The new Triumph 800 is ready and we can see some details, but the English do not give up

We are approaching that time of year where new things never stop coming. It’s a fun time, with many new faces, some rehashes and some disappointments. But it is frenetic and sometimes unexpected. And some brands are capable of taking the suspense until the last moment, and that is what the British brand seems to be doing with the new Triumph 800.

We must not forget that just a few days ago the brand officially presented the Triumph TF 450-RC and that we have the EICMA just around the corner, so it is not surprising that we are getting to know new models that we can physically see at the event.

Now, the only certainty we have about the new Triumph 800 is that we will meet it on October 22. From there there is nothing more official information that we can share, since the “teaser” that they have published on their social networks only allows us to see a gas tank or, more refined, part of it.

That is all we can see although, luckily, the plane is open enough to be able to see that it has some sharp lines. From there, finding clues about the rest of the bike seems complicated, although we can speculate.

That a Triumph 800 is on the way is obvious, but

Precisely the fact that they have sharp and aggressive lines leads us directly to think of a model that could have a certain sporty character. It doesn’t have to be a sports car per se, although who knows, but rather take the current Triumph Street Triple 765 to the next level.

Perhaps that would be the most plausible choice, thus adapting the model to the competition and also following the trend of increasing displacement that we are seeing in other brands, seeking to maintain or even improve performance in the face of pollution regulations. Ruling out a possible Daytona 800 cannot be done, but it seems less likely because the 660 is the perfect bike to fight in its category, although as we say it is not something that can be ruled out 100%.

What we are sure of is that, every time a Triumph official who is aware of the model that is going to be released reads the speculations, it will bring a smile whether we are on the right path or the wrong one.

There is nothing like having the information and seeing how the rest play at being Harry Houdini and achieve the impossible.

Happy drivers
