Triumph Tiger Sport 660 | First Ride | PowerDrift
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is the newest motorcycle in the middleweight ADV segment. However, with the Sport badge it carries, the motorcycle has no intention of going off-road. It’s based on the Trident 660 and has the same engine, tuning, gearing, and frame but with a few other changes to match its credentials. Priced at Rs 8.95 lakh (ex-showroom), the Tiger Sport 660 is more expensive than the Kawasaki Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT. Shumi finds out how the entry-level Tiger rides.

Any Idea if Yamaha T7 is coming to India?
Somewhere in the last 4-5 years, the cost of owning these high end bikes has increased exponentially, it has become tough to purchase a new machine (I did buy Tiger 800 in 2017, but now it is costing me really high). So now to increase sales or target more audience, these big player are launching smaller bikes which is not to the mark of their flagships. I predict that future trends does not look good. Maybe, I am wrong and looking this via different prospective, but we are loosing on quality over quantity.

Well the new triumph tiger 660 is handsome look ADV Sports tourer. The design looks sharp and it gives a big bike feel compared to Trident 660 which it is based on. Then the 660 cc triple cylinder engine it has more power, its refined and it sounds absolutely superb.even. though the weight has gone up its still an easy to Ride bike. The extra power helps the tiger go faster. The features are also its good electronics, Bluetooth, navigation,etc. Yes thier are some issues it doesn't have that ADV stands compared to its rivals and bigger tiger, it's not as off road capable, also the price is little bit higher. Still its a very good choice for those who want a good looking practical sports touring bike. Love to see a comparison between the tiger - versys - and the V strom650 .
Finally! A man who critiques the bike and doesn't just do infomercials for the bike
Now Honda needs to come with a 650 adventure
Excellent, this is what exactly I felt about suspension. Will it capable of doing 200kmphr is my primary question?. I don't like Versys 650 top end performance, poor weight management even though it has better suspension. And Vstrom is not available in TN, obviously single headlight is ugly. What could be your opinion Tiger sport 660 or else Tiger sport 850 is it worth putting extra 4.5 lakh ?
Where are you pick starting music?
That’s a nice video… Haven’t seen anyone speak about the Tiger Sport 660 so honestly… A comparison video of Versys and Vstrom is very much welcome…. On a little crazy note would also love to see a comparison between this and the Tiger 850 sport just to understand if the price difference of the two is justified ….…
The price this Tiger comes in now only makes the Versys 650 more appealing
Shumi, like your review format and narration. You coverage of suspension in detail for all bike reviews is what I mainly look forward to. No one does it so well. The desirability of bike me starts with suspension which in India is poorly focused by most manufacturers.
comparison tiger 660& Versys & v-strom please Updated Versys 650 2022 coming ?? Should I wait for 6 months
I think at this price point, honda cb 500x is a favourable proposition for a touring friendly motorcycle and it doesn't exude fumes and that parallel twin engine with reliability and refinement is an icing on the cake. With much better fuel efficiency and affordable maintenance cost it really makes sense now.

Nice bike and nice review as always Shumi. I would just go with the Trident 660. But then again, that might just be me.
I am not a potential buyer after having “experience” with triumph with tiger and Daytona, just curious that how triumph is going to justify almost 2L price difference from it’s closest competitor and hardly 1-1.5 L cheaper than its own elder brother which offers bigger and better engine, chassis, suspension, components like the meter console etc 🤷🏼♂️ Somehow the so called “costly” original shaft driven bike is feeling vfm now.
would be great to see the comparison be the 3 bikes - TS660, VStrom & Versys. I believe that the Versys has the best value package, but will still like to hear the experts opinions

Hi shumi, I have a question... Whenever i ride bikes on mountains, after some time My mind gets switched to "auto-drive" mode where i just follow the road and curves. I don't like that mode cause there's room for mistakes and my response time to any situation gets lower. My friends suggest me to listen to songs but that too sounds risky. What is the solution to that??

By looks tiger 660 really looks more like faired Supersport bike from front. As a first time buy it will be good but with versus and vstrom it's gonna be difficult for the tiger. Considering versys 650 will be getting a huge update in its coming iteration

All good until the 2022 Versys LT makes it's way. The music of the inline three is the only USP I see for the TS660.
A comparison with the other 2 bikes would be nice

I do see some drawbacks in the motorcycle and rightly highlighted by Shumi, feel like Triumph could have provided a bigger pillion seat for better pillion comfort on long rides and cost also could have been priced well. Still looks like Versys and V Strom make a better case for themselves. #Raj RideStories
Tiger Sport 660 look like Versys
Nothing beats the Versys, the name says it all. Unfortunately, the Tiger in 660 isn't more than just a cub with that price.

Super review Shumi and team PD. Really loved the reviews from PD, ZW & OD on this one. The comparison with the Versys and V Strom will be most instructive. Look forward to that one. The 660 Tiger has its work cut out. Depending on the kind of riding / use case one has, there’s something else at a comparable price point that would likely do it better, whether its the Versys, V Strom or even the Street Triple R.
In my country versys cost It doesn't mean it is bad i had 2023 hornet and it was blast. It's just many people looking for something that is different. 2. 67hp vs 80hp is a significant difference

I’m confused between this and CB500X. My choice for a bike- Comfortable ergonomics, no vibration in the RPM band of 4000-6000, service cost.
