2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 first look
Few manufacturers can reuse and reimagine models like Triumph.
They've transformed a handful of platforms into a full range of bikes across the spectrum of riding disciplines, leaving only a few genres untouched. So it's no surprise that the Trident 660 isn't just a new model. It's a new platform and the next iteration is the new Tiger Sport 660.
Positioned as a “middleweight adventure sport” model, the Tiger Sport 660 uses the same chassis, engine and tuning as the Trident with additional bodywork and features. Triumph representatives said they expect buyers to come from two directions: new riders looking for a great first bike and experienced riders wanting a quality all-rounder.
Positioned between the Trident (€8.195) and the Tiger 850 Sport (€11.995). Let's see what it's about
Engine and chassis
The 660cc triple is exactly the same as the Trident. It makes a claimed 80 horsepower at 10.250 rpm and 47 pound-feet of torque at 6.250 rpm. Service intervals are best-in-class at 10.000 miles between dealer trips.
Triumph made some changes to the Tiger Sport's chassis to give it more versatility, like a reinforced subframe that can accommodate the weight of a passenger and plenty of cargo. The swingarm has been lengthened and the suspension has been optimized for sports duty. Remote reservoir for the rear suspension unit offers easy preload adjustment for varying weights. And a 4,5-gallon tank returns a claimed range of 230 miles, which should be plenty for a middleweight like this. The entire enchilada weighs a claimed 454 pounds.
Features and technology
Triumph says their unique engine and long service intervals will make the Tiger competitive, but they've hedged their bets with a modern tech suite that includes two riding modes, switchable traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, key and even a quick change accessory.
Not all Tiger Sport features rely on digital technology. Some touring touches include a one-hand adjustable front windshield and saddlebag mounts integrated into the tail. The accessory saddlebags are 57 liters combined; the accessory top box offers 52 litres. (One full-size helmet per saddlebag or two in the top case.)
Lonely triple in its category
The whole package feels sensible and straightforward, powered by “[our] most reliable and successful engine platform,” in Triumph's words. Perhaps a second generation could offer cruise control and a center stand (or a belt drive). Tiger Sport 660s will hit U.S. dealerships in February 2022 in Graphite/Black, Lucerne Blue/Sapphire Black and Korosi Red/Graphite (for an additional €125).
