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.

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Review In Pictures

  Watch Video Review   Triumph has launched its new hardcore Scrambler 1200 XC in India at Rs 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India). We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review   While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. Also read:  Family Feud: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC vs Tiger 800 XCx   The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit.   Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen. It has two themes and relays a

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
