2016 Triumph Tiger Sport Officially Unveiled

In terms of design and looks, as mentioned earlier, the Triumph Tiger Sport is more inspired from the Speed Triple than the Tiger series. But it doesn't mean that the new Tiger Sport lacks the touring capabilities of its lineage. The bike efficiently carries those bold design elements and aggressive character lines. The fairing design at the front looks much clean and well-crafted and it also comes with the 1050 stickering. The Tiger Sport comes with twin-beam headlamps and longer visor for managing windblast. The single and wide seat and riding posture looks well-designed and match the tourer persona of the bike.

As for features, the new 2016 Triumph Tiger Sport comes with ride-by-wire throttle, multiple riding modes, multi-level traction control, cruise control and ABS as standard. Other equipment includes adjustable windscreen, Slipper clutch, revised free-flow exhaust system, grippier footpegs, redesigned rear-view mirrors and new matt-black or aluminium-silver paintjobs. Thanks to the new-age electronics, the Tiger Sport, as mentioned earlier, comes three driving modes - Rain, Road and Sport.

The bike sports the latest version of Triumph's popular 1050cc in-line-three engine that also powers the 2016 Speed Triple but has been retuned for the Tiger Sport. While the actual power figures and specifications are yet to be announced, the engine is claimed to deliver better fuel economy and increased torque. Talking about the engine Triumph says, "Designed to tackle every journey, from a trip to the office to a lap of your favourite Sunday afternoon ride, the new Tiger Sport isn't just an everyday motorcycle - it's a motorcycle you will want to ride every day."

Currently both the Tiger 800 and the Explorer are on sale in India, but it's unlikely that the Tiger Sport will be launched in India anytime soon.
