Overview
The Triumph Trident 660 brings British triple-cylinder character to the Philippine middleweight market, offering a distinctive riding experience that no Japanese competitor can replicate. Its 660cc inline-three engine produces 81 hp with a unique power delivery — stronger low-end torque than inline-fours and smoother top-end pull than parallel-twins, accompanied by a burbling exhaust note that sounds unlike anything else on the road. The Triumph Trident 660 price Philippines is ₱424,800, positioning it as a premium alternative to the Honda CB650R and Kawasaki Z650. Two riding modes (Road and Rain), traction control, and dual-channel ABS provide a sophisticated electronics package rarely seen at this price point. At just 189 kg, the Trident is one of the lightest middleweights available, making it agile through toll plaza queues and confident on expressway on-ramps. For riders who value character, build quality, and want to stand out from the sea of Japanese nakeds on NLEX and SLEX, the Trident 660 delivers a compelling British alternative.
Expressway Driving Review
The Trident 660's triple-cylinder engine is a genuine delight on Philippine expressways — strong low-end torque allows effortless roll-on overtaking from 80 to 120 km/h without needing to downshift, while the smooth top-end pull rewards riders who enjoy revving through the gears. At a 100 km/h cruise on NLEX or SLEX, the engine sits at around 5,000 rpm with remarkably little vibration for a three-cylinder configuration. Two riding modes are a practical advantage: Rain mode softens throttle response and limits power for wet Skyway Stage 3 conditions during monsoon season. Traction control adds a meaningful safety net that the competing Z650 lacks entirely. The upright naked-bike position is comfortable for 1-2 hour expressway stints, but the complete absence of wind protection is the main drawback — riders regularly commuting the NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX corridor should budget for an aftermarket flyscreen. Fuel efficiency on the expressway averages 21-23 km/L, providing roughly 295-320 km range on the 14-liter tank. At 189 kg, the Trident handles crosswinds on elevated expressway sections with confidence and feels light and manageable at toll plaza crawling speeds.
