Triumph Tiger 850 Sport

Triumph Tiger 850 Sport is priced from Rs 11.95 lakh (ex-showroom India) and offered in only one variant.

The Triumph Tiger 850 Sport looks almost identical to the Tiger 900 with sleek LED headlights, small beak, and slimmer body panels. If it weren’t for the stickers, the Tiger 850 Sport could be easily mistaken for the Tiger 900.

It features an adjustable windscreen and a large 20-litre fuel tank that'll keep you on the road for longer. Then there's the 5-inch TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity and LED lights all around. The 850 Sport tips the scale at 192kg, with a seat height of 830mm which can be lowered to 810mm. On the electronics front, the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport gets two riding modes: Rain and Road, switchable traction control, and dual-channel ABS.

The Triumph Tiger 850 Sport packs a slightly detuned 888cc inline triple compared to the Tiger 900. At 85PS and 82Nm, the motor is 10PS and 5Nm lower than the Tiger 900. Triumph says the changes made to the engine are intended to make the bike easier to ride. The Tiger 850 comes equipped with long-travel USD forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear, both from Marzocchi. Anchoring the bike are twin 320mm discs mated to Brembo 4-piston monobloc callipers up front and a rear 255mm disc clamped by a Brembo twin-pot calliper. The Triumph Tiger 850 Sport uses a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup wrapped with Michelin Anakee Adventure dual-purpose tyres.

The Tiger 850 Sport competes against the BMW F 900 XR and the Ducati Multistrada 950. For a similar price, you can also get the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX.

Triumph sells the Tiger 850 Sport in only one variant but two colour options: Graphite Caspian Blue and Graphite Diablo Red
