Trident Titan Review

Trident Titan

The Trident Titan isn’t just for weekend warriors; it’s designed for daily use as well. Its compact flat twist fold makes it easy to store and transport, while the wide range of accessories—from racks and fenders to lights and mirrors—ensures I’m prepared for any journey.

The Trident Titan has truly enhanced my cycling experience. Its combination of comfort, performance, and customization options make it a standout choice for anyone looking to explore the world on three wheels. Whether I’m embarking on a cross-country tour or enjoying a leisurely ride through the park, this trike has proven to be a reliable and enjoyable companion.

If you’re considering a trike that offers the perfect blend of adventure and comfort, I wholeheartedly recommend giving the Trident Titan a try. It’s more than just a ride; it’s an invitation to explore the world in a whole new way.

Handling: Whether I’m cruising on paved roads or tackling rugged trails, the Trident Titan handles it all with ease. The frame is constructed from lightweight 7005 aluminum, and the trike’s geometry ensures excellent stability and maneuverability, even at higher speeds or on uneven terrain. The Avid BB5 disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, and the SRAM GX 10-speed drivetrain offers smooth and precise shifting.

Gearing Options: From derailleur systems for speed enthusiasts to hub gears like the Rohloff 14-speed for low maintenance and reliability.

E-Assist Systems: For those longer rides or hilly terrains, the Shimano STEPS E6100 or EP8 electric assist systems provide that extra boost when needed.

 

Pros:

  • A very comfortable seat bottom
  • Easier to get on and off of compared to a tadpole style trike
  • Low price

Cons:

  • A little more tippy than a Tadpole style trike
