  • wheelie control
  • launch control
  • engine brake control
  • rear-wheel lift control
  • three power maps

Both of these models are now available at Suzuki Malaysia’s authorised dealership.

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
