Triumph has given the Tiger an upgrade so comprehensive for
2013, it not only has a new sporting edge, it gets a new name:
Tiger Sport.
The rear half of the bike is completely new, and so is most of
the front with almost every visible component renewed and an
additional 10PS coming from the characterful 1050cc, three-cylinder
engine.
The Tiger Sport is an adventure-style street bike for the purist
who prefers to concentrate on the core values of motorcycle fun: a
strong and seductive engine, taut handling, and a riding position
to suit different road types. It comes with a major bonus:
Triumph's work at strengthening the chassis and upgrading the
suspension for sharper cornering has also made the Tiger Sport more
practical and comfortable than ever.
This is one of the great all-rounder motorcycles, thrillingly
punchy and agile on demanding back-roads, with the versatility to
make it a serious tourer and ideal commuter. For many riders the
Tiger Sport is the ideal, real world sports bike, yet it's also
capable of covering long distances solo or two-up in exceptional
comfort, or slicing through daily traffic with the safety of its
high-visibility, upright riding position, eager engine and updated
ABS.
The changes over the outgoing Tiger 1050 have been
extensive:
New bodywork - the tail unit, side panels and screen are new,
giving the Tiger Sport a leaner, sportier and more modern look with
a purposeful stance. There's also a new belly pan as standard.
More power - the new exhaust and revisions to the intake system
have helped Triumph's engineers release an additional 10PS and 6Nm
peak power and torque while boosting the engine's output across its
rev range. The evocative three-cylinder growl has been enhanced at
the same time, while the one-tooth larger rear sprocket has also
improved acceleration, and gearbox revisions have resulted in
smoother selection. Output is 125PS (123bhp, 92kW) and 104Nm
(77lb.ft, 10.6kgm).
Fuel Consumption - careful reworking of the fuel injection
calibration have resulted in an improvement of fuel economy in
addition to the performance gains. The Tiger Sport rider will go
about 7% further on each tank of fuel.
Single-sided swingarm - this is specially designed for the Tiger
Sport to give it a sportier look and improve packaging at the rear
end of the bike, allowing more space for the new exhaust and larger
panniers.
New headlights - four reflector-type headlights replace the
previous projector units, reducing weight, changing the look of the
bike and substantially improving the lighting performance.
Enhanced ergonomics - the rider's seat is 5mm lower (830mm), and
narrower at the front, substantially improving reach to the ground
and opening up access to the Tiger Sport to a wider range of
riders. The seat is also longer to create more space for taller
riders. The handlebars are lower and closer to the rider to suit
its sportier nature by providing a more direct feel, while the new
screen offers better wind protection. The rear seat is also lower,
sitting the passenger more fully behind the rider for better wind
protection and making it easier to get on the bike. Improved grab
handles are fitted as standard.
Greater luggage capacity - the new rear subframe not only lowers
the passenger seat, it's stronger and has allowed the fitment of
larger optional panniers, capable of storing a full face helmet,
with double the payload of the previous ones at 10kg each.
Triumph's pioneering Dynamic Luggage System uses an
inter-connecting cable between the cases to isolate
turbulence-induced movement from the chassis.
New switchgear - the left hand switch cube now enables all dash
functions to be operated with the left hand, without having to let
go of the bar and reach forward to the instrument panel.
Revised geometry - a half degree steeper steering angle and
slightly longer wheelbase improve precision, feedback and
stability.
New suspension - the fully adjustable suspension has been
completely redeveloped with new springing and revalved damping to
give the Tiger Sport its sharper feel with the reserves to handle
its additional load capacity.
New ABS - the Tiger Sport's radial brakes are backed up by the
latest system with a new modulator for better extreme braking
performance and improved feel.
Cast aluminium wheels are unique to the Tiger Sport and come
fitted with the latest, class-leading Pirelli Angel GT tyres.
Stunning attention to detail - the Tiger Sport is brimming with
thoughtful touches, such as tougher material on the underside of
the seat where riders might rest it on the ground, beautifully
sculpted footrests, coloured seat stitching, aesthetically pleasing
aluminium pannier mounts and careful styling of the new fork yokes
and engine side casings. Even the handlebar end caps are designed
to look good, while beneath the seat is not only a U-lock storage
space but a dedicated glove compartment. To top everything off, the
fit, finish and build quality have all improved for 2013.
New Colours - Tiger Sport is available in Crystal White and
Diablo Red.
