Triumph Thailand has now launched the Trident 660 mid-size roadster, a special edition, Triumph Trident Triple Tribute special edition 2024, inspired by the TT racer that won 5 times from 1971 to 1975, 'Slippery Sam'. Initially, Triumph is to sell this model for only 1 year in Thailand, with a selling price of THB 319,000 (US$ 8,800).

Trident Triple Tribute is uniquely decorated with contemporary graphics in white, blue and red with the number 67 on the fuel tank, referring to the Slippery Sam racer, colour-matched underbody panel and windshield, Triumph badges on both the headlight and tail light, badges on the fuel filler cap, handlebar clamps and instrument panel, including an aluminium Trident badge, a body-coloured radiator cover, aluminium handlebar covers and footrest guards, tapered aluminium handlebars, teardrop mirrors, a body-coloured shock absorber guard and 17-inch black five-spoke aluminium cast wheels.

In terms of standard equipment, the Trident Triple Tribute adds a Bluetooth connectivity system to use the My Triumph Connectivity system, it also supports connection to smartphones, listening to music or using the Turn-by-turn navigation system, and adds the Triumph Shift Assist system to help the rider shift up/down without using the clutch, including the Autoblipper system when shifting down for speed and smoothness as standard equipment.

The bike also features LED lights, a TFT multi-function display, ride-by-wire electronic throttle, black Showa inverted forks with 120 mm front wheel travel, a Showa RSU monoshock rear shock with preload adjustment and a Linkage with 133.5 mm rear wheel travel, disc brakes with ABS, Nissin 2-piston callipers, twin 310 mm discs and Michelin Road 5 tyres.

Power for the bike comes from a 660cc, 3-cylinder engine that delivers a deep, rich sound with a small, single-sided silencer and a stainless steel end cap. The transmission is a 6-speed with newly improved gear ratios. Maximum power is 82 PS at 10,250 rpm, maximum torque is 6.5 kg-m at 6,250 rpm, and exhaust emissions are 107 g/km, meeting Euro 5 standards.
