Electronics updates for the middleweight sport-tourer

Triumph announced electronic updates to the Tiger Sport 660, giving it a new ride mode, a bidirectional quickshifter, cruise control, and lean-sensitive rider aids.

If all this sounds familiar, it’s because these updates are similar to the changes announced for the Trident 660 roadster last month. This should not come as a surprise, given the shared platform for the two bikes.

The engine remains the same 660cc Triple claiming 80 hp at 10,250 rpm and 47.2 lb-ft. at 6,250 rpm as the 2024 model, but the new Sport ride mode offers a snappier throttle response than the returning Rain and Road modes.

A slip and assist clutch offers smoother, and easier shifting, and that’s further aided by the up-and-down quickshifter now offered as standard equipment.

A new six-axis unlocks lean-sensitive traction control and ABS for added safety. Cruise control is also now available as standard, helping reduce fatigue on longer rides. The LCD display with integrated TFT screen returns to help manage the electronic settings.

Apart from the new electronics, the Tiger Sport 660 is essentially unchanged. The engine is mounted to a tubular steel perimeter frame. Showa supplies the 41mm inverted separate function cartridge fork and remote preload adjustable rear shock, both offering 5.9 inches of travel. The front wheel is equipped with dual Nissin two-piston calipers and 310mm discs, while the rear employs a single 255mm disc and single-piston caliper.

The 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 arrives in dealerships in January. U.S. pricing starts at $9,695 for the sapphire Black color option, but for $9,820, you can get the Carnival Red, Crystal White, or Roulette Green options.
