2 months ago | 5 Views
Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled the new Tiger Sport 800 adventure tourer globally, replacing the Tiger 850 Sport in its lineup. The new Triumph Tiger Sport 800 can be seen as a step up from the Tiger Sport 660 in not just the name but the styling also identical to both motorcycles. The new Tiger Sport 800 goes on sale in Europe and is likely to arrive in India soon.
Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Design
The new Triumph Tiger Sport 800 looks like the Tiger Sport 660 but with more heft in its design. The styling comprises split LED headlamps with new boomerang-shaped LED DRLs in between. The bike also sports a tall visor, a large and wide single-piece seat, and a tall and wide handlebar. The body panels have been beefed up on the motorcycle. The motorcycle is available in four colour schemes - Sapphire Black, Caspian Blue, Cosmic Yellow, and Graphite.
Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Features
The Tiger Sport 800 also comes with an LCD instrument console, much like the Tiger Sport 660, with a small TFT readout for essential information and Bluetooth-connected features. Speaking of which, the bike gets a call and music functionality along with turn-by-turn navigation.
Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Specifications
Power on the new Triumph Tiger Sport 800 comes from a 798 cc inline three-cylinder engine that develops 113 bhp at 10,750 rpm and 95 Nm of peak torque at 8,250 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox along with a slipper clutch and a quickshifter as standard. The bike also comes equipped with TPMS, cruise control, switchable traction control, cornering ABS, and ride-by-wire with three riding modes - Rain, Road, and Sport. The Tiger Sport 800 comes with an 18.5-litre fuel tank capacity, which Triumph says should offer a range of about 380 km on a full tank.
Suspension duties on the motorcycle include Showa USD front forks that are adjustable for compression and rebound, while the rear gets a monoshock, also sourced from Showa. Braking hardware includes dual 310 mm disc brakes at the front paired with four-piston calipers. The rear sports a 225 mm single disc with a single-piston caliper. The Tiger Sport 800 comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, giving away the road-biased setup on the motorcycle.
Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Price
The new Triumph Tiger Sport 800 is priced at 11,095 Pounds (approx. ₹12.07 lakh) in the UK. Expect the bike to arrive in India at a premium to take on offerings like the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE, BMW F 900 XR, Ducati Multistrada V2, and Honda Transalp XL750 in the segment.
