Triumph's 2025 Trident 660 gets enhanced tech, updated suspension, and fresh colours - but no price hike

Triumph have updated their popular Trident 660 naked for 2025, bestowing the middleweight motorcycle with a host of technical changes, a fresh selection of colour choices and most impressively, no price hike – with the triple still coming in at £7895. 

Available in dealers from December, the refreshed Trident retains the same simple yet sophisticated formula as before, meaning it should be as adept as ever for a broad range of riders, from beginners to the most experienced – a quality noted by our female road testers who named it our 2024 WoMCN Bike of the Year. It truly is a bike that’s all things to all riders and just as comfortable on the daily commute as it is scratching down back roads.  

Triumph say the update brings a greater focus on rider technology. This translates to a wider selection of standard fitment goodies, with features that were previously
only available as extras now incorporated at no extra cost. 

Included among the list of now base spec items are cruise control and an up/down quickshifter. Other updates for the 2025 model year see the addition of a ‘Sport mode’, in addition to the previously available ‘Rain’ and ‘Road’ settings.  

The biggest change, however, is the incorporation of a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), meaning the Hinckley middleweight now benefits from the additional safety net of lean-sensitive ABS and traction control.  

The shift to Euro5+ is said to make no difference to performance, with an unintimidating, but nonetheless fruity 80bhp and 47lb.ft of torque available from the 660cc triple. There’s also a 47bhp A2-ready version available for riders who are on a restricted licence.  

Triumph’s spec sheet indicates that weight increases by just 1kg to 190kg – owing to the addition of more tech and the extra sensors required to meet the new emissions bracket.  

With the bike now sporting a full-colour TFT, owners will be able to connect their mobile devices via Bluetooth to unlock turn-by-turn navigation, calls and music control. 

Triumph have made subtle chassis tweaks by softening the non-adjustable 41mm front forks slightly while simultaneously increasing compression and rebound damping using Showa’s SFF-BF ‘big piston’ damping tech. The Showa rear monoshock settings remain unchanged, with only preload available for tweaking. 

Colour options grow to four choices for 2025, with ‘Cosmic Yellow’, ‘Cobalt Blue’, and ‘Diablo Red’, now available in addition to last year’s ‘Jet Black’ paintjob. 

Service intervals remain an impressive 10,000 miles, and seat height stays at 805mm.
