Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1991, 1992
The Triumph Trident was a standard naked machine powered by a three-cylinder 750 or 900cc engine. The bikes were manufactured from 1991 to 1998 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.
In 1991, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Trident 900, a naked motorcycle in the same shape and form as the smaller 750cc version but with a slightly larger engine that delivered more power and torque.
Both machines shared the same standard features, such as a large round headlight with the instrument panel mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
In the suspension department, the bike packed a 43 mm telescopic fork with 150 mm wheel travel on the front and an adjustable shock absorber with 120 mm wheel travel on the rear, offering optimum handling.
In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 296 mm discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing optimum stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 1991 Triumph Trident 900 had its soul brought to life by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 99 hp at 9,000 rpm and 83 Nm (61 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
