French boutique builder FCR Original has just unveiled its latest creation: a full-on café racer conversion for Triumph’s popular Trident 660. Known for their stunning custom builds on retro Triumphs like the Scrambler and Thruxton, FCR has thrown its weight behind the mid-weight naked bike, transforming it into the striking “Trident RS” – a modern café racer with genuine road and circuit capabilities.
What sets FCR’s approach apart is its seamless blend of form and function. The Trident’s lines look sharpened with a handcrafted fiber‑glass bikini fairing that snugly hugs the stock headlight. Additionally, a sleek humped tail unit snaps onto the original subframe—with no welding and no warranty voided. The kit also includes a tail tidy, integrated mini LED lights, and clip‑on handlebars for a more aggressive rider stance.
Available as a complete painted kit or a DIY-ready raw version, the Trident RS kits are fully customizable. FCR even created multiple exclusive colorways echoing Triumph’s own palette.
Purposebuilt enhancements
Beyond aesthetics, FCR has equipped the Trident with performance-oriented gear. Brembo master cylinder and SW Motech foot pegs swap out stock components for improved control. Exhaust headers and muffler receive high-temperature ceramic coating, while a K&N filter enhances engine breathability.
FCR’s intent with the RS kit is clear. They aim to elevate the everyday Trident into a refined, attitude-charged machine that doesn’t lose its practical roots. “A base full of promise,” the brand notes, has been honed to sharpen the bike’s presence and rider engagement.
Every detail has been squared away—from custom rear shell and clip‑ons to minimal rear indicators and aluminum machined parts—refined to deliver visual coherence and functional precision .
Priced at around €2,500 unpainted or €3,000 for a full paint match, the plug‑in kit offers accessible customization for Trident owners looking to stand out. FCR’s e‑commerce platform makes it easy to order; for those eager for a finished build, they offer full-service conversions too.
FCR’s portfolio showcases a philosophy of clean, purposeful modifications—this Trident RS joins café builds, Scramblers, and more in a line-up appreciated for elegance, craftsmanship, and curated aesthetics.
With the Trident RS, FCR has successfully taken what’s already a fresh, agile urban roadster and added a layer of soul and style without sacrificing its accessible charm. It’s a bike for riders yearning for café racer character—city-smart, circuit-ready, and unmistakably distinct.
For Trident 660 owners, it’s a transformative invitation: take the reliable, user-friendly platform and dress it in attitude. Either buy the unpainted kit and customize your ride, or let FCR do the full assembly for you. Either path leads to an exceptional machine—part homage to retro racers, part declaration of modern design confidence.
