A more powerful triple-cylinder engine
The Trident and the Tiger Sport are now fitted with the higher-performance version of the 660 cc triple that does duties in the Daytona 660 sportsbike. This results in a claimed 13 bhp gain, amounting to 93.7 bhp at 11,250 rpm and 68 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Triumph adds that 80 per cent of the total torque output is available right from 3,000 rpm to nearly 12,000 rpm. For a better top-end, the bikes now redline 20 per cent higher at 12,650 rpm.

This upgrade in performance comes from a range of mechanical changes. When developing this power unit, Triumph made the move to three individual throttle bodies from one, meaning one for each cylinder. This was paired with a larger front-mounted airbox, resulting in sharper throttle response and improved airflow. The cylinder head was tweaked with larger exhaust valves and a higher-lift cam profile. To handle the newfound power, the cooling system was also upgraded with a larger radiator and fan.
These changes are rounded off by a new engine tune that sees throttle calibration updated for smoother openings at low-RPMs. Triumph has also thrown in a new 3-into-1 exhaust header design and tweaked the 6-speed transmission with new gear shafts, alongside revised ratios and final drive. The quickshifter has also been updated for smoother gear changes.
2026 Triumph Trident 660:
The 2026 Trident 660 gets major chassis and hardware revisions. It features a revised frame and a new Showa RSU with preload and rebound adjustability alongside the existing Showa 41 mm USD big-piston front forks. This enhances the roadster’s flexibility and allows riders to make deeper levels of adjustments.
The Trident 660 rides on cast aluminium wheels wrapped in Michelin Road 5 tyres and fitted with twin 310 mm discs and Nissin 2-pot calipers. The motorcycle continues to feature a low seat height of 810 mm and a low wet weight of 195 kg.
On the design front, it gets a new headlight, a redesigned fuel tank with knee cut-outs, and a new split-seat.
2026 Tiger Sport 660:
Triumph’s updates to the Tiger Sport 660 build on its sport touring capabilities. It gets a larger 18.6 litre fuel tank, alongside new radiator cowls and a refined front fascia for better wind protection on the highways. This is separate from the windscreen, which can be adjusted one-handedly between two settings.
The Tiger Sport 660 is equipped with 41 mm Showa USD separate-function front forks and a pre-load adjustable rear monoshock, both offering 150 mm of travel. It rides on the same wheel and braking hardware as the Trident, while weighing 211 kg (wet) with a higher 835 mm seat height.
Both motorcycles get new colours and come fitted with Triumph’s TFT-LCD cluster, featuring turn-by-turn navigation, music, and call control. They further feature a 6-axis IMU that underpins the electronic aids and provides features such as cornering traction control and ABS.
