The performance advantages of a three-cylinder engine
Powered by the category's first and most powerful three-cylinder 660cc engine, the new Tiger Sport 660 combines low-end torque, a strong mid-range and tremendous top-end power.
With a maximum torque of 64Nm at 6,250rpm and a maximum power output of 81PS at 10,250rpm, the new Tiger Sport 660 is the most powerful motorcycle in its class, ensuring excellent acceleration in all gears, whether you're carrying a passenger or speeding down the road. From low revs to redline, it's the perfect balance of thrilling and practical performance.
A sophisticated engine management system and ride-by-wire throttle ensure precise and responsive power delivery, while the smooth six-speed gearbox has optimised gear ratios for fun, all-round everyday riding. The distinctive, deep exhaust note of the 660cc three-cylinder engine emanates from a short, minimalist, suspended stainless steel silencer. This engine is fully Euro 5 compliant and delivers low emissions and excellent fuel economy.
Designed to set new benchmarks in handling
The new Tiger Sport 660 has been designed to deliver Triumph's trademark dynamic, agile and comfortable handling.
Perfectly balanced and easy to control, with lightweight aluminium tapered handlebars to aid precise steering, the new Tiger Sport 660 offers a commanding and confident ride.
Practical and comfortable, the twin seats feature an 835mm seat height and ergonomically optimised grab handles for the rear as standard. The slim stand-over width also provides ease of operation at low speeds and stability when stopped.
The suspension has been carefully developed to deliver all the handling benefits of the acclaimed Triumph, offering a sporty feel for solo riding and a relaxed feel for longer journeys and two-seater touring.
At the front of the Tiger Sport 660 is a 41mm Showa cartridge upside down fork with 150mm of travel. The rear monoshock features a dual-rate spring for optimal performance in both single and dual-seater riding. The monoshock is equipped with a hydraulic remote type preload adjustment, allowing the rider to adjust the ride comfort to suit the passenger and luggage.
The five-spoke 17-inch wheels are made from lightweight cast aluminum and add to the motorcycle's great agility. The Michelin Road 5 tires also provide excellent road-holding performance in both dry and wet conditions. Excellent stopping power is provided by Nissin 2-piston sliding calipers and 310mm front discs, controlled by a span-adjustable brake lever.
Long-distance touring performance
Practicality and versatility are top priorities for middleweight adventure sport riders.
The new Tiger Sport 660 has all the features you need for commuting, city riding or long weekend trips.
The beautifully shaped tank holds 17 litres of fuel and offers excellent range.
The sleek aerodynamic screen features easy one-handed height adjustment, allowing the rider to easily adjust the level of protection from weather and wind while riding.
Discreetly integrated pannier mounts allow for easy and seamless installation of the exclusive new accessory panniers. This helps maintain the clean styling of the rear body even when unloaded, further enhancing touring performance. There is also a 52 litre top box available, which can hold two full face helmets. The panniers and top box can also be colour-matched to your motorcycle.
Best-in-class technology for maximum safety and control
The new Tiger Sport 660 is equipped with category-leading levels of rider technology, including the first in its class to feature a multi-functional colour screen instrument display (TFT display).
This allows for turn-by-turn navigation, GoPro control and operation with phone and music, all controlled by switchgear and displayed clearly on a TFT screen for easy operation by the rider while riding.
In addition, two class-leading, high-spec riding modes - Road and Rain - adjust throttle response and traction control settings to give the rider greater control and confidence in all riding conditions. Standard on the Tiger Sport 660 is ABS and switchable traction control for added safety. The traction control can also be switched off completely if required.
In addition, the Tiger Sport 660 features a Slip & Assist clutch and optimised clutch lever for light and easy operation, reducing rider fatigue, especially when riding in urban areas.
For greater efficiency and durability, LEDs are used for lighting throughout the vehicle, including the distinctive new twin headlights, compact and integrated taillights and self-cancelling indicators.
Character and distinctive style of the dynamic new Tiger Sport 660
The new Tiger Sport 660 is the perfect blend of practicality and contemporary adventure sport design. Confident and uniquely poised, the new 660 features all-new bodywork sculpted in clean, flowing lines, from the cockpit with twin headlights to the taillights that match the lines of the rear end.
Additional premium styling touches include teardrop mirrors, radiator cowl, fork protectors and stainless steel silencers.
Available in three color options: the contemporary Lucerne Blue and Sapphire Black, the vibrant Korosi Red and Graphite with sporty graphics, and the minimalist Graphite and Black.
Lowest cost of ownership in the entire category
The new Tiger Sport 660 not only has the highest specification in its category, but is also competitively priced and has the lowest cost of ownership in its category. This includes 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or a 12-month service interval, plus a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, with the option to extend for one or two more years.
This has been made possible by the extensive testing programme that underpins Triumph's highly reliable engine platform.
This reliability is also reflected in the Tiger Sport's workshop costs being the lowest in its category: over the three-year service period, the Tiger Sport 660 requires just over eight hours of workshop time, the shortest in its category, and the Tiger Sport 660 has the lowest three-year maintenance parts costs, costing 17% less than its competitors.
