Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1993, 1994
The Triumph Trident was a standard naked motorcycle manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd from 1991 to 1998. The bike was powered by a 750 or 900cc engine and was made at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.
In 1990, at the Cologne Motorcycle Show, Triumph presented a range of 750 and 900cc three-cylinder machines alongside 1,000 and 1,200cc four-cylinder models. The bikes used famous names from the glory days of Meriden Triumph.
In 1993, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Trident 750, the smallest displacement machine in the range, packing the same technical, aesthetic, and performance specifications as the previous model without any modifications.
In the visual department, the 1993 model packed the same standard features as the previous model, such as a round headlight, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and lightweight aluminum wheels.
In the performance department, the 1993 Triumph Trident had its soul brought to life by a 749cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine with three carburetors in charge of feeding the pistons, delivering 97 hp at 8,750 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a cable-operated clutch and a final chain drive, spinning the rear wheel to a top speed of 215 kph (133 mph).
