Good morning #PDArmy, do you think the Trident can be your first big bike? Do let us know below, and hit that Like button if you loved the video. PS : Do say hi to Sparky the dachshund! He's a part of the team!
Guys, Kerala MVD has released a statement that they will be cracking down on helmet cams now. They are citing incidents where people use helmet cams to record stunts and apparently a kid recently caused an accident while wearing a helmet with action cam and 3 people including the kid were casualties. Kerala MVD are saying the rider's attention will waver when wearing a helmet cam. Any takes on this? This happens anywhere else in India?
@@SmirkVirtuoso I would be very scared to use an action cam on the helmet. Between the sticky mount and the weight / shape of the cam, the risk is greater than you think.
It's kinda a perfect first big bike for introverts. You know you ride something cool, but you don't always want to the centre of attraction. Understated. Sure. Reliable.
I have no problems with "my first big bike" being compact and controllable. I'm not in the mindset to go all brave and buy an intimidating motorcycle only to be rendered useless in our Indian conditions. I'm still a student who hasn't earned his own motorcycle yet. But when I do, I'll make sure to not make any mistakes going after fancy on-paper specs in place of the motorcycle experience. Great video, Shumi! thank you Powerdrift. PS- if that dachshund is owned by the studio, it should be called PowerDog :)
@@shu_mar after award your celebrity level will be 10 notches up then you will be called for news debates which will bring more stage light resulting motorcycle companies will take your word before any new launch. Win win for you, us and companies as well.
I think this is a beautiful package of power and practicality. I've been stuck in 3 hour long bumper to bumper traffic wearing a track pant and slippers spending about 90 percent of the time holding the clutch. While I felt the heat, the bike didn't overheat. When you accelerate, you'd know that you'd be able to control it and that's the kind of confidence you'd need in a bike. You don't want something brutal. It's fuel consumption is on par with my old Duke 390 (around 20 kmph). The bike is small, doesn't grab a lot of attention and the stock exhaust cannot be changed with a slip on since it is a single piece. You'd need to churn out 1.5L to churn out Akra or a Zard. But with the minimalistic design, all you'd need to do is to rev it hard in the 2nd and the 3rd gear and watch the peak hour traffic scramble away from your lane in mortal fear and amazement. What else would you need in a middle weight retro streetfighter?
Even after soo many years we want manufacturers to tune ride quality for indian roads, but we’ve given up on getting better roads from the local governments. 🤣
"Very quickly, you'll outgrow this.." Was expecting Shumi will say this for sure. Looks more like a Svartpilen 401 than a triple cyl middleweight from Triumph
@shumi this one's for you. What i feel is, Shubrato aka shumi is the Kabir das of Indian automotive journalist always presents the story in the most poetic way :D, let me tell u a story.....long long ago in the very first KTM DUKE 200 media review presented by the same gentleman on ODMAG, where after all the technical suprabhatam he ended it with a very special 2 lines "Understand its nature give it its head and trust me the stories and the smiles will go on for the ages" next, we bought one and after 9 years I still have her and i still check that video to go back in time. This man is proper jyotish when it's about motorcycles and I have a blind trust!! Thanks shumi
The new triumph Trident 660 is great looking middle weight bike. The design looks retro and modern and the dimensions are compact to. But it doesn't looks like a big bike like compared to a Kawasaki Z650. However where it excels is in the performance. Thanks 3 Cylinder engine is one of best, its smooth refined and sounds incredible 👍👍👍. Well if want to choose a middle weight,then its the triumph Trident 660. But i also like the Yamaha MT07 which is the best middle weight bike in the international markets. Its one hell of bike especially with the cross plane crank 689cc twin cylinder engine , sadly its not here in India😑😑😑.any way thanks for the review ❤❤❤. Also nice dog you have their 😄😄😄like the name to sparky.
Need POV Ride reviews now from Shumi sir…we expect this from PD and POV rides will highlight so many facets of the bike that one biker could relate to directly while riding the motorcycle itself.
Shumi is such a good presenter! I've been covering the Trident 660 since Triumph gave the first look back in Sept last year. I'm just itching to go for a ride on one, now that it's available!
Finally... The review I have been waiting for. Honestly I would like to have a big engine in a compact sized motorcycle which is easy to ride and control. And Yes, Trident it is.
Am i the only one who thinks that dog at the end was there to resemble trident(in terms of size) in the conclusion part. 😂😂 P.s. GREAT VIDEO PD, Shumi has always nailed it ✌️
I was waiting soo long for PD to drop their Trident's review. I think my research fell on the same lines as Shumi said and the Trident is going to be my joy ride. Waiting for it to arrive at the end of this month.
