- 2026 Triumph Trident 800 Review
The 2026 Triumph Trident 800 is a new roadster with a 113-hp Triple, appealing chassis and electronics, and a price tag of just $9,995. We got a first ride on a mix of wet and dry roads in Cyprus. (Photos by Kingdom Creative) Like the Bonneville, Rocket 3, Tiger, and other models, the modern-day Triumph Trident 800 carries forward a name from the British bike maker’s past. The first Triumph Trident (also badged and sold as a BSA Rocket 3), powered by an air-cooled 740cc OHV Triple that made 58 hp, was produced from 1968-1975. After Triumph Engineering Co. Ltd. went belly up and the marque was revived by John Bloor as Triumph Motorcycles Ltd., the Trident name was resurrected in the ’90s for 750cc and 900cc naked bikes. The Trident name went dormant again until the 2021 model year, when Triumph launched the Trident 660 roadster. The then-$7,995 bike was Triumph’s most affordable model until the $4,995 Speed 400 joined the lineup for 2024. Product planners look for holes in their lineups to identify unmet needs. In Triumph’s roadster lineup, there was a big jump in power and price from the Trident 660 (which was updated for 2026 and now makes 94 hp and is priced at $8,995; read our review) to the track-ready Street Triple 765 RS (128 hp, $13,545). Enter the 2026 Triumph Trident 800. With a 798cc, 113-hp Triple borrowed from the Tiger Sport 800, which tester Kevin Duke dubbed the “practical hooligan” when he tested the 2025 model, a lightweight, dynamic chassis, and a full suite of electronic rider aids, it delivers serious bang for 9,995 bucks. The 2026 Triumph Trident 800 is available in Ash Grey (left), Carnival Red (right), and Jet Black (not shown). At the press briefing, held in a warehouse in Limassol on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, Triumph reps touted the Trident 800’s “dynamic urban attitude.” And to underscore their point, they showed a video of stunt rider and racer Ernie Vigil ripping wheelies and burnouts on the grounds of the building where we sat. Speaking of attitude, the Trident 800 reminds me of the original Speed Triple, which had a single round headlight for a few model years and a raucous 885cc inline-Triple that made 108 hp. The Trident has a similar headlight, now illuminated by LED, and its 798cc inline-Triple pumps out… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Texas Tech has become college football’s can’t miss TV villain

There are places where the road disappears into scenery – and then there’s the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where the road and the landscape become inseparable. Straddling the Tennessee–North Carolina border, the Smokies form one of the most biologically diverse and heavily visited national parks in the United States. The Smokies don’t present themselves as a single ride but as a network of some of the best motorcycling roads in the country. At the center of that system is U.S. Route 441, Newfound Gap Road, a high-mountain artery that cuts directly through the heart of the park, connecting Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to Cherokee, North Carolina. In the span of a single ride, you climb from low river valleys into cool, fog-laced elevations near 6,000 feet before descending again into the next basin of Appalachian terrain. But U.S. 441 is only part of the story. What makes the Smokies exceptional for motorcycle travel is how everything connects. Riders often stitch together a broader loop that includes the Foothills Parkway, Little River Road, and surrounding Tennessee and North Carolina backroads creating a day or multiday circuit that blends national park riding with some of the most iconic motorcycle routes in the region. The experience changes constantly. One moment you’re flowing through wide sweepers along a river valley; the next you’re threading tight, shaded corners where rock walls and dense forest close in on both sides. Elevation changes are constant and so is the sense that the environment is actively shaping the ride in real time. Unlike many mountain riding destinations that rely on a single famous road, the Smokies are defined by density. Within a relatively small geographic area, riders have access to hundreds of miles of paved primary and secondary roads that range from relaxed scenic cruising to highly technical mountain riding. Cades Cove is one of the most unique riding experiences in the park – a slow, one-way loop through a preserved valley filled with historic cabins, open fields, and frequent wildlife sightings. In contrast, routes like Little River Road and Foothills Parkway reward flow and rhythm, with long arcs and sweeping views. Riders can base themselves in nearby hubs like Maggie Valley, Cherokee, Townsend, or Gatlinburg and build endless variations of loop rides without repeating the same exact route twice. Each direction offers something slightly different. Travel Resources At a Glance Location:… [TheTopNews] Read More.8 hours ago - 2026 Kawasaki W175 LTD Preview
The 2026 Kawasaki W175 LTD is an approachable and attainable new choice for beginner riders, offering a relaxed ride and a price tag of only $2,999 MSRP, as well as retro-inspired styling. It joins Kawasaki’s W series alongside the existing W230 and W800. 2026 Kawasaki W175 LTD in Candy Emerald Green Powering the W175 LTD is an air-cooled 177cc single-cylinder engine with fuel injection. The engine is tuned for strong low-end pull, helping to avoid stalling when taking off from a stop.

Suspension includes a 30mm telescopic fork with 4.3 inches of travel and dual rear shocks that offer 2.6 inches of travel and 5-step preload adjustability. Slowing things down are a 270mm front disc pinched by a 2-piston caliper and a drum brake at the rear. Front-wheel ABS is included for additional safety. Cast wheels in 17-inch sizes allow for mounting a wide range of tire options. The 177cc Single makes a claimed 13 hp at 7,500 rpm and 9.6 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. Like the engine, the bike’s ergonomics are designed to suit the needs of a beginner rider, offering a laid-back riding position with a pullback-style handlebar and neutral footpeg placement. The seat is thickly padded for both rider and passenger, and a seat height of 30.7 inches makes it approachable for most riders. The curb weight is listed as 297.8 lb. As a W-series model, the W175 LTD adds retro flair to its beginner-friendly setup, including details like a round chrome-rimmed headlight, analog-style instrumentation, and teardrop-style tank. Also included are tie-down hooks at the rear. Below the speedometer is an LCD screen for additional information. Riders can also choose to add Kawasaki genuine accessories to their W175 LTD, like an engine guard for protection from damage, knee pads for the tank, or a centerstand for easy maintenance.
