The Triumph Trident was a standard naked motorcycle powered by a 750 or 900cc three-cylinder manufactured by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd from 1991 to 1998 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.

The Triumph Trident range comprised two 750 and 900cc three-cylinder motorcycles and two 1,000 and 1,200cc four-cylinder models. The models were shown for the first time at the 1990 Cologne Motorcycle Show and had famous names from the glory days of Meriden Triumph.

In 1993, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Trident 900, a naked motorcycle in its third year of production. The 1993 machine came with the same specifications as previous models without any modifications.

In the visual department, the bike packed standard features, such as a large round headlight with the instrument cluster mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and three double-spoke aluminum wheels.

In the performance department, the 1993 Triumph Trident 900 had its soul brought to life by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three Mikuni carburetors, delivering 99 hp at 9,000 rpm and 83 Nm (61 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a cable-operated clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 215 kph (133 mph).

The Triumph Trident T160was in production for just three years, but its roots lay in the T150 Trident launched in 1968. There are two major differences between the two models. The first is that the T160 was fitted with both kickstart and electric start (the T150 was kickstart only).

The next major change came with the 1973 and 1974 T150V, with addition of a much-needed hydraulic front disk brake and the long-awaited 5-speed gearbox, which is what the "V" stands for in the model designation. Styling was cleaned up also, in keeping with the Bonneville line.

Launched in 1968, the Trident T150 750 was fast, fine handling and arguably the first ever superbike. The Triumph Trident and its blood brother, the Rocket 3, can lay a strong claim to being the first mass-produced superbikes, predating the fatter, slower, Honda 750 Four.
