New Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Launched for 2025
Triumph has taken the covers off its new middleweight sports tourer, the Tiger Sport 800
A brand-new 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 has been launched and there’s no doubt what its competition will be.
The Tiger Sport 800 is set to hit showrooms in March 2025 and its the British company’s middleweight that will fit in between the Tiger 660 and Tiger 900.
With an RRP of £10,995 the new Tiger Sport 800 receives more power and torque than the outgoing middleweight member of the family, the Tiger 850 Sport. But its impressive power output does not stop there as it is within reach of the Tiger 1050 Sport which was discontinued back in 2021.
The Tiger Sport 800 possesses a 798cc triple-cylinder engine that makes an eye-popping 113bhp and 62Ib ft of torque. These are some shiny numbers that Triumph will be proud of, however, the new Tiger Sport 800 is about more than just that.
The triple-cylinder’s engine produces 90 per cent of its peak torque in the mid-range. As a result the Yamaha Tracer 9 and BMW’s F900XR - both of which match up similarly in that regard - are likely to be its competition.
Interestingly, Triumph claims its new powerplant shares ‘some’ limited hardware with its 765cc motor from the Street Triple 765, including the 78mm bore. However, with a longer 55.7mm stroke and plenty of other differences, the 800 triple sports tourer is anything but a poor man’s version of the Street Triple engine.
Despite being bigger than the Tiger Sport 660, Triumph has managed to pack the new 800 model into the same chassis used by the 660, with engine dimensions being very similar. The frame and swingarm are identical but the new model gets a flashier suspension set-up.
Its Showa package provides 150mm of travel front and rear, with fully adjustable 41mm upside-down forks and a Showa monoshock at the rear. The Tiger Sport 800’s braking set-up features radial-mounted four-piston front calipers around 310mm twin discs, with a single-piston rear caliper fitted to a 255mm disc.
Triumph claims a fuel economy figure just exceeding 60mpg, meaning the Tiger 800, thanks to its 18.6-litre tank, should produce a little under 250 miles.
A six axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) means that Triumph’s newest addition to the Tiger family comes with cornering optimised ABS and traction control. There are also three riding modes to toggle between - Road, Rain and Sport.
Cruise control and a bi-directional quickshifter come standard with the new bike, and the TFT dash includes phone pairing courtesy of the My Triumph Connectivity System. This will allow riders to use turn-by-turn navigation, make phone calls, and have music control via Bluetooth.
Four colourways are included and they are ‘Sapphire Black’ - comes with the standard price, while ‘Graphite, ‘Cosmic Yellow’, and ‘Caspian Blue’ all take the bike’s RRP to £11,095.
