80 Comments

Introduced to the world for the first time earlier this month, the new Triumph Trident 660 has now entered the Malaysian market with a starting price of RM46,900.

The model year 2025 comes with various improvements, centering on rider-focused technology, suspension system, as well as new colour and graphic options.

In response to customer demand, the Trident 660 now comes standard with Optimised Cornering ABS, Traction Control, Triumph Shift Assist, and Cruise Control.

Meanwhile, the full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity now includes turn-by-turn navigation and full phone functionality to further improve rider convenience.

In addition to the existing ride-by-wire throttle and Road and Rain riding modes, the Trident 660 also gains a third mode, Sport, which provides a more responsive performance.

For the suspension system, the Showa 41 mm front forks have been upgraded with Showa SFF-BF big piston damping, offering greater comfort and control.

At the rear, the Trident 660 utilises a monoshock RSU shock absorber with preload adjustment, also from Showa. It is equipped with Nissin braking systems featuring dual 310 mm discs and Michelin Road 5 tyres.

Finally, Triumph has introduced three new colour and graphic options for the Trident 660: Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Diablo Red, highlighted by a Sapphire Black trim and diagonal white stripes.

Additionally, there is a new forged aluminium top yoke and forged aluminium brake pedal.

No changes to the engine, which means the Trident 660 will soldier on with the tried-and-tested 660 cc DOHC three-cylinder engine that produces 81 PS at 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm at 6,250 rpm.

Triumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400 X launched in Malaysia

TRIUMPH Motorcycles Malaysia has officially launched the Triumph T-Series range in the Malaysian market, consisting of two models – the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X.

The Speed 400 is a roadster that joins the modern classic lineup alongside the Speed Twin 900 and 1200, while the Scrambler 400 X takes its rugged design cues from the Scrambler 900 and 1200, with an off-road pedigree that goes back to the first factory Scramblers of the 1950s.

Both models are powered by the same TR-Series liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 398 cc, producing 40 PS and 37.5 Nm of torque. The engine complies with Euro 5 emission standards and is paired with a six-speed transmission.

While sharing the same ‘heart’, the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X offer individual chassis configurations to provide different riding positions.

The Speed 400 comes with a 43 mm inverted fork, a mono-shock absorber with external reservoir, 17-inch front and rear aluminium alloy wheels, and a 300 mm front brake disc matched with a four-piston radial caliper. It also comes with a seat height of 790 mm and an overall weight of 170 kg.

On the other hand, the Scrambler 400 X employs the same suspension setup but with a higher travel of 150 mm. This version is also equipped with a 19-inch front wheel, a wider handlebar, and a larger 320 mm brake disc.

The footpegs are positioned lower, while the seat is slightly raised to 835 mm. Its weight also increases by 9 kg compared to the Speed 400.

Both models feature Ride-by-Wire, Traction Control, and dual-channel ABS, which can be deactivated for off-road riding on the Scrambler 400 X.

Other niceties include LED lights, an LCD screen with a digital tachometer, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, USB-C charging socket, and an immobilizer.

Selling prices start from RM26,900 for the Speed 400 and RM29,900 for the Scrambler 400 X.

TRIUMPH Daytona is set to make a comeback in 2024 with the launch of the Daytona 660 scheduled for January 9, according to the latest announcement shared on social media.

The Triumph Daytona 660 will be powered by the same 660cc three-cylinder engine used in the Tiger Sport 660 and Trident 660.

In addition to the engine, it is believed that the Daytona 660 will also utilize the same chassis as the Trident 660. This marks the first return of the Daytona to the global market since the British brand discontinued the Daytona 675 in 2017.

Despite the comeback with the Daytona 765, which was limited to 1,530 units as a commemorative model celebrating Triumph’s success as the engine supplier for Moto2 in 2020.

The Daytona 660 is expected to offer power figures similar to the Trident 660, around 80hp and 64Nm. For fans of the previous Daytona models, there might be disappointment as the earlier 675 model offered 126hp and 70.2Nm.

Furthermore, the design of the Daytona 660 will be distinct, especially the front headlight, which appears to borrow design elements from the Tiger Sport 660.

At present, detailed information remains limited, but all will be revealed on January 6.
