2026 Triumph Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 first look

Jan 21, 2026

Triumph’s Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 both earned select updates in 2025. 

That’s to say, few would fault the British brand for rolling out the same old Trident and Tiger Sport this year. Yet, Triumph implemented what it calls “significant upgrades” in 2026 — upgrades that deserve a deeper look.

The 2026 Tiger Sport 660 is available in the U.S. market in Interstellar Blue/Mineral Grey and Silver Ice/Intense Orange. Meanwhile, the Trident 660 comes in Cosmic Yellow (see the top photo) or Stone Grey (see below). Triumph photo.

The Daytona 660’s inline triple previously held a power advantage over the rest of Triumph’s 660 range. That distinction is no more. The Trident, Tiger Sport, and Daytona now harness the same 660 cc engine, which makes a claimed 94 horsepower (at 11,250 rpm) and 50.2 foot-pounds of torque (at 8,250 rpm). That equates to increases of 13.8 horsepower and 2.9 foot-pounds.

The triple achieves those higher figures thanks to a raised redline (of 12,650 rpm) and three throttle bodies (outgoing models only utilized one). To accommodate those extra throttle bodies, the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 also adopt slightly altered frames. The former receives a new Showa monoshock that unlocks additional adjustability, while the latter now offers extra touring capability with its larger 4.9-gallon fuel tank (previously 4.5 gallons).

Triumph goes heavy on language like “muscular” and “athletic” when describing the Trident 660. The model’s refreshed styling only accentuates those qualities. The fuel tank is wider. The knee cut-outs are more chiseled. The seat is now a split unit (between the rider and passenger).

The Trident’s accessory catalog now includes a passenger seat cowl and color-coded fly screen, bringing the 660 that much closer to the new 800. Triumph photo.

The Tiger Sport isn’t left out, either. Triumph prefers terms like “sophisticated” and “mature” for the sport-tourer, and its new bodywork only supports those descriptors. New radiator cowls don’t just improve weather protection and rider comfort, but also refine the front-end design. 

Triumph expects the updated 660s to roll into dealerships in March, with the Trident 660 starting at $9,145 (previously $8,595) and the Tiger Sport 660 going for $10,445 (previously $9,696).
