It is offered in four color options including, Matte Jet Black and Silver Ice/Diablo Red.
It runs on an 80hp, 660cc engine
The Triumph Trident 660 draws power from a 660cc, inline-three cylinder engine that generates a maximum power of 79.8hp and a peak torque of 64Nm. The mill is linked to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch.
There are disc brakes on both the ends
In terms of safety equipment, the Triumph Trident 660 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for better handling.
