Coming soon: 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 660

Given the number of bikes Triumph sells under the Tiger name it can be a little confusing making sense of them all. But let’s try! To wit, this newly updated Sport 660 sits at the entry to the range, and is joined by the new and considerably more powerful Tiger Sport 800 announced previously and with which it shares its basic foundations. With matched 17-inch wheels and more road-oriented manners these are the sports tourer or commuter end of the Tiger spectrum.

From there you can go up to the Tiger 900, which has a bigger engine and physically more imposing stance thanks to its larger 19-inch front wheel. You can also get this as a Rally Pro version with longer-travel suspension and wire wheels with a 21-inch front if your ambitions include a bit of off road. Sitting atop them all is the big 1200, again with road-biased and more off-road Rally options and the power and tech to play with the BMW GS and Ducati Multistrada crowd.
But let’s get back down to earth with this new 2025 Tiger Sport 660, which is fundamentally similar to the one it replaces but now includes a ton of extra tech for a marginal £50 increase in price to £8,995. Which seems pretty reasonable, considering you now get things like cruise control, a quickshifter, cornering ABS/traction control and an additional Sport riding mode in addition to the existing Rain and Road.

At its heart is, of course, the 660cc version of Triumph’s signature triple with a healthy 81 horsepower and 64Nm of torque, and the option to detune it to restricted A2 licence trim if you’re a younger rider or just starting out. This engine and things like the upside-down forks put it at an advantage over near rivals like the Yamaha Tracer 7, which uses a parallel-twin and conventional forks where the Triumph gets snazzier looking upside down ones. True, the Yamaha is a fraction cheaper and lighter but the creamy power delivery of that Triumph triple gives it a real test ride selling point over most of its rivals, while this extra kit goes a long way to mitigating its slightly chunkier price.

The changes to the Tiger Sport 660 reflect similar ones recently announced for the Trident 660 on which it is based, the Tiger sharing much of the same character on paper but with the added practicality of a screen and wider operating window up to and including commuting and touring as you see fit. An all-rounder, but one with the sporty foundations to keep you entertained when the mood or opportunity takes.
We’ll be riding the bike soon so stay tuned for more on what these changes mean out on the road where it really counts.
