2026 Triumph Trident 660 & Tiger Sport 660 Revealed - Get More Powerful Engine & New Tech
Triumph has unveiled the 2026 Trident 660 and 2026 Tiger Sport 660 for global markets, introducing a series of mechanical, hardware and equipment updates across both middleweight motorcycles. Both motorcycles receive new colour schemes for 2026.
Both motorcycles continue to use the 660cc, liquid-cooled, inline three-cylinder engine, but receive a revised tune for 2026. Peak output has been increased to 95PS at 10,250rpm, while peak torque is rated at 68Nm at 6,250rpm. This represents an increase of 14PS and 4Nm over the outgoing versions. Triumph has also reworked internal components and revised engine mapping to deliver stronger mid-range performance and improved throttle response.
The Triumph Trident 660 receives updates focused on handling and ride quality. The motorcycle now gets a fully adjustable Showa rear monoshock, replacing the earlier non-adjustable unit. The front suspension continues with 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) forks, unchanged in specification. The braking setup remains the same, with twin 310mm front discs and a single rear disc, supported by cornering ABS.
Electronics on the Trident 660 have been expanded. The motorcycle now comes equipped with lean-sensitive traction control, three riding modes (Road, Rain and Sport), and Triumph Shift Assist (bi-directional quickshifter) as standard. Cruise control is also offered as standard equipment for 2026. The TFT instrument cluster continues with Bluetooth connectivity support.
The Tiger Sport 660 receives a similar engine update and electronics package, including ride-by-wire throttle, lean-sensitive traction control, three riding modes, and cruise control as standard. The touring-focused model also benefits from revised ergonomics and updated bodywork designed to improve rider comfort and wind protection.
Suspension hardware on the Tiger Sport 660 remains unchanged, with Showa telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock, while braking duties continue to be handled by dual front discs and a rear disc, supported by cornering ABS. The Tiger Sport 660 retains its 17-inch wheel setup and sport-touring tyre specification.
Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles, said: "Both the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 have built a huge following worldwide, attracting riders of all ages and experience levels, from those new to motorcycling to experienced riders. The Trident 660 has also brought more female riders to Triumph than any other model in our line-up. These bikes have won multiple awards and introduced a new group of riders to the Triumph brand.
For 2026, we've taken both bikes to the next level. The result is a significant performance increase, which puts the Trident 660 back at the top of its class and secures the Tiger Sport 660's position as the segment leader. Alongside this, both models gain important chassis and styling updates that enhance their presence and capability, while retaining the accessibility and A2 licence compatibility that have made them so popular.
The Tiger Sport 660 sits within the Adventure Sport-Touring segment, appealing to riders who want a versatile bike for commuting during the week, fun riding at weekends, and longer touring trips - often two-up and fully loaded. The Trident 660, on the other hand, is a middleweight roadster that has become a favourite for riders looking for an agile, stylish machine for urban riding and spirited back-road fun. These updates ensure both models continue to deliver exactly what their riders value most, with even more performance and refinement."
