They are brilliant mate, great all rounder whether you commute or want to rip it around with some mates. If you are in the market maybe consider the 2025 version with sport mode and better throttle map
Think you've sold me on the zard pipe, was originally thinking yoshi but man the zard sounds too damn good and has such a mean growl at low speeds. Picking up my new trident on Friday!
Really appreciate your comment mate and hope you’re enjoying the content. Any feedback is always welcome. I don’t have an ECU tune yet but that’s the next thing I’m going to be doing to the bike. I’m going to get the tune from DNK and I’ve heard that makes a massive difference to the throttle response on the trident. The throttle lag seems to be the only real issue with the trident unfortunately.
Yeah it’s not ideal but at least it’s fixable and the ecu flash seems to do a lot for the bike as well as throttle response. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s done and give you my opinions 👍
I’m not sure there probably is a way of doing it you might have to google it but I know if you can it’ll be harder to get it in and out the the one that has a removable baffle by design
I’d say so yes. Even as a good first bike it’s extremely capable and you can do everything you’d want on it whether that’s commuting or riding fast. If you do want this bike though I’d wait for Triumphs updated version to be released and get that one because they’ve listened to what owners of this bike wanted and updated it. Looking really strong 👍
@@SebEastersBikes what's the biggest feature you'd say is worth waiting for? it seems the IMU or cruise control is the only thing you couldnt option before, really. since you can add a quickshifter and bluetooth already. or maybe the "sport" mode?
I find it ok to be honest but it depends what you’re used to and how often you’re doing it because you will feel the wind on a naked bike but I find it completely manageable at 70mph.
No worries mate, that’s also just a thing with naked bikes, what you gain in comfort and everyday usability you lose with the wind. I still prefer naked bikes myself and I’d only get a sports bike while also having a naked bike, best of both worlds.
No rust mate. I ride in pretty much all weathers but I won’t choose to go out if it’s raining but I will ride in the rain if I have to. I do clean my bike often though and use stuff like ACF50 to minimise any kind of rust or wear on the bike 👍
I mean I don’t find it too bad but I don’t know if that’s because I’m young or because it’s the best sets I’ve had on a bike. A lot of people who have experienced lots of bikes seem to pick on comfort as a critique point, which is understandable, but I’ve had quite a lot of bikes which could be said to be less premium than the trident so I think it’s fine, but if comfort is what you’re after maybe the Trident isn’t the right bike 👍
@@SebEastersBikes Way to late for that, I bought the 2025 Tribute last week. Maybe I'm spoiled with set on my Indians, all I know is my ass is numb after a while.

Congrats bro hope you enjoy the bike! And in my opinion you can’t beat the Zard for this bike it sounds too good 👌
Love this bike
I do too mate it’s brilliant 👍
love bro
❤️❤️
Thanks for the video, amazing sound. Does it have an ECU tune?
I don't appreciate the throttle lag when you rev match in downshifts.

@@SebEastersBikes Ride by wire is always that way from the factory, sucks don't it.

Is this the euro 5 version or non euro 5 model zard exhaust? Whats the difference between euro 5 and non euro 5?
Hi mate so this is the non euro 5 version and really the only key difference is you can remove the baffle from this one 👍
@ thanks mate. So if buy euro 5 version, i cannot remove the baffle right?
I’m not sure there probably is a way of doing it you might have to google it but I know if you can it’ll be harder to get it in and out the the one that has a removable baffle by design
Would this make a good first bike?
I’d say so yes. Even as a good first bike it’s extremely capable and you can do everything you’d want on it whether that’s commuting or riding fast. If you do want this bike though I’d wait for Triumphs updated version to be released and get that one because they’ve listened to what owners of this bike wanted and updated it.

@@SebEastersBikes Appreciate the reply ive settled on the Street Triple 660 instead cant wait to pick it up

Looking at getting a trident for A2 later this year. How does it feel on motorways or high speeds in general?
I find it ok to be honest but it depends what you’re used to and how often you’re doing it because you will feel the wind on a naked bike but I find it completely manageable at 70mph.
@@SebEastersBikes yeah I feel the wind on my MT-125 going down A roads but it’s not to bad. Appreciate the feedback 🤝

Isn’t it in the UK illegal to drive without mirrors?
No you don't need mirrors on a motorbike in the UK. I only ever ride without them when I film 👍
Any signs of rust on your bike? Ride it all weather's?
No rust mate. I ride in pretty much all weathers but I won’t choose to go out if it’s raining but I will ride in the rain if I have to. I do clean my bike often though and use stuff like ACF50 to minimise any kind of rust or wear on the bike 👍
Come on chi bikers
Yes sir! You a local yourself?
@@SebEastersBikes yeah bro I'm worthing and bikeless atm
Lovely mate. And how come you’re bikeless? To be honest it’s not even the end of the world looking at the weather in the UK right now 😂
i used your footage dont mind
brother
I don’t mind mate just credit the account 👍
@@SebEastersBikes yeah bro
🎵
How's your rear after a while riding? I gotta get a new seat, Corbin is the only one making them now and it's not much better.
