New Delhi: Triumph is going to launch its new sports bike Trident Sport 660 in India soon. At present, the company has not announced its official date, but it is believed that these two can be launched only this month. The bike has been listed on the company’s official website.
When launched, the bike will be positioned as the entry-level model in the company’s Tiger family. It is likely to be priced between ₹8.5 Lakh to ₹9.5 Lakh (ex-showroom).

Internationally, it has been launched in three color options Lucerne Blue and Sapphire Black, Korosi Red and Graphite, and one Graphite and Black.
Being based on the Trident it uses the same mainframe, however, the rear subframe is updated to account for the added weight of the bike, which is designed to be carried as an adventure tourer. Apart from this, it also gets a longer swingworm which is extended by 11 mm.
