The Triumph Tiger is an iconic bike and with the introduction of the Tiger Sport 660, Triumph Motorcycles is looking at bringing this range closer to the mass market buyer. It is an all-new bike that comes with the company’s legendary build quality and sports a very distinguished road presence.
Design
The new Tiger Sport 660 beautifully integrates practicality with contemporary adventure sports design. It is a stunning looking machine that means business, and despite its compact design, it is every bit a premium street bike that is also great for long distance travel. The bodywork of the new 660 comes with clean lines, a sculpted look, and a twin headlight set up with minimal rear design and a contoured taillight. Additional premium styling details include teardrop mirrors, sculpted radiator cowls and fork protectors, and minimalistic underslung stainless-steel silencer.
Performance
With the Tiger 660, you get the benefit of the Triple Engine that is known for its punchy performance and frugal nature. The 3-cylinder engine delivers 81PS of peak power and 64Nm of torque with close to 90 per cent of that torque available throughout the rev range, which translates to an exhilarating ride experience. The bike also sports a slip and assist clutch and to top it off, it gets a unique triple sound track. Practicality and versatility are top of the list for middleweight adventure sports riders, and the new Tiger Sport 660 delivers all of the capability needed for commuting and city riding, as well as weekend escapes and longer trips.
