Triumph Tiger Sport 800
Performance and touring are the keywords of Triumph's new crossover: the Triumph Tiger Sport 800 is all new and is preparing to take over from its little sister 660
Triumph extends and renews its offering in the crossover segment with the launch of the new Tiger 800, the spiritual heir to the Tiger 850. The newcomer positions itself as the top of the range in the segment, distinguished by a completely new technical approach and top level technological equipment.
At the heart of the new Tiger 800 is an all-new 798 cc three-cylinder engine with 120° valve timing, capable of producing 115 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 84 Nm at 8,500 rpm. That's significantly more performance than the Tiger 660, which stopped at 81 hp. The new engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox with Slip & Assist clutch and Triumph Shift Assist as standard.
On the electronics front, the bike features premium equipment including a six-axle IMU unit, cornering ABS, switchable traction control and three riding maps (Sport, Road and Rain). There is no lack of cruise control as standard, while service intervals are set every 16,000 km.
The chassis is based on a tubular steel frame combined with fully adjustable Showa suspension, with 150 mm travel at the front and rear. The kerb weight stands at 214 kg, with an 18.6-litre fuel tank promising a range of 380 km. The equipment is completed with Michelin Road 5 tyres mounted on 17-inch rims.
Designed for long-haul touring, the Tiger 800 offers an adjustable plexi screen, full LED lighting and a sophisticated instrument cluster with TFT display featuring turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. Customisation is provided by over 40 genuine accessories, including the Akrapovič titanium and carbon fibre exhaust.
