Race notes

The Triumph Trident 660 laps the Ref Ring in 1:46.55 on paper, 9.40 seconds quicker than the Triumph Speed 400 at 1:55.95. That gap is worth about 342 metres at the flag, and the biggest single chunk of it, 2.56 s, comes at Spec Sheet Straight.

Through the corners it is 2 apexes to 0 between the Speed 400 and the Trident 660. Top speed goes 157 km/h to 193 km/h. A faster lap is not the same thing as the better buy, which is why the full comparison scores value, practicality and ownership too.

Simulated lap times from published specs with stated assumptions, not measured track data. The circuit is fictional and the physics are listed under the race. Read about both bikes: Triumph Speed 400 and Triumph Trident 660.
