Triumph Tiger Sport 660 2022

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 2022

With its three-cylinder engine and high-quality equipment, Triumph has made a real statement with the Tiger Sport 660. In the small sports tourer class, it stands out from the field and offers a good compromise between sportiness and touring suitability. We would recommend the quickshifter to every buyer and we hope that Triumph will optimise the chassis in the next model revision. A real recommendation for fans of compact touring motorbikes!

great engine

optional quickshifter is a MUST

comfortable ergonomics

high-quality equipment

good wind protection

Chassis too soft at sporty speeds

Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the 2018 model also largely eliminates the high-speed problems that its predecessor had to contend with. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Powerful engine

Successful revision of the chassis

Riding pleasure guaranteed

Better stability than the predecessor

Successful revision of the aerodynamics

Comfort gain for pillion passenger

Pillion seat rest system restricts freedom of movement

display looks outdated

ABS and traction control only at basic level
