In October 2021, British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph launched the Tiger Sport 660 globally, making it the brand’s entry-level motorcycle. To fulfil its aim of targeting key markets, Triumph has announced that it will launch the new ADV motorcycle in India. Prior to the launch, Triumph has already started accepting bookings for the Tiger Sport 660 for INR 50,000.

The Tiger Sport 660 sports a sharp front fascia with all-new bodywork and sculpted teardrop mirrors at the front. Accentuating its adventure sports design are the muscular radiator shrouds, fork protectors, a tall windscreen, and a mid-ship mounted exhaust. Other design elements of the bike include twin LED headlamps with LED DRLs and turn indicators and a 17-litre fuel tank.

Triumph offers the Tiger Sport 660 in 3 colour options Lucerne Blue, Sapphire Black, and Korosi Red. With specific design cues inspired from the Tiger Sport 850, the Tiger Sport 650 is the most affordable Tiger yet.

Triumph in India

In the Indian market, where the premium motorcycle segment has seen a 10% degrowth between Nov 2020 and Oct 2021, the iconic British brand has observed a 30% growth in the same period. More than 50% growth in sales is from CKD (Completely Knocked Down) models. And reports suggest that the brand is likely to bring the Tiger Sport 660 in India via the CKD route to keep prices competitive. The brand is using the same route to bring the Triumph Trident as well.
