If you’re in the market for an all-capable motorcycle, you might find the answer in the all-new Triumph Tiger Sport 660.
Built on the same platform as the Trident 660, the Tiger Sport 660 features the same triple-cylinder engine as its naked sibling and is set to go up against the Kawasaki Versys 650, Suzuki V-Strom 650 and the Yamaha Tracer 7.
The triple powerplant delivers around 79hp @ 10,250rpm, and 64Nm @ 6,250rpm, with the British firm, claims 90 per cent of the torque is available from 3,600rpm.
Like the Trident, the Tiger Sport 660 features two riding modes, Road and Rain, ride-by-wire with 6-speed transmission, and a slipper/clutch.
Braking is done by twin 2-piston Nissin radial callipers paired to a 310mm disc at the front and a 255mm disc at the rear. It also features dual-channel ABS that’s, unfortunately, can’t be turn off.
Other exciting features include 41mm Showa USD front forks with 150mm travel ad Showa rear monoshock with hydraulic preload adjustable.
- 835mm seat height
- 17.2L fuel tank
- LED lights with self-cancelling indicators
- TFT display with My Triumph connectivity
- Triumph Shift Assist up/down quickshifter (optional)
- heated grips (optional)
- under-seat USB charger (optional)
- TPMS (optional)
Looking at the success of the Trident, the Tiger Sport 660 will follow the same formula and expand to a broader audience that seeks comfort and practicality.
It could potentially become the best seller from the Hinckley factory.
