The Triumph Tiger 850 Sport is a veteran trail for those of Hinckley that had not reached our market until now... After the Tiger Sport 660, this will be the most accessible model from the British firm, where performance and equipment will be its main workhorses.
We know that the medium displacement trail adventure segment is one of the most disputed today in the two-wheeled industry. At Triumph they also know this and that is why they have wanted to further diversify their adventure range with a very veteran model which, in our market, had never been put on sale. We are talking about the new Tiger 850 Sport, the second most accessible model from the British that wants its bit of the market based on performance and technology.
Regarding its shapes, the new Triumph Tiger 850 Sports drinks from the design of its older sister, the Tiger 900. Thus, we find aggressive shapes, a sharp front end, and a narrow driving port dominated by a large 20-liter fuel tank. The idea is clear: maximum comfort and maximum autonomy, whether on a long trip or on a nice winding road.
Its most accessible three-cylinder adventure
We cannot include the Tiger Sport 660 within the adventure range as such since its approach is purely asphalt, so this new Tiger 850 Sport becomes de facto the most accessible three-cylinder adventure of Hinckley's. The Tiger 900 it also inherits the T-Plane crankshaft with the 1-3-2 firing order, but with a specific setting and the characteristic sound of this series of models.
Thus, its 888cc engine develops no less than 85 HP of power at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 82 Nm at 6,500 rpm. As always, torque delivery is linear, comfortable, and across most of the rev range. This is completed with an assisted clutch that will undoubtedly be of great help on long journeys -since it does not have a quick shifter-. By power, it will have a 35 kW version for users of the A2 card -with limitations on the grip and the switchboard-.
As for the cycle part, on the steel tube chassis, a set of Marzocchi suspensions have been added. In addition, the rear mono-shock stands out for its spring preload adjustment. What stands out the most in this regard is its braking, as the Tiger 850 Sport uses nothing less than BremboStylemamonobloc calipers to bite the two front-end discs. Of course, it is equipped with dual-channel ABS and, finally, with the electronic side, it also has disconnectable traction control and two driving modes: Road and Rain.
With adjustable height
Ergonomics is a key aspect in trail bikes and the Triumph 850 Sport was not going to be less. The seat, with a narrow and at the same time comfortable design, adds a height adjustment system in two options in +/- 20 mm, remaining, at its lowest height, 820 mm from the ground. All this in a set of 192 kg of dry weight and about 210 kg with all the fillings done.
The offroad vocation is reflected in its configuration of 19 and 17-inch wheels, respectively, and some mixed tires in sizes 100/90-19 and 150/70-17. The rest of the equipment consists of a 5-inch TFT screen with all the necessary information and an LED lighting system or adjustable screen. In addition, it can be associated with different equipment packages, where the central stand or the Trekker (52-liter trunk) and Expedition (42-litre) suitcase sets stand out.
The new Triumph Tiger 850 Sport is now available in the colors Graphite with Diablo Red and Graphite with Jet Black, at a price starting at 12.195 euros.
