Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

The Tiger Sport is a riding machine that can do much more than promised in the brochure. It was sportier than I thought it would be, but at the same time it offered more riding comfort.

Very universal

very agile handling but still easy and safe to drive

high ride comfort

great price / performance ratio

great tuned engine.

The Tiger Sport succeeds in almost all areas. Only in the suspension setup is the compromise, which is what this vehicle is, noticeable in some situations.
