The Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is based on the Triumph Trident 660
Triumph Motorcycles has launched the new Triumph Tiger Sport 660, a sport-touring machine, based on the Triumph Trident 660, in India with an introductory price of ₹ 8.95 lakh (Ex-showroom). The Trident 660 is the bestselling entry-level roadster in its category, and Triumph’s second highest selling model in India, after the Triumph Street Twin. According to Triumph, the new Tiger Sport 660 is expected to bring in new customers into the Triumph brand with its blend of easy ride-ability, entertaining performance and versatile personality. The new Tiger Sport 660 is offered in three colours – Lucerne Blue & Sapphire Black, Graphite with Sapphire Black, and Korosi Red & Graphite. Customer deliveries will begin from the end of April 2022.
The Tiger Sport 660 is offered with a two-year, unlimited mileage warranty, 16,000 km service interval to keep maintenance costs low. In India, the new Tiger Sport 660 will compete against the likes of the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-Stron 650 XT. Although it carries the famous “Tiger” name, the Tiger Sport 660 is not an out-and-out off-road focussed ADV but built for what Triumph calls “tarmac adventures.” It does get a tall-ish stance, with a sporty-looking half-fairing, an adjustable windshield and upright riding position.
