Triumph Trident More Details Revealed

Watch Video Review

Triumph has announced that its upcoming Trident is in the final stages of testing and released more details and images of the upcoming streetfighter. The new motorcycle will be positioned below Triumph’s Street Triple range. It is slated for an early-2021 launch overseas.

From the released images, it is apparent that the upcoming streetfighter is a very compact motorcycle. The neo-retro styled front end is reminiscent of the larger Speed Twin, while the rest of the fuel tank and bodywork draws inspiration from the Street Triple. Feature-wise, the new motorcycle gets a digital instrument console and all-LED lighting.

Triumph has revealed that the upcoming motorcycle will feature a triple-cylinder motor similar to the Street Triple range. It is, however, expected to have a comparatively smaller engine capacity in the range of 600cc to 675cc. Power output is expected to be around 80-85PS. According to Triumph, the Trident's motor will have a “perfect balance of low-down torque and top-end power,” which should keep both newbies as well as experienced riders excited. It is expected to feature rider aids such as riding modes, traction control or switchable ABS.

The new motorcycle seems to be using a tubular perimeter frame instead of the twin-spar frame on the Street Triple. It gets Showa suspension in the form of non-adjustable upside-down forks and monoshock. Braking is via dual disc brakes with Nissin axially mounted calipers and a rear disc with a Nissin caliper. The tyres appear to be Michelin Road 5s which work well in different weather conditions.

The Triumph Trident will be manufactured in Thailand and will come to India via the CBU route sometime next year. The motorcycle is expected to be priced around Rs 7.5 lakh which would put it in the crosshairs of other mid-capacity naked motorcycles such as the Honda CB650R, Benelli TNT 600, Kawasaki Z650, and the incoming Suzuki SV650.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...
