Yup, there are Triumph six pots, also known as Alcons, BUT, they are getting pretty rare.
They were fitted to the Triumph Super 111.
I had a set on Steamer number 1, but i got an offer i couldn`t refuse for them from a Super 111 owner.
The Tokico and any 6 pot will fit as long as they are 90mm mounting hole centres  :)

Apart, obviously, being much, much cooler - what are the perceived advantages of 6 pots over four?

stoppies

seriously though , they have more grip on the rotors for increased braking , although I don't really see the need on a tigger for my needs , cuz you will just lock the wheel up on a dirt road really really easy , me thinks

for me itll be tha added stoppin power and bling factor of the triumph logo. got tockico 6 pots on another bike i own and they stop the bike like ridin throu a deep muddy puddle. so alcons have gotta be good. they look slightly more substantial than the tockicos too so they shouldnt suffer with the flexin tockicos are supposed to have.

I had them on Steamer 1 before i sold them, weren`t much better than the rebuilt Nissin 4 pots i replaced them with to be honest.
Perhaps they were in need of a rebuild, although they do look more substantial than the Tokico 6 pots, and looked like they wouldn`t flex much.
