product Officer, said: “The Trident design prototype marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Triumph, where the brief was all about fun, from the look to the ride. With its pure minimalist form, clean lines, Triumph design DNA and more than a hint of our Speed Triple’s muscular poise, this gives the first exciting glimpse at the full Trident story to come.

“Ultimately our aim was to bring a new take on character and style, alongside the accessible easy handling and quality Triumph is known for – at a price that’s really competitive”.
