Triumph Motorcycles India has announced the launch of the new Tiger Sport 660 in our market at an ex-showroom (India) price tag of Rs 8.95 lakh. Here we list the top five highlights of this new, entry-level model of the Tiger adventure tourer family.
Styling
The new Tiger Sport 660 is based on the Trident Sport 660 roadster. However, this model, which is designed for touring purposes, features a semi-fairing design and a tall-windscreen to provide better windblast protection. Other styling elements include a twin-pod headlight, a step-up seat, split-style grabrail, and an underbelly exhaust. The fuel tank is joined by sharp extensions and a radiator cowl. While the Tiger Sport 660 does not resemble the rest of the Tiger models that are sold in the Indian market, it draws styling inspiration from the Tiger Sport 1050 that was sold in the international markets. Buyers can further customise the motorcycle with over 40 optional accessories. These accessories are backed by a two-year/unlimited-kilometer warranty.
Colours
The colour choices include three options – Lucerne Blue with Sapphire Black, Graphite & Sapphire Black, and Korosi Red & Graphite.
Features
The feature list is similar to the Trident 660, and the new Tiger Sport 660 packs full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-ready fully-digital instrument cluster as standard. The electronic rider aids include two riding modes (road and rain), switchable traction control, and ABS.
Engine
Similar to the feature list, the mechanical specifications, too, are similar to the Trident 660. Thus, the Tiger Sport 660 is powered by the 660cc, inline three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as the the Trident 660. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, the motor is tuned to produce 80bhp of power at 10,250rpm and 64Nm of peak torque at 6,250rpm. The gearbox packs an assist and slipper clutch mechanism. The service interval is rated at 16,000km.
Hardware
The new Tiger Sport 660 is built around a steel perimeter frame. The suspension tasks are handled by Showa-sourced upside down forks and a rear monoshock – both featuring a longer travel rating than the Trident 660. The braking hardware comprises dual discs at the front and a single rotor at the rear – both using Nissin callipers.