Good balanced review. For my part, I think, considering where Triumph were aiming this bike in the market, they've done a good job. I traded in my 2019 street twin, for this bike. Because despite the torque and build quality of the twin, after 3yrs, I wanted something lighter and more flickable, a bike that would rev further. Well, that's what I got! I am having a great time on this bike, its placid, when you want it to be, however, it encourages you to let it free! It makes me smile. In 18 months I will trade up to a 900ish class triple. But for now! After my street twin trade in price... I have a New fun machine, for £2,000.
I'll buy a bag of Kurkure over a lays chips anyday. Just like that I want my bikes to be what they are meant to be, and not over designed like the bulky bodied smaller cc bikes Designed in India to make it look bigger than what it really is. If it rides easier but have the same power as its rival than what is there to loose, the more easier it is to ride the harder I'll push it to make the most out of it, isn't that what better engineering is all about.
Having a big bike with bike being compact is no issue it should be nimble and side by side should be appealing to and ya for me this matters bcs at the u live in india and u care for ur bike so cutting through traffic and parking matters a lot. 😆 specially these bike catching a lot attentions. I love trident hopeing to buy it soon
I like it a lot. But I really wish that Triumph brought the same looks in 100-120hp range, for me personally the bug eye headlights of street triple are horrendous. Additionally, that “meh” after 7000 rpm is a deal breaker for me personally, which makes me really sad. I am desperately looking for an upgrade from beginner baby ninja which unfortunately I have have outgrown. I really hope Triumph sees value in bringing bigger engine in similar form factor and they will find me pre-booking it immediately.
German Shepherd Is Not Everyone's Breed Though....But What A Presentation By Our Ace Moto-journalist Shumi Sir ❤️🙏🏻.... And As Always Going Great Guns With Every Presentations Powerdrift 👍🔥
Theoretically Trident may look like it has "borrowed" the engine from current A2 (LAMS) license Street Triple S (660cc) in reality it's not accurate. And neither is that it's just retuned 660cc Street Triple S. The bore and stroke have been redesigned and so is the cam to say least. It may share good number of parts with the S but it also doesn't share lot of parts wih it either. There are significant changes between these two machines to call it retuned S. IMHO the correct way to describe it could be that Trident engine is based on S engine but redesigned for Trident.
I bought my first bike at 18 And very happy with it now 10 years later I am planning to upgrade All these years when my friends were buying super bikes. I was hustling saved for college. Cracked IIM. Did a job. A startup. And even started 2 TH-cam channels. I am not successful but now I have the capacity to spend on my wants today. Also. I hope this bike is worth my 2nd bike My dream bike? BMW 1000 and Ducati
There goes Powerdrift again, trying to sell motorcycles to Indians instead of reviewing them with honesty and speaking the Bitter truth, same case as the Honda CB500X and Bullet 350 review. No Shumi, 7.6 lakhs on road for someone upgrading from a 2 lakh rupee Dominar doesn't make sense, neither does saying 80 horsepower is something one will "outgrow" very soon in India, we barely have the roads and traffic conditions for these sort of bikes. Don't get me wrong, i am looking for a middleweight myself, not saying we shouldn't buy one at all, but please don't say 7.6 lakhs makes it very affordable and entry level bike, that just sounds stupid. P.S. loads of love to Sparky!, btw, i have a German Shepherd LOL.
I disagree on every single count. 1/ I’m actually saying don’t buy this bike - triumph has made it too easy. 2/ affordability is both personal and impermanent. Many can’t make the jump from a ₹2 lakh to a ₹9 lakh bike. Agreed. But if they’re in love with motorcycles, eventually they will. What real choice is there? So far the ₹4-6 lakh space is empty. And until it fills out, this is where it’s at. 3/ I know it sounds super super strange but VFM only works until you sign the papers. Once you buy it VFM is behind you and your life wit the bike is all that’s left.
Trident when launched in April 2021 seemed very attractive deal …and I was confused with street twin gold line since price difference was 1.3 lakhs . My doubts got cleared immediately when I saw trident n took a test ride ! I may look fascinating roadster but definitely doesn’t give u special feeling of owning a big bike ( as shumi correctly mentioned u will outgrow is very soon ). I was really impressed with HT 900 cc engine of ST and it definitely gives u feeling of big bike and that exhaust …! Overall I really doubt how much comfortable it will for long distance touring ( u can’t tour with pillion )
Great review in pointing out the flaws in our Indian context. Is it really practical for India where maintaining even 100kph is difficult on highways, with people crossing the streets everywhere? On top of that, the roads are bad and ridden with potholes. At least in US roads have 65-75 mph (~100-120kph) speed limits and one can ride for hours in those speeds. Furthermore, this motorcycle is really small and lacks street presence. It is designed keeping the Western novice rider on mind and like you said, it won't feel special if you move up from a Duke 390 to this.
