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...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

  Watch Video Review     Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket.    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!    Husqvarna Svartpilen, Vitpilen 250: Rs 1,84,768 The Swedes, on the other hand, have a different take on “neo-...
