Triumph Updates Trident 660 Electronics for 2025
The Triumph Trident 660 is a capable mid-range naked street bike that has proven a success since its 2020 introduction, especially among women motorcyclists. That said, riders have been asking for some electronics and rider aid updates to the motorcycle.
Triumph has listened, and the 2025 model year Trident 660 receives its first, much sought-after technology upgrade. In addition, the motorcycle’s suspension has been tweaked, and it comes with three new colorways.
The 2025 Triumph Trident 660 is available now for an MSRP of $8,595—meaning there’s no price increase. Let’s take a look at what you get for those dollars.
The New
As mentioned, the largest upgrades in the 2025 Trident 660 have been in the tech department. The motorcycle now comes standard with Optimized Cornering ABS and traction control, both managed by the six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU).
Triumph now included its Shift Assist quickshifter as a standard option, enabling clutchless shifting. With the quickshifter also comes cruise control for those long, empty highway stretches.
Another new standard feature is Bluetooth connectivity, which used to be something you had to pay extra for. Alongside Bluetooth, the bike has gained a small, full-color TFT screen below the LCD instrument cluster for displaying navigation and other options.
On top of the previous Road and Rain ride modes, the 2025 Trident now comes with a Sport mode. As the name implies, this mode unleashes the full performance potential of the bike’s triple-cylinder engine.
Well, that’s it for the tech, but we still have a couple of upgrades left. The 41mm inverted fork is now of the Showa SFF Big Piston variety, as opposed to the previously available Showa SFF fork. The new fork offer 4.72 inches of travel.
And then we have the new color schemes. This year, the Trident 660 is available in Diablo Red (inspired by the popular red Trident Triple Tribute edition), Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Jet Black.
The Old
The rest of the motorcycle remains the same as last year. It draws power from Triumph’s 660cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder DOHC engine, which produces 80 ponies at 10,250 rpm and 47.2 lb-ft of torque at 6,250 rpm.
This powerplant works in conjunction with a six-speed transmission and an assist and slipper clutch. Not that you necessarily need to use the clutch, thanks to the aforementioned quickshifter.
We already covered the new front suspension, but in the rear things look the same as before. The bike features a Showa monoshock with preload adjustment and 5.12” of travel.
Stopping power stems from dual 310mm discs and two-piston calipers up front and a single 255mm disc with a single piston in the back. The new lean-sensitive ABS system helps in breaking duties.
As the bike uses the same tubular steel perimeter frame, its dimensions have not changed. Seat height is still 31.7 inches and the tank takes 3.7 gallons of go juice. That said, with all the new electronics, the bike has gained about two pounds, now weighing in at 418.9 pounds.
Overall, the 2025 Trident 660 is the same machine, just with new electronics to make the rider’s life easier. If anything, it should be even more fun than its previous iteration.
