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.
This bike rolls on 17-inch wheels at both ends, unlike the 19/17-inch wheels on the 850 Sport, shod with sticky sport-touring Michelin Road 5 tyres.
A 41mm USD fork and monoshock, both supplied by Showa, suspend the perimeter frame of the Tiger Sport 800.
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.
Three riding modes – Sport, Road, and Rain – are available, along with cruise control, a bidirectional quickshifter, traction control, and dual-channel ABS.
Accessories like a centre stand and colour-matched panniers are available straight from Triumph’s accessory catalogue.
The Tiger 850 Sport was priced at Rs 11.95 lakh (ex-showroom, India), so expect the new 800 to find itself in that ballpark upon launch.
