Trident 800 First Ride! Is This the MT-09 Killer?

I finally get up close and personal with the all-new Triumph Trident 800 — and I don’t just look at it, I ride it. Straight after, I jump back on the Yamaha MT‑09 for a proper back-to-back comparison. This isn’t a spec-sheet showdown. It’s about how they actually feel on the road — engine character, chassis confidence, electronics, comfort, and which one leaves you grinning harder. Is the Trident 800 the upgrade many have been waiting for, or does the MT-09 still own this space? We’re now a proud Boxo Tools affiliate!
