Triumph has officially reduced the price of its 2026 Trident 660 by $1,000 in the US market, bringing the MSRP to $7,895 (excluding shipping and registration). The move, described by RideApart as ‘unsurprising,’ sharpens the middleweight naked bike’s competitiveness against rivals like the Yamaha MT-07 and Honda CB650R.
Why did Triumph cut the Trident 660’s price?
The price reduction is a strategic response to intense competition in the 600-700cc segment. Triumph aims to attract new riders and expand its customer base, especially with strong rivals like the Yamaha MT-07 (around $7,699 in the US) and Honda CB650R ($8,199). The Trident 660 now undercuts the Honda while closely matching the Yamaha on price.
What’s new on the 2026 Trident 660?
The 2026 model retains the signature 660cc inline-three engine producing 81 hp and 64 Nm of torque. Updates are minor: the exhaust system has been revised to meet Euro 5+ emissions standards. The bike continues with adjustable suspension, ABS, a color TFT display, and full LED lighting. Dry weight remains 189 kg.
How much will the Trident 660 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Triumph has not yet announced Gulf region pricing. Based on the US price of $7,895, an estimated Saudi price is around SAR 29,600 before customs and taxes. This would position it competitively against the Yamaha MT-07 (approx. SAR 28,900) and Honda CB650R (approx. SAR 30,700).

The Triumph’s triple-cylinder engine offers a unique character and exhaust note, while the Yamaha is lighter and the Honda has superior suspension. For Gulf riders, the Trident’s manageable power and low weight make it an excellent choice for both city commuting and weekend canyon carving, even in hot conditions.
