If you happened to visit the London Art Museum yesterday, the sleek Triumph Trident Prototype was a nice surprise. This 3rd generation model is set to hit showrooms in Spring 2021, sporting an all-white paint job with a roadster design, short exhaust, muscular body and sleek lines. You can see cues from the Street Triple, but this prototype model does not reveal what materials were used. Read more for a video, additional pictures and information.
The original Triumph Trident, released in 1968, debuted the motorcycle maker’s first three-cylinder engine alongside the BSA Rocket 3. Unfortunately, 1975 came along, and the bike was no more due to Triumph falling into financial trouble. Fast forward to 1990 and John Bloor acquired the Triumph brand and brought the Trident name back.
- The model includes a 2-speed gearbox, a first for LEGO Technic motorcycle models, and front and rear suspension for realistic movement
- Features great attention to detail, with attributes from the original, like realistic turning front wheel and front and back disc brakes
- Discover how the gearbox activates the V4-cylinder engine and feel the smooth ride of different driving techniques with the 2-speed action
The Trident design prototype marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Triumph, where the brief was all about fun, from the look to the ride. With its pure minimalist form, clean lines, Triumph design DNA and more than a hint of our Speed Triple’s muscular poise, this gives the first exciting glimpse at the full Trident story to come. Ultimately our aim was to bring a new take on character and style, alongside the accessible easy handling and quality Triumph is known for – at a price that’s really competitive,” said Steve Sargent, Triumph Chief Product Officer.