If I'm ever buying a middleweight, it would probably be the Japanese for sure. TBH a majority of people in here don't care for track day performance and that is where "looks" come into play. If you go all in with that money, you definitely expect it to be a looker. A statement. A moment of pride. Nobody cares about a 3 cyl and 75+ bhp. It's all about the statement there, and that's where major Europian companies lack and that's what the Japanese and the Koreans have mastered for the Indian mindset. In short- Get a Z650. Save some cash.
Couldn't agree more... As much as I love the styling, the actual ride is rather underwhelming. The CBR650R is still the most sensible 'first big bike' you could own in India which is fun without being reckless.
I will still recommend the 650 twins for any person upscaling from a ~250cc motorcycle. Triumph still doesn't instill confidence with their after sales support.
I just love the way Trident looks, even when none of the individual design elements stand out. I would rather put a wrap around that UK flag design that they have got going on the tank
Coming from a 250 Duke, I would always prefer a compact big bike than something intimidating.. I love the size of Trident but the pillion seat looks too small to carry someone for anything longer than 30-40 km.. But I haven't yet seen it in flesh so..
For the Indian roads any smooth and fast bike more than 200cc is enough, if trident is not able to push in some scary way after 7000 rpm people will not find anything new after spending lot of money. It is okay to spend good amount of money for 3 cylinder big engine. But performance does matter. 👍
It's really good bike but new riders need first easy maintenance and chip to live. Than cost of bike because now people know how much money gone on maintaining it either than investment some more and go for some japanese .
Feels lively whenever nd whatever 'The' motorcycle guru explains....When i was keen to purchase Karizma ZMR back in the days nd confused with the competitions, I blindly booked nd purchased the same after watching ur review video....nd schumi sir, u didn't let me down✌️

1:20 & 1:26, Im i seeing rust in exhaust pipe? is yes then its bad from manufacturer like Triumph.
I think that’s mud not rust
Couldn't agree more... As much as I love the styling, the actual ride is rather underwhelming. The CBR650R is still the most sensible 'first big bike' you could own in India which is fun without being reckless.
I don't want a fully flared bike, Trident is my choice
The whole rhetoric of "first big bike" is BS. 80 HP is nothing to scoff at. No one needs a liter bike
I will still recommend the 650 twins for any person upscaling from a ~250cc motorcycle. Triumph still doesn't instill confidence with their after sales support.
I would tend to agree
Can I directly jump to this from a 160 cc ?
I just love the way Trident looks, even when none of the individual design elements stand out. I would rather put a wrap around that UK flag design that they have got going on the tank
that paint scheme is an optional extra. I think you can get one even without that decal
@@harshaokin8064 I would really love that
Beautiful motorcycle
Coming from a 250 Duke, I would always prefer a compact big bike than something intimidating..
I love the size of Trident but the pillion seat looks too small to carry someone for anything longer than 30-40 km.. But I haven't yet seen it in flesh so..
It’s true. Pillion seat is small
I kinda prefer a compact machine 😁
Torque is the name of the game
Powerdrift made my Day by releasing a Shumi video this early in the Morning!
Haha! So happy to hear that! We have more coming up!
Is this early morning🌞?
@navojeet signh for whom sleeps at 3am wakeup at 12pm, Yes.. it's a early morning for me as well..
@@Knighted_Alexander Yeah... I sleep around 4:30 Am! So for me it's super early! Hahaha
@@RAXITH_playz alright brother
For the Indian roads any smooth and fast bike more than 200cc is enough, if trident is not able to push in some scary way after 7000 rpm people will not find anything new after spending lot of money. It is okay to spend good amount of money for 3 cylinder big engine. But performance does matter. 👍
Make an video, of the best Middle weight bike for beginners in big cc bike...
This would be definitely one of them!
Thanks for the suggestion
It's really good bike but new riders need first easy maintenance and chip to live. Than cost of bike because now people know how much money gone on maintaining it either than investment some more and go for some japanese .
Feels lively whenever nd whatever 'The' motorcycle guru explains....When i was keen to purchase Karizma ZMR back in the days nd confused with the competitions, I blindly booked nd purchased the same after watching ur review video....nd schumi sir, u didn't let me down✌️
