Triumph Tiger 660 Sport
Design
Customers in India love semi-fairing and the recently discontinued Pulsar 220F is a perfect example to support this. The upcoming Tiger 660 Sport is obviously a sports tourer and because of that, Triumph has tried its best to maintain the overall balance. Dimension-wise, it remains compact with the length rated at 2071mm, width at 834mm, height at 1315mm and wheelbase at 1418mm.
In terms of features, it is equipped with all the modern elements to stay relevant. Starting with the front, it comes with an LED headlight and a TFT instrument cluster. Similarly, to keep the rider safe and secure, Triumph Motorcycle has decided to offer ABS and traction control as standard.
Hardware
To stop this powerful bike, the British brand has decided to employ twin 310mm discs upfront. Similarly, at the back, it comes equipped with a single 255mm disc for enough stopping power.
Engine
At the heart, the all-new Triumph Tiger 660 Sport is equipped with the same 660cc three-cylinder engine that we have already witnessed on the Trident. As claimed by the spec sheet, this unit is similarly tuned to churn out a massive 81PS and 64Nm while being paired to a 6-speed gearbox. For an unmatched experience, it will also get a slip and assist clutch as a standard feature.
Also, two ride modes, namely Rain and Road are there to alter the performance depending on the terrain.
Alternatives
In India, the upcoming Tiger 660 Sport will go head-on against the likes of CFMoto GT650. Planning to enter this segment? Here are some important points related to GT650 down below.
