- 95 hp (70 kW) at 11,250 rpm and 68 Nm at 8,250 rpm
- Revised 660 cm³ three-cylinder engine for both models
- Market launch in Germany and Austria from March 2026
After several years on the market, Triumph is significantly revamping its two road-oriented mid-range models. Both the Triumph Trident 660 and the Triumph Tiger Sport 660 are receiving their most extensive technical and visual revisions to date for the 2026 model year. The aim is to achieve a noticeable increase in performance, combined with detailed improvements to the chassis, equipment, and everyday usability.
New 660 three-cylinder engine with noticeable increase in performance
At the heart of the model update is a thoroughly revised version of the familiar 660 cm³ three-cylinder engine. Both models now deliver A2-compliant 95 hp (70 kW) at 11,250 rpm. The maximum torque is 68 Nm, which is equivalent to around 50 lb ft, and is achieved at 8,250 rpm. According to Triumph, around 80 percent of this torque is already available from 3,000 rpm to almost 12,000 rpm.
The increase in power is based on extensive technical changes. Instead of a single throttle valve, three separate 44 mm throttle valves are now used, one per cylinder. In addition, there is a larger air filter box located at the front, a revised cylinder head with larger exhaust valves, and a camshaft with higher valve lift. The maximum speed increases by around 20 percent to 12,650 rpm, which should give both motorcycles a more responsive power curve.
The peripherals have also been modified. A larger radiator with a repositioned fan is designed to improve thermal stability. The exhaust system features a 3-in-1 manifold, a modified catalytic converter, and an underfloor-mounted rear silencer. The transmission has been revised, including new gear ratios, modified shafts, and a newly tuned shift assist. This is complemented by a servo-assisted anti-hopping clutch.
Trident 660: sporty appearance and targeted chassis updates
In 2026, the Trident 660 will position itself even more clearly as a sporty roadster. New bodywork with a wider, more angular tank is designed to give it a more powerful appearance. This is complemented by a newly designed seat and revised details on the headlight and mount.
The Showa upside-down fork with 120 mm of travel remains unchanged. However, the rear shock absorber, also from Showa, is new and now features adjustment options for spring preload and rebound damping. The revised frame is also designed to improve feedback and riding stability.
Triumph states the ready-to-ride weight as 195 kg, which is equivalent to around 430 lbs. The seat height is 810 mm. Braking is provided at the front by two 310 mm discs and Nissin two-piston calipers. Standard features include cornering ABS, lean-angle-sensitive traction control, cruise control, and connectivity via the MyTriumph system.
Snowdonia White is available as the standard paint finish, with Cosmic Yellow and Stone Grey available as optional extras.
Tiger Sport 660: greater range and focus on touring capability
The Tiger Sport 660 also gets new fairing parts, including redesigned radiator covers and a more distinctive front end. The fuel tank grows to 18.6 liters, which should increase the range on longer stages. The adjustable windshield can be adjusted from 1,312 mm to 1,395 mm in height with one hand.
The chassis continues to rely on Showa components, with separate functional upside-down forks and 150 mm of travel at the front, and a central shock absorber with hydraulic remote adjustment of spring preload at the rear. The ready-to-ride weight is 211 kg, or approximately 465 lbs.
The Tiger Sport 660 also comes standard with riding modes, lean-angle-dependent assistance systems, cruise control, and a combined TFT LCD cockpit with connectivity. Extensive luggage solutions are available as options, including side cases with a total capacity of 57 liters and a top case with a volume of 49 liters.
Triumph offers Pure White as the standard color option, with Interstellar Blue with Mineral Grey and Silver Ice with Intense Orange available at an additional cost.
Prices and market launch
For Germany, Triumph has announced a starting price of €8,695 (approx. $9,380) for the Trident 660 and €9,895 for the Tiger Sport 660. In Austria, prices start at €9,695 for the Trident 660 and €10,695 for the Tiger Sport 660. A four-year manufacturer’s warranty is included in both markets. Sales are scheduled to start in March 2026.
Classification
With the updates for 2026, Triumph is significantly sharpening the profiles of both 660 models. The Trident 660 is moving closer to the sporty end of the roadster segment, while the Tiger Sport 660 is further expanding its role as a versatile sport touring motorcycle. Both benefit from the noticeable increase in power of the three-cylinder engine without sacrificing their accessible characteristics.
