As someone who rides hard and films a lot of my rides across Dubai, my gear has to do two things: protect the bike and look the part on camera. The Evotech crash protection for my Trident 800 nails both.
Straight out of the box the quality is obvious — CNC-machined mounts, beautifully finished hardware, and that reassuring heft you only get from properly engineered kit. Installation was genuinely straightforward; everything lined up perfectly with no fighting bolts or modified panels, and the instructions were clear enough that I had it fitted in one relaxed session in the garage.
On the bike it looks like Triumph could have fitted it at the factory. The bobbins sit cleanly, the finish matches the Trident’s aesthetic, and there’s zero rattle or movement even after some spirited riding and our brutal UAE heat. Knowing the frame, engine cases, and bar ends are properly protected has completely changed how relaxed I feel — whether I’m squeezing into a tight parking spot or pushing on through the twisties.
This is the kind of product you buy once and stop thinking about, because it just works. Easily the best-value upgrade I’ve made to the Trident so far. Evotech has earned a returning customer — I’ll be back for the rest of their range. Highly, highly recommended. 🏍️🇦🇪
