Highlights

  • Triumph Tiger Sport 660 to be priced at around Rs. 8.5 lakh (Ex-showroom)
  • Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is based on the Triumph Trident 660
  • Features longer travel suspension, touring-friendly ergonomics

Triumph Motorcycles will launch the all-new Triumph Tiger Sport 660 in India on March 29, 2022. Based on the Triumph Trident 660 roadster, the Tiger Sport 660 is more of a sport-touring motorcycle, rather than an off-road focussed purpose-built ADV. Although based on the Trident 660 platform, the Tiger Sport 660 will get its own distinctive style and flavour, including a more upright riding position, longer suspension travel, along with a half-fairing with a windscreen. It's going to be priced slightly higher than the Trident 660 it's based on. Here's a look at what we can expect from the new Triumph Tiger Sport 660.

The Triumph Tiger Sport 660 comes with an upright riding position, with a half-fairing, twin LED headlamps and a height-adjustable windshield for long journeys out on the highway.

Design

The Triumph Tiger Sport 660 may have the "Tiger" name, but the design isn't similar to the Tiger 900. Keeping in line with the tarmac-oriented personality, the Tiger Sport 660 has more of a touring design, with twin LED headlamps on the half-fairing, as well as a tall height-adjustable windshield. The fuel tank capacity has been increased to 17 litres (compared to the 14-litre fuel tank of the Trident 660), and the Tiger Sport 660 also gets a new cockpit, with a new instrument console, as well as different ergonomics, with a more upright riding position, and better weather protection for long hours in the saddle.

It's available in three colour options, Lucerne Blue and Sapphire Black, Korosi Red and Graphite, and a third, Graphite and Black colour option. The instrument console comes with a TFT display and is ready for the accessory-fit MyTriumph connectivity system. The seat height is at 835 mm, while kerb weight is 206 kg. Fuel consumption is claimed at 22.2 kmpl.

The Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is built for tarmac adventures and although it is based on the Trident 660, it features different ergonomics and longer travel suspension.

Longer Travel Suspension

The Tiger Sport 660 runs on 17-inch wheels, keeping with the road-oriented bias of the model. Suspension travel though has ben increased with 150 mm travel at both ends. The Showa 41 mm upside down front fork is non-adjustable, while the monoshock gets a remote preload adjuster. The Nissin brakes are also shared with the Trident 660, with two-piston sliding calipers gripping 310 mm twin front discs, and a single-piston caliper gripping a single 255 mm disc on the rear wheel. The reinforced rear sub-frame get integrated pannier mounts for easy fitment of accessory panniers.

The 660 cc inline three-cylinder engine is shared with the Trident 660, and produces the same power; 80 bhp at 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm at 6,250 rpm.

Engine & Performance

The 660 cc inline three-cylinder engine is shared with the Trident 660, and produces the same power; 80 bhp at 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm at 6,250 rpm. Performance is expected to be similar to the Trident 660, with its free-revving character, which is entertaining, and at the same time un-intimidating for new and inexperienced riders. Like the Trident 660, the Tiger Sport 660 is also expected to come with a two-year unlimited kilometres warranty, with an option to extend it for one or two years, and also comes with 16,000 km, or 12 months service intervals, to keep maintenance costs low.

The Triumph Tiger Sport 660is expected to be priced at around Rs. 8.5 lakh (Ex-showroom).

Expected Price & Competition

We expect the new Triumph Tiger Sport 660 to be launched with a price tag of between Rs. 8.5-9 lakh (Ex-showroom). If Triumph Motorcycles India decides to keep the on-road price of the Tiger Sport 660 below the psychological Rs. 10 lakh bracket, this one looks set to be a winner, and will possibly be a popular sport tourer from the British motorcycle brand in India. The new Triumph Tiger Sport 660 will go up against the likes of the popular Kawasaki Versys 650 (Rs. 7.15 lakh) and the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT (Rs. 8.84 lakh).
