FIRST LOOK: 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660

If you’re in the market for an all-capable motorcycle, you might find the answer in the all-new Triumph Tiger Sport 660.

Built on the same platform as the Trident 660, the Tiger Sport 660 features the same triple-cylinder engine as its naked sibling and is set to go up against the Kawasaki Versys 650, Suzuki V-Strom 650 and the Yamaha Tracer 7.

The triple powerplant delivers around 79hp @ 10,250rpm, and 64Nm @ 6,250rpm, with the British firm, claims 90 per cent of the torque is available from 3,600rpm.

Like the Trident, the Tiger Sport 660 features two riding modes, Road and Rain, ride-by-wire with 6-speed transmission, and a slipper/clutch.

Braking is done by twin 2-piston Nissin radial callipers paired to a 310mm disc at the front and a 255mm disc at the rear. It also features dual-channel ABS that’s, unfortunately, can’t be turn off.

Other exciting features include 41mm Showa USD front forks with 150mm travel ad Showa rear monoshock with hydraulic preload adjustable.

  • 835mm seat height
  • 17.2L fuel tank
  • LED lights with self-cancelling indicators
  • TFT display with My Triumph connectivity
  • Triumph Shift Assist up/down quickshifter (optional)
  • heated grips (optional)
  • under-seat USB charger (optional)
  • TPMS (optional)

Looking at the success of the Trident, the Tiger Sport 660 will follow the same formula and expand to a broader audience that seeks comfort and practicality.

It could potentially become the best seller from the Hinckley factory.
