Triumph Trident 800. Replaces the Street Triple R in 2026 — but with a different brief.

Launched March 2026, the Trident 800 fills the gap between the Trident 660 and the Street Triple 765 RS. New 798cc inline-three (derived from Tiger Sport 800), 115bhp, 198kg wet, 810mm seat, $9,195 UK. Replaces the discontinued Street Triple R — but isn't a like-for-like substitute. The 800 is more relaxed, road-focused, less track-aggressive. Cornering ABS, traction control, quickshifter standard.

What actually changed.

1996 → 2026 · 30 years of "progress"
Trident name back, but on a 798cc triple Same nameplate, different platform Original Trident 900 was 885cc, made 1990-1998. Trident 660 launched 2020 — entry-level naked, 660cc, 81bhp. Trident 800 launched 2026 — 798cc, 115bhp, premium-spec. Three Tridents in 30+ years, none mechanically related. Same name, three different platforms.
Replaces the Street Triple R, but isn't its replacement Different brief, similar segment Triumph killed the Street Triple 765 R for 2026 (Street Triple 765 RS continues). The Trident 800 fills the resulting gap but with a different character: more relaxed ergonomics, less aggressive geometry, road-tuned engine. Track-day buyers go to the Speed Triple 1200 RS or remaining 765 RS stocks.
Engine shared with Tiger Sport 800 Cross-platform amortisation The 798cc inline-three debuted in the Tiger Sport 800 (2024) and is shared with Trident 800 (2026). Different cam profiles, different exhaust tuning, different gear ratios — but same crank, cases, head. Triumph thus gets one engine across its sport-tourer and roadster middle-class range.
Cornering electronics — class-leading at this price IMU-based ABS + TC + ride modes The Trident 800 ships with full cornering electronics — IMU-based cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, three ride modes. At $9,195. Closest rivals: Honda CB750 Hornet ($7,995, no IMU), Yamaha MT-09 ($9,810, has IMU), Suzuki GSX-8S ($8,499, no IMU). The Triumph is the cheapest with a proper IMU package.
Hooligan midrange, not peaky top-end 84Nm at 8,500rpm Engine is tuned for midrange torque rather than peak power. 84Nm at 8,500rpm. Reviewers (Bennetts, MCN) describe it as a 'happy short-shifter' — the bike rewards riding the midrange rather than chasing redline. RPM peak is 11,500rpm, but 80% of usable torque is below 8,500rpm.
$9,195 OTR — undercuts every direct rival Cheaper than Yamaha MT-09 / Ducati Monster Trident 800 at $9,195 vs Yamaha MT-09 $9,810, KTM 990 Duke $12,499, Ducati Monster V2 $11,995, Aprilia Tuono 660 $10,495. Only Honda CB1000 Hornet ($8,999) undercuts it at the bigger end of the segment, and that's a 1000cc bike not 800cc.
