Triumph Tiger Sport 2014

Triumph Tiger Sport 2014

In direct comparison with its little sister, the Tiger 800 XC, the Tiger Sport 1050 can only score in one area: The brakes are extremely well-balanced and apply properly when you need them. In most other disciplines, however, it cannot prevail. Especially in handling, the big 1050 is much more stubborn than its little sister. Since it can't really be used off-road, its radius of action is much narrower than that of the Tiger 800 XC. However, if you are looking for a universal partner for the road, which, in addition to a comfortable riding position, should also offer a certain amount of sport, the Tiger Sport 1050 is certainly not the wrong choice.

The Tiger Explorer could also come from Bavaria. Only with cast wheels instead of wire spokes do the English go their "own way", which is clearly more over asphalt than over gravel. Apart from that, it has to be said that the engine is convincing, the brakes less so.

Optimal wind protection

pleasant seating position

comfortable saddle

superior engine.

High weight

nervous traction point

relatively weak braking system.
