Triumph Tiger 850 Sport vs Ducati Hypermotard 950 Comparison

The new Tiger 850 Sport is positioned as an entry-level offering in the Tiger line-up and is the brand’s most affordable adventurer tourer. It is targeted at first-time ADV buyers and tourers looking for more road-biased mannerisms and easy ride-ability over a fully-blown off-road motorcycle. Compared to the Tiger 900, the new 850 Sport is about Rs. 1.75 lakh cheaper, while sharing most of its underpinnings with the Tiger 900 including the frame, engine, and electronics to an extent. 

The third-generation Hypermotard takes inspiration, and strengthens its ties with the supermoto racing world, and has aggressive lines, and an "adrenaline fuelled personality," according to Ducati. With dual under-tail silencers, the Hypermotard 950 offers an aggressive and sporty machine with an upright riding position, offering ergonomics derived from the super moto world. Buying the Hypermotard 950 will always be a decision of the heart and not the head.
