The New Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Likely To Replace With Tiger 850 Sport
The New Triumph Tiger Sport 800 is back with a roar and this time it is going to be replaced with Tiger 850 Sport. Triumph has reinvented its middleweight Tiger Sport model to become even more road-focused with this new 800. Triumph has revealed the new Tiger Sport 800, which replaces the Tiger 850 Sport in the line-up. This bike rolls on 17-inch wheels at both ends, unlike the 19/17-inch wheels on the 850 Sport. These are shod with sticky sport-touring Michelin Road 5 tyres size 120/70-ZR17 (front) and 180/55-ZR17 (rear). The styling and tyre sizes here are very much similar to the smaller Tiger Sport 660. A new 798cc, 3-cylinder engine powers the Tiger Sport 800, rated at 115hp and 84Nm of torque, making it more powerful than even the updated Tiger 900 GT.
The Tiger Sport 800 has 41mm USD fork and monoshock, that suspend the perimeter frame. The fork can be adjusted for compression and preload, while the monoshock can be tuned for rebound and preload, with a convenient remote adjuster available for the latter. Braking is handled by Triumph-branded, radially mounted 4-piston calipers with 310mm discs at the front and a single piston caliper with a 255mm disc at the rear. With its large 18.6-litre tank fully brimmed, the Tiger Sport 800 weighs 214kg, which should give it a decent range on a full tank.
The Tiger Sport 800 has got the basics covered with three riding modes – Sport, Road, and Rain which are available, along with cruise control, a bidirectional quickshifter, traction control, and dual-channel ABS. The riding aids benefit from the presence of a six-axis IMU, for more precise and lenient intervention. All these functions on the Tiger Sport 800 are controlled by the same display as the Daytona 660 and Tiger Sport 660.
Accessories like a centre stand and colour-matched panniers are available straight from Triumph’s accessory catalogue. The bike will be available internationally from March 2025 onwards with four colour options which are offered on the Tiger Sport 800 – yellow, blue, black and grey. An India launch is expected sometime next year. The competitors to the Tiger Sport 800 are the BMW F 900 XR, Ducati Multistrada V2 and the upcoming Kawasaki Versys 1100. The new Tiger 850 Sport is expected to be priced around Rs 11.95 lakh upon its launch.
