The Concrete Jungle Chronicles: 2026 Triumph Trident 800 | A More Streetable Street Triple?

The 2026 Triumph Trident 800 steps into a very interesting space. On paper, it sits below the Triumph Street Triple 765. On the road, it tells a slightly different story. In this video, I take the new Trident 800 through real-world city riding in Singapore to see what it’s actually like to live with. From tight carpark ramps to stop-start traffic and open urban roads, this is where a bike like this is meant to perform. With its 798cc inline triple producing 113 horsepower, a compact chassis, and a very approachable seat height, the Trident 800 promises big-bike performance in a much more usable, city-friendly package. The question is whether that makes it not just an alternative to the Street Triple, but possibly the better choice for everyday riding. I cover the bike’s handling, engine character, fuelling, suspension, comfort, and overall usability, including how it compares to other middleweight nakeds and why it reminds me of bikes like the Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 in terms of agility and ease of use. If you’re considering a middleweight naked for commuting, or wondering whether you really need something like a Street Triple for city riding, this might be the bike to look at.
