Triumph have a pretty solid track record when it comes to three-cylinder roadsters. The first Street Triple is an all-time great thanks to its punchy playfulness, frisky agility and irresistible value – all traits shared with the brand-new Trident 800. It might look like a relaxed, rounded retro but, as our test direct from the world launch discovers, the Trident actually rides like the spirited, sporty successor to the Street Triple 765 R that it really is. It’s phenomenal fun.
Elsewhere in the April issue we’ve spoken to MotoGP’s hottest rookie Toprak Razgatlıoğlu ahead of his grand prix debut, asked our tame professor to reveal why some modern motors still burn oil (even after 140 years of development), and ridden one of the most dangerous dirt roads in Africa – which, thankfully, has a pub at the top.
Plus there’s a four-way test of four-cylinder supernakeds, an exclusive tour of Renthal’s incredible Stockport factory, and we discover the best-value adventure bike in years. All this and more, only in the April 2026 issue of Bike.
