Blog: Riding the Triumph Trident 660 at NATRAX

On a radiant morning that felt charming considering the heavy Mumbai rains that went before, Pratheek and I braved to Madhya Pradesh. It would be a 580km excursion on the NH3 with the two bicycles we decided for the outing, one of them being the Triumph Trident 660. However, for what reason would we say we were made a beeline for MP, you inquire? Indeed, we were en route to visit the NATRAX. 

For the ignorant, let me give you a presentation, for it is something we as Indians ought to be colossally glad for. Only 50km before Indore is the National Automotive Test Tracks (NATRAX)- one of the biggest on the planet with an office spread over an enormous 3000 sections of land. It is additionally home to Asia's biggest high velocity track that can be utilized for testing at speeds up to 375kmph. 

We realized that as far as possible was far off for the Trident 660. Yet, as we crossed the Kasara ghat and contorted the choke to head towards Nashik, I knew the genuine fun with the Trident was to be had at the NATRAX taking care of test track. While I could let you know how the Trident acted on the thruway and when riding around evening time, I'll pass on that to Pratheek who has spoken with regards to it in the video you'll discover on BikeWale's YouTube channel. So how about we quit wasting time. 

The Natrax dealing with track is 3.6km long; somewhat more than the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore. It has not many runs of straights with the remainder of the track being specialized and tight. To my joy, the Trident 660 radiated through everything. 

With the 660cc, inline-three engine murmuring between your legs and the hardware set to Sport mode, the Trident 660 is a complete impact to ride on a track. Presently it doesn't shoot off in a squint of an eye or have the front wheel up in energy each time you contort the choke. Master riders may track down that exhausting, however on the other side, it would be less overwhelming to more up to date riders, and that is actually where Triumph needs to hit the nail with the Trident 660. The choke reaction is fresh and I was amazed with the smooth moving accuracy of the grip. 

Despite the fact that, what intrigued me the most was the Trident's dealing with. The suspension arrangement that got a handle on hardened on the parkway, was fit impeccably for the track. Presently, this taking care of track, as I referenced prior is specialized and there's almost no leeway. Be that as it may, the Trident handled it easily. The bicycle felt easy while exchanging sides into chicanes and inclining in. 

Also, the grippy Michelin Road 5 tires just drove in more certainty to push more enthusiastically into the tight areas of the track. In addition, the brakes, even with steady hard slowing down, never appeared to blur under tension, conveying reliable execution all through the eight laps I rode. 

Before the finish of the meeting, I was in finished wonder of the Trident 660 and surprisingly considered getting one for myself. It is light, reduced, and an awesome controller. Albeit not high on execution figures, it figures out how to put a grin across your face. Furthermore, for anybody climbing relocations, the Trident 660 would be the ideal cruiser to begin with.
