So let us talk a little about the history of the Triumph Trident. In the late 70s, Triumph joined hands with BSA (Birmingham Small Arms Company) and came up with the Trident and the BSA Rocket 3.

So, the prototype in white you see in the pictures is nearly a production-ready version. The 2021 Triumph Trident has been styled by Rodolfo Frascoli (who previously worked with the company on the new Triumph Tiger 900). As seen in the pictures, the prototype motorcycle features a round LED headlamp, beefy tank and upswept tail with an integrated LED lamp. It also features a new instrument cluster, which might be fully digital.
