Trident 750

1996 Triumph Trident 750 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Triumph for the naked motorcycle segment, the 1996 Triumph Trident 750 utilizes a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 68 Nm (50.2 lb-ft) at 8,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 120.2 HP per liter and a 1,300 rpm working window between peak torque (8,700 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Trident 750 measures 212 kg (467 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.42 HP/kg (2.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
