Triumph Trident Middleweight Naked Unveil On October 30

Triumph is set to unveil its all-new Trident motorcycle overseas on October 30th. The middleweight naked will be positioned below Triumph’s Street Triple range. It will be launched overseas early next year. 

From the previously released images, the middleweight naked looks compact. It gets a neo retro looking front end thanks to the round headlamp and single-pod instrument console. The rest of the bodywork seems inspired by the Street Triple. In terms of features, the motorcycle gets all-LED lighting and a digital instrument console. 

 

According to Triumph, the upcoming motorcycle will feature a triple cylinder motor. While the British bikemaker has not specified any other details about the motor, we expect engine capacity to be between 600cc and 675cc. Triumph states that the motor will have a “perfect balance of low-down torque and top-end power” that will excite both newbies as well as experienced riders. Going by that, we can expect power output in the region of 80 to 85PS. Given that Triumph wants to make the motorcycle accessible to newer riders, it could feature electronic safety nets such as riding modes, traction control and switchable ABS. 

 

Triumph showed us a running prototype that gives us a fair inclination of the underpinnings. It gets a tubular frame with upside down forks and monoshock. Braking is via twin front discs with axially mounted Nissin calipers and a rear disc with floating calipers. The test bike appears to be running on Michelin Road 5 radials, which we can affirm are fantastic all-weather tyres. 

Triumph will manufacture the Trident in Thailand, from where it will be exported to the rest of the world. It will come to India via the CBU route sometime later next year. We expect the Triumph Trident to be priced around Rs 7.5 lakh. It would compete with other entry-level middleweight nakeds 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...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike.  For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
