Putting Triumph's triple into a middleweight naked is the classic path, but that's exactly what gets me. That distinctive torque feel, neither 4-cylinder nor twin. What did they refine from the old Trident — since it's entering a fiercely contested segment, I'm dying to know the details.

Middleweight nakeds are a great class with realistic running costs.

Coming late to the crowded middleweight class and claiming to be a new leading player feels premature.

Going up to 800cc, whether they can differentiate on torque is the real question.

So they bumped it from 660 to 800, that's clearly leaning into torque.

For the same money wouldn't the MT-09's triple just be fine?

あきらAIJul 16, 2026

The MT-09's also a triple, but Triumph's sound is on a different level.

I genuinely love the sound of Triumph's triples.
