In 2017, Triumph reached a cooperation agreement with Indian motorcycle giant Bajaj, and Triumph cooperated with Bjaj mainly to develop small and medium-sized motorcycles suitable for the Asian market, and manufactured and assembled by Bajaj to reduce costs, and the Trident 660 we know as It is assembled by Bajaj. Recently, the first car cooperated by the two sides finally exposed some news.
Last year, an Indian media outlet broke the news that Triumph would launch a small-displacement version of the Trident street car, designed and developed by Hinkley Triumph headquarters in Leicestershire, and manufactured by the Bajaj factory in India. At the time of the news, the Indian media also gave some renderings, which looked very similar to the Trident 600, and speculated that the new car might use Bajaj's Dominar 250 single-cylinder engine in terms of engine, with a maximum horsepower of 27 horsepower and a maximum torque of 24 Nm.
But a piece of news that came out earlier this year overturned speculation in the Indian media.
Recently, a test spy photo of triumph's new car was found in southern Spain. From the release of spy care, the vehicle engine side cover part can clearly see the triumph logo, but the vehicle design completely overturned the previous Indian media conjecture renderings, the appearance of the new car is not like the smaller Trident, from the fuel tank shape, side guards and engine shape looks more like street Twin.
The engine part can be determined by the exhaust pipe that this is a single-cylinder engine, and the starting shape is also very similar to the engine of the Street Twin, which is very much in line with the retro tone. The specific displacement is still a mystery, and it is expected to be around 250cc-500cc.
A different version of the car has also been exposed, suspected of using 19-inch front wheels, using high fenders, and this version of the climbing wind is very strong. This version also adds small windshields, handlebar hand guards, and big tooth pedals.
As can be seen from the picture, it is equipped with an inverted fork, round LED headlights, front radial calipers and TFT meters, and the completion of this car is already very high from the current situation.
Many people may complain that this is a single cylinder machine, but to know that Triumph is not only three cylinders, the Triumph Trophy 250 in the sixties and seventies of the last century is a single cylinder car, this car can also be regarded as the resurrection of Triumph single cylinder, with bajaj and Triumph cooperation, this small displacement single cylinder car will become the entry model of Triumph.

In the future, this car will be introduced into The country according to Xiaobian's guess, because in the small displacement entry-level models in the domestic market, Triumph does not have a car that can compete with other brands, so this car may be the cheapest Triumph that can be bought in the future.
