Triumph’s popular 660 range receives significant updates for 2026, though Australian riders will only have access to LAMS-restricted versions as 800 models fill the full-power gap.
The 2026 Trident 660 checks in from $14,890 rideaway, up $440 compared to the outgoing model. Meanwhile, the new Tiger Sport 660 arrives from $16,270, translating to a $370 price increase.
Triumph has announced major updates to its 660 road-focused range, with the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 receiving their most significant upgrades to date. While the Trident 660 was previously available in full-power guise, the 2026 version will only be in learner-approved LAMS configuration, as the new Trident 800 ($16,695) likely renders the unrestricted 660 roadster redundant in this market. Similarly, fully licensed riders may opt for the Tiger Sport 800 ($20,190) over its LAMS-approved stablemate.
The 2026 Tiger Sport 660 produces 43.2kW at 11,250rpm and 60Nm at 6250rpm, while the Trident 660 generates 41.2kW at 11,250rpm and 60.7Nm at 6250rpm.
Despite the restricted power outputs, Australian buyers still benefit from the updated hardware including the revised exhaust system with 3-into-1 header design, updated six-speed gearbox with new input and output shafts, revised gear ratios and final drive, plus recalibrated Triumph Shift Assist (up/down quickshifter). A new slip and assist clutch reduces lever effort and improves control.
The Trident 660 gains a more muscular stance with redesigned bodywork including a wider fuel tank with chiselled knee cut-outs and a new split rider and pillion seat. A new headlight mount and updated headlight enhance the bike’s presence.
Chassis updates include a revised frame and new Showa rear suspension unit with preload and rebound adjustment, joining the premium Showa 41mm USD big piston forks. New wider handlebars for 2026 offer greater leverage and comfort.
Technology includes ride-by-wire throttle with three riding modes (Sport, Road and Rain), optimised cornering ABS and traction control via a six-axis IMU, Triumph Shift Assist for clutchless shifting, and cruise control as standard. A colour TFT display combines with an LCD screen, with MyTriumph Connectivity enabling turn-by-turn navigation, music and call control.
Colour options include Cosmic Yellow, Stone Grey (premium options), and Snowdonia White as standard.
The Tiger Sport 660 introduces a larger 18.6-litre fuel tank for increased touring range, along with new bodywork including updated radiator cowls for improved weather protection. The adjustable windscreen can be easily adjusted with one hand, varying height from 1312mm to 1395mm.
New radiator cowls and a refined front-end design create a more substantial presence with angular side profile and clean lines. The bike maintains its accessible ergonomics and low seat height.
Premium Showa suspension includes separate function USD forks with 150mm travel at the front, paired with a Showa monoshock at the rear offering 150mm travel and remote preload adjustment for quick changes when riding two-up or fully loaded.
The Tiger Sport 660 features the same technology package as the Trident 660, including optimised cornering ABS and traction control, Triumph Shift Assist, cruise control, and MyTriumph Connectivity.
Colour schemes include Interstellar Blue with Mineral Grey, Silver Ice with Intense Orange (both premium options), and Pure White as standard.
