Triumph Tiger 850 Sport launched in India

Triumph Motorcycles India has recently launched the new Triumph Tiger 850 Sport that costs Rs 11.95 lakhs. In comparison, the Tiger 900 price in India currently starts at Rs 13.70 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom, pan India). 

The most affordable model in the Tiger family, the Tiger 850 Sport is broadly based on the Tiger 900 with some tweaks in order to make the bike more accessible to the buyers. Powering the bike is the same 888cc, inline three-cylinder engine that does duty on the Tiger 900. 

However, compared to 95hp and 87Nm on the Tiger 900, the engine on the 850 Sport is good for developing 85hp and 82 Nm. While the power and torque figures are certainly lesser than the Tiger 900, you get this lower in the rev range and hence the bike should have good tractability and also, more manageable.

In terms of prime features, the new Triumph Tiger 850 Sport gets bits like a 5-inch coloured TFT instrument cluster along with all-LED lighting. Moreover, you get two riding modes namely Road and Rain.
