In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Monster + and Trident 800 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Monster + has a clear advantage. Weighing in 23kg less than the Trident 800, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the monster offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
