Ready to rev your engines? Triumph has just unveiled a thrilling new addition to its lineup: the 2026 Triumph Trident 800! This isn't just any motorcycle; it's a bold statement designed to electrify the road.
Before we dive in, let me confess something: I'm completely smitten with my own Street Triple. It's the kind of bike you bond with instantly, and I've poured my heart and soul into it.
Now, Triumph has answered the call of many enthusiasts by introducing a more powerful sibling to the Trident family. This is where things get really interesting!
The all-new 2026 Triumph Trident 800 boasts a brand-new 798cc triple engine. With a bore and stroke of 78.0mm x 55.7mm and a compression ratio of 13.2 to 1, this engine promises exhilarating performance. The specs? A claimed peak horsepower of 113 at 10,750 rpm, alongside a top torque of 61.9 lb-ft at 8,500 rpm. And yes, it's equipped with a smooth six-speed gearbox, enhanced by Triumph Shift Assist.
The Trident 800 aims to deliver that signature Triumph triple roadster experience, building upon the strengths of the Trident 660 while injecting some of the punchier engine characteristics from the more potent Triumph Street Triple 765 series.
And this leads us to an interesting point: Triumph has confirmed that the Street Triple 765 R will be discontinued for the 2026 model year. However, the RS version will remain available, so don't panic!
But what else does the 2026 Triumph Trident 800 bring to the table? It's packed with all the modern conveniences you'd expect. This includes three ride modes (Road, Sport, and Rain), lean-sensitive cornering ABS, traction control, Bluetooth connectivity, a 3.5-inch round TFT dash, LED lighting, and even self-cancelling turn signals. The fuel tank holds 3.7 gallons of fuel, and the sleek design gives it a polished look.
Now, the big question: How much does it cost?
Let's be honest, we're all watching our wallets. The good news is that the 2026 Triumph Trident 800 is coming to the US and Canada at a price that's actually lower than the outgoing Street Triple 765 R. The US MSRP is $9,995, and the Canadian MSRP is $11,695.
As for availability, you can place your orders now with your local authorized Triumph dealership. Bikes will start rolling out to customers in April 2026, so you'll have to wait a few months if you order right away.
Color options for the 2026 Triumph Trident 800 include: Ash Grey/Diablo Red, Carnival Red/Graphite, and Jet Black.
