Our verdict

The middleweight naked Triumph should have built years ago: a charismatic 113 hp 798cc triple slotted between Trident 660 and Street Triple, squaring up to the MT-09 on power and undercutting it on price.

Pros

  • Charismatic 113 hp 798cc triple with a great soundtrack
  • Genuinely premium Showa BPF forks and radial brakes
  • MT-09 pace and kit for less money

Cons

  • Not A2-eligible in standard tune
  • Just shy of the sharpest super-nakeds on outright power
