Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey, characterful triple without the razor-edge focus of a supersport.
PurposeA do-it-all naked bike aimed at spirited road riding, commuting, and weekend fun rather than dedicated touring or track use.
Rider FitA moderately heavy naked bike with a manageable seat height, so it suits riders of average to taller build comfortably, though shorter riders may find it a handful at a stop.
CharacterThe in-line triple delivers a distinctive growling exhaust note and a broad, muscular spread of torque that makes it feel lively and engaging at everyday speeds.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a lightweight off-road machine or a dedicated long-distance tourer with wind protection and luggage capacity.

1997 Triumph Trident 750 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1997 Triumph Trident 750, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
