Triumph has been working on the revival of its iconic 'Trident' brand for the past four years

 and has recently revealed a design prototype of the upcoming all-new 2021 Trident that marks the brand's entry into the middleweight nude segment. It will be a first class triple cylinder bike and will establish its vision on bikes like the Kawasaki Z650, Honda CB650R and Yamaha MT-07.

The 2021 Trident is set to be one of the cheapest bikes in the company's line-up, arriving at Triumph UK dealerships in early 2021, followed by its launch elsewhere in the world.

The company remains tight-lipped about the bike's detailed mechanical specifications

that are to be revealed at a later stage, but Triumph has shown a design prototype that reveals the production-spec 2021 Trident. It will be a new motorcycle from Ground Up and Triumph's first foray into neo-retro space.

As the design concept suggests, it would lend a proper roadster stance with an old-school circular headlamp as well as wider and extended handlebars. The footpeg position will be mid-set and the rider triangle aimed at an unmodified, comfortable ride. It will sport clean lines and unused features, incorporating Triumph's design DNA, with key signs from the signature tank Knife Indents and the iconic Speed ​​Triple's Muscle Cause.

The Trident will be built around an all-new chassis for a balanced ride. 

It has also been claimed that it is the best-in-class technology that will be a key feature of Trident. Highlighting a new chapter for the company, Triumph Motorcycle Chief Product Officer, Steve Sargeant said, "The Trident design prototype marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Triumph, where everything from the ride to the look briefly.
