The new Tiger Sport 660 comes out as a derivation of the Trident 660 which is the most affordable bike available from Triumph Motorcycles. The new Tiger Sport 660 uses the same main frame as the donor bike, however, the rear subframe has been modified to suit the usage as per requirements of an adventure bike.

The 660 cc triple-cylinder powertrain from the Trident 660 is also carried over. It has been rated to churn out the same 81 bhp of power and 64Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox and an optional up/down quickshifter.
Some of the key features on the bike include LED headlights, modern-looking Bluetooth-ready TFT instrument console, riding modes - Road and Rain, a switchable traction control and ABS. For suspension duties, the bike uses non-adjustable 41mm USD fork and a pre-load adjustable shock with a remote preload adjuster.
Being placed as the middleweight adventure touring bikes, the Tiger Sport 660 set sight on bikes such as the Kawasaki Versys 650 and Suzuki V-Storm 650 XT.
