Triumph has unveiled the updated MY25 version of the Tiger Sport 660 today. The bike will continue to co-exist with the recently launched Tiger Sport 800 and gets additional rider focused features in the updated avatar.

Updates include:
+ A new ‘Sport’ rider mode
+ Smartphone connectivity with turn by turn navigation as standard
+ Cruise Control
+ Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter.
+ Optimised Cornering ABS with a 6 axis IMU and traction control also included as standard

Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud said: “The Tiger Sport 660 delivers a better combination of performance, versatility and fun, than any other middleweight adventure sport bike. Since 2021, this model has won awards for its confidence-inspiring, agile and sporty ride. In fact, our customers have told us that they find this bike so capable, they want to travel longer distances, so we have been looking at how we can make the ride even more comfortable.

“That’s why we’ve introduced extra rider-focused technology for 2025. With Optimised Cornering ABS and traction control included as standard, plus Cruise Control and Triumph Shift Assist, this bike offers riders incredibly good value compared to the competition. Coupled with the Tiger Sport 660’s low cost of ownership, I believe we have created a very compelling overall package.”

The Tiger Sport 660 is powered by a 660cc, inline triple engine that delivers 81 PS at 10,250 RPM and 64 Nm of torque at 6,250 RPM. 90% of the peak torque is claimed to be available throughout the rev range. Slip and Assist clutch clutch is available and is now assisted by a 6 speed gearbox with quick shifter up and down as standard. Fuel tank size is 17.5 litres.

Showa 41mm upside-down cartridge forks and monoshock rear suspension with preload adjustment continues to do the suspension duties. Michelin Road 5 tyres, Nissin twin 310mm disc brakes are continued forward from the earlier version. Wet weight is now at 207 kg while the seat height remains at 835mm.

Customers can choose Sapphire Black or from three colours; Roulette Green, Carnival Red or Crystal White. The bike will be priced at £8995 (as compared to £8945 of the outgoing version) in the UK and available for deliveries from January 2025.

As an owner of the current gen bike, what are your first thoughts on this news. Do you think it makes sense to wait for the new gen bike (if your budget permits) or consider the previous gen (new or used). Are the differences significant enough?

I would wait unless the year-end discounts are very significant. The updates have just added £50 to the price tag, hence it is a no-brainer IMHO.

Two of the new features (Smartphone connectivity with turn by turn navigation and Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter) were available as accessories earlier. My bike had these two already added. But the accessories were costlier as compared to the asking price now.

Sport Mode is ok to live without - should be a new and more responsive engine map that can be compensated with a heavier right hand.

But Cruise Control and 6 axis IMU that enables cornering ABS are hardware additions that are worth much more than the asking price for the updates.

Great insights bro. I think the 800 is also enticing lets see how they price.

That is £2000 more than the MY25 660, so expect a price of around 11.5L ex showroom - midway between the Tiger Sport 660 at ~7.5L and the Tiger 900 GT at ~14L ex-showroom.
