The New 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 Tourer
The 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is a new middleweight sport-tourer built on the Trident 660 platform that was introduced last year. Triumph has its adventure bike bases covered with its various Tiger 850, Tiger 900, and Tiger 1200 models. But since the Tiger 1050 and Trophy were dropped from the lineup in recent years, it no longer has a sport-tourer in its lineup. Rather than go after the high-dollar, high-tech open-class sport-touring segment – which has all but dried up due to the popularity of adventure bikes – Triumph focused on the valued-priced middleweight segment, where it goes head-to-head with stalwarts like the Honda NC750X and Kawasaki Versys 650.
The Tiger Sport 660, which has a base price of $9,295. From the 17-inch cast wheels to the Nissin braking system and Michelin Road 5 tires, Hinckley leverages much of the Trident’s core components for the new model. Unique in this price and displacement class is the Tiger’s liquid-cooled, 12-valve, 660cc inline-Triple, a versatile engine that produces 80 horsepower at 10,250 rpm and 47 lb-ft of torque at 6,250 rpm (claimed at the crank). It also has ride modes (Road and Rain), switchable traction control, and ABS, but alas, no cruise control.
