Triumph updates Tiger Sport for 2016
Ride-by-wire and an adjustable screen among the updatesA swag of updates to Triumph’s long-standing Tiger 1050 Sport have brought the firm’s long-legged sport-touring model into the modern era. Motivated by the soon-to-be introduced tougher emission regulations, the new-look Tiger Sport gains ride-by-wire throttles, selectable engine maps, switchable traction control and cruise control, joining ABS as standard fitment.
The combustion chamber, exhaust system and catalytic converter have all been modified to improve emissions, which has also resulted in better fuel economy and, while Triumph hasn’t quoted new output figures, it is claiming the Tiger’s torque has been increased.
The 1050 triple gets a slip-and-assist clutch for the new model year and in terms of cosmetic changes, more angular bodywork immediately sets it apart from its predecessor. Changes to the belly-pan and headlight as well as a higher, now-adjustable screen are the most obvious aesthetic refinements, with new mirrors, footrests and handguards among the others.
The new model will be available in either black or grey colour schemes and will be unveiled at the London Motorcycle Show, to be held at Excel on February 12. It is due to arrive in Australia mid-year with an MLP of $17,150 plus on road costs.
