Triumph Unveil All-New Trident 800

Midweight 798cc Triple due in March 2026 for $16,695 ride‑away

Triumph has confirmed the Trident line will grow in 2026 with the arrival of the Trident 800, slotting into the modern mid-capacity class while retaining the neo‑retro attitude that made the 660 such a hit. It brings a larger triple, more tech and a familiar, clean roadster stance, and it’s slated to land in Australian dealerships in March 2026 priced at $16,695 ride‑away.

At the centre of the new bike is a 798 cc three‑cylinder engine with triple throttle bodies presented as ‘all-new’, though it closely resembles the Euro‑5‑compliant triple seen in the Tiger Sport 800 in spec, including a forged crank, forged conrods and high‑compression pistons.

Claimed outputs are 113 hp at 10,750 rpm and 84 Nm at 8,500 rpm, delivered through a six‑speed gearbox featuring a slip/assist clutch and a bi‑directional quickshifter. The exhaust is a compact 3‑into‑1 feeding a side‑mounted silencer, tying in with the bike’s tidy tail and short overhangs.

The chassis features a tubular steel perimeter frame and pressed‑steel swingarm, suspended with Showa 41 mm SFF‑BP upside‑down forks offering compression and rebound adjustment, and a rebound/preload adjustable Showa monoshock. Braking is taken care of via dual 310 mm front discs with radial‑mount four‑piston calipers and a single rear disc. Rider aids include performance=oriented electronics such as lean‑sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control along with three ride modes – Road, Sport and Rain, cruise control and smartphone-enabled navigation, calls and media integration.

Cockpit tech combines an LCD multifunction interface with an integrated colour TFT element, packaged in a familiar round twin‑section display. The seat height is an approachable 810 mm, with a svelte 14‑litre tank and a quoted wet weight of 198 kg adding to the Trident’s all-round usability. Cast‑aluminium 17‑inch wheels are shod with 120/70 front and 180/55 rear Michelins.

Finish and detailing follow the Trident family template, with a sculpted tank, slim tail and premium surface treatments, plus contrasting gold‑coloured wheels for some extra visual pop. Colour options at launch are Ash Grey/Diablo Red, Carnival Red/Graphite and Jet Black.

The bike carries a two‑year, unlimited‑kilometre warranty and class‑leading 10,000‑mile (16,000 km) service intervals. For riders who want more attitude, the Triumph Accessories catalogue includes an Akrapovič silencer with a titanium wrap and carbon‑fibre end cap.
