Alleszins: dit 800-tje ziet er uit als de grote broer van een 1200-toermoto. Amai ni.
Triumph reveal new Tiger Sport 800 Tour complete with full luggage and heaps of practical add-ons
We’re big fans of Triumph’s Tiger Sport 800 here at MCN, and from next year the Hinckley manufacturer is set to bring a full bells-and-whistles ‘Tour’ version to the table.
Landing in dealerships from February priced £12,895, the Tiger Sport 800 Tour shares its underpinnings with its middleweight sibling – a bike which carries the accolade of being our current Best Tall-Rounder, having scooped this year’s award.
What sets it apart is a full ensemble of practical bolt-on goodies including heated grips, hand guards, a dual-comfort seat, tyre-pressure monitoring, and a centre stand. No tourer would be complete without plentiful luggage-stowing capabilities and, as such, the new machine also arrives sporting integrated, colour-matched panniers and a twin-helmet top box perched on an aluminium rack – with the full set-up able to swallow 106 litres. Triumph have also given the Tour a fresh lick of paint, offering it in Matt Cobalt or a bolder Carnival Red.

Performance remains unchanged from the base bike, although thanks to all those extras, at 232kg wet, it does have to lug an extra 18kg around. Power and torque are quoted at 113bhp and 62lb.ft respectively – with 90% of the latter available across the midrange. Running its 18.6-litre tank to dry should deliver 246 miles if Triumph’s 60.1mpg figure is to be believed.
Suspension and braking hardware go unchanged and tech levels likewise are unaltered, meaning owners will get three riding modes, switchable traction control, cornering ABS and traction control, plus Triumph Shift Assist. There’s also full connectivity via the My Triumph system, as well as an LCD/TFT display and all-LED lighting.
