The 2026 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 gets a big upgrade in the form of a significantly revised 660cc inline-Triple engine. With a bump to 94 horsepower, a higher redline, and major internal updates like three individual throttle bodies, a larger airbox, and revised cam profiles, the middleweight sport-tourer now feels far more lively and engaging than before.
But while the engine transforms the riding experience, the rest of the bike tells a more nuanced story.
During the international press launch in Alicante, Spain, the Tiger Sport 660 showed off its agile chassis in the curvy roads and its comfortable ergonomics in the straight ones. However, the soft suspension and limited adjustability became a big choke point when the pace picked up in the Spanish canyons. Add in brakes that feel a little spongy and an ABS system that intervenes early and often, and the Tiger Sport ends up leaning more toward comfort and daily usability than aggressive sport riding.
Still, at $10,295, the Tiger Sport 660 remains an attractive middleweight sport-touring option — and the only one in the class with a charismatic three-cylinder engine.
In this video, Troy Siahaan gives his first ride impressions of the updated Tiger Sport 660 and explains where it shines, where it falls short, and how it stacks up against competitors like the Honda NC750X and Kawasaki Versys 650.
