Triumph is expanding its 2013 Tiger range with the introduction of a Sport model. Designed purely for on-road use, the new arrival features both styling and technical enhancements.
Its engine is still a 1,050 cc, three-cylinder unit but, thanks to upgraded intake and exhaust systems, power has risen by 10 bhp (7 kW / 10 PS) to 123 bhp (92 kW / 125 PS). Torque is up too, to 104 Nm (77 lb/ft), yet Triumph reckons that the Tiger Sport’s fuel economy is 7% better than that of the regular Tiger 1050.

Consisting of Showa 43mm upside-down forks and a Showa Monoshock at the rear, the fully-adjustable suspension has been totally recalibrated to give a sportier ride. Braking is taken care of by twin discs and Nissin four-piston radial calipers up front, while the back wheel gets a Nissin two-piston caliper for its single disc. An anti-lock system is fitted as standard.
Among the cosmetic changes are a successful redesign for the minimalist bodywork, a new screen and the fitment of lightweight reflector type headlights. Other modifications include a revised single rear swingarm (which incidentally has swapped sides) and a specially strengthened rear subframe that offers a greater luggage-carrying capacity.

To widen the appeal of the bike, the Tiger Sport’s seat is narrower, plus it has been lowered by 5 mm to 830 mm (32.7”) at the front. For improved rider comfort the handlebars have been moved back and they’re now slightly lower.
When UK sales of the 2013 Triumph Tiger Sport begin in March, buyers will have a choice of Crystal White or Diablo Red paintwork. Prices are expected to be announced sometime next month.
