Autocar is my always first choice to get a better idea and understanding of any vehicle launched in India. Its also awesome how you guys add behind the scenes also. More power to you guys. Thank you. ❤️
I think rishad is use to v.fast bikes! He seemed to expect a little more performance from this bike, it would seem. However, Triumphs aim for this bike, had to tick a lot of boxes, I think they did a great job. I am 58 years old. And have had many bikes. I have seen all the reviews for bikes in this segment. They all have some compromises, well! I chose the Trident and bought one recently (in England). It's light agile, easy to ride, fast when you ask it to be, it makes me smile. I am between 5ft 9-5ft 10. It fits me well. I traded in my 2019 street twin, so I only had to pay £2,000 it's a great little all-rounder.
Wonderfully priced, this competes with the Honda CB650r which it undercuts by more than a lakh! Glad to see Triumph focusing on the entry level segment
I will undoubtedly pick the new Benelli TNT 600i 2021 which will launch in October in India. It is more powerful, better sound with dual exhaust ,new front all LED headlight design , a new fully digital colour TFT display, and that Benelli TNT 600 brand value over it's segment makes it the best middle Weight category naked sports bike. This bike is nothing infront of the new bike if you guys see it.
The 2021 Benelli hasn't been launched yet but if its anything like the 2020 model it has a FAR worse power to weight ratio. Benelli is an Italian brand but all its bikes are made in China and build quality, fit and finish and reliability are cheap Chinese quality. Benelli has now become a cheap brand that you buy if you can't afford any good brand like Triumph. And lastly Benelli service in India is #1 from the bottom. Horrible service and many people are forced to sell their TNT bikes due to poor reliability. The 500cc engine bikes are a lot more reliable than the TNT 600i which has an old 2005 Yamaha R6 engine in a detuned state.
Something like someone already own's a 150-200cc who want's a inline 4 bike as a dream bike to own but want to settle with Trident for the price it offers.
How about a comparative review of all 650's now on sale in India. Especially Ninja/ Z 650 vs Trident vs CB/ CBR 650. I know all three have two, three & four cylinders respectively, but the torque available in all three makes the bikes character different. Looking forward
The Z650 is a lot worse than this bike. Poorer suspension is the biggest gripe. The Z650 engine is also very vibey. Don't get me wrong the Z650 is a fantastic bike but when compared to the Trident it falls behind in almost every department. Another issue is that the Z650 costs some 16k per year in service while the Trident is 9k. So whatever upfront savings you get you will lose in a few years. The only real saving grace of the Z650 is the low and mid range torque. It plants a MASSIVE smile on your face when you wring the throttle. The Honda is best used on long open roads. It has poor low end torque and it makes its peak torque quite high in the rev range.
Agree with the comment that this bike may not suit most of the Duke 390 owners, even the old ST675 would be better bet anyday and you can get one at a good rate for a second hand bike
A worthy upgrade from the 200-350cc segment of bikes. Looks neatly wrapped. Not a single part looks awkwardly done. The chassis is built to take on the bad roads as well. Great review.🤗🙌 BTS: Triber, Trident Tested on a Rescue Mission.😄❤
But I still feel that street triple R is much better for me , however I have question what kind of fuel trident is it good with normal fuel or I have to go for 97 octane
I agree. R is much more involving. Triumph doesn't quite any particular fuel for any of its bikes. A friend at the service center says they advice owners to be careful about filling at trusted fuel stations to avoid dirty or diluted fuel.
Trident has more power, better fit and finish, more features, lesser service costs and is generally a better bike. The Z650 is easier to ride at slower speeds due the better low end torque, has more service centres and is almost a lakh cheaper. Also the Z650 has plenty of after market accessories which the Trident currently lacks
Autocar india , i used to race a 220hp race prepped R1 at the Virginia International Raceway, for 5 years , have sold it off to another racer before coming back to india, spent money in a house, and am now looking for a relaxed street riding, and enthusiastic riding, basically a veteran rider looking for a good street bike that can tour too, which bikes do you recommend for me ? Racing has caused my wrists to pain after a long time in the saddle, and due to much racing on my race prepped r1 , the doctor's also said that my back pain is due to that , I'm looking for a relaxed bike ( ergonomics ). Can you suggest? I'm already looking at the trident maybe!
Trident is pretty comfortable. But from what your last bike was you'll probably wish for some more spicy performance and that's where the Street Triple R will deliver. Bar risers can make it a more comfortable riding position. Another completely different direction is the Multistrada 950 - Do it all in complete comfort!
@@RishaadMody1 thanks for the help ! Very good narration, very good modulatiom, and deep observations ! Love your reviews ! I'm now looking at a triumph trident 660(a city bike,tourer, great versatility, great fun on tracks too), a used Honda VFR 800 (great sports tourer with beautiful design) , or a used Ducati Monster 800 (very cheap at 3 lakhs for less than 20,000 kms lol).
