The '26 Tiger shares much of its DNA
with the Trident 660 and thus gains the new
triplet of 44mm throttle bodies in place of the
single unit on the 2022-2025 models. There
are also higher-lift cams and larger exhaust
valves, enabling this triple to boast an in-
crease of 14 horsepower and 2.8 lb-ft with
1000 rpm more to play with.
There are three riding modes of Rain, Road
and Sport, and the throttle response is cleaner
and crisper, particularly at low traffic speeds,
(Top) Triumph's three-cylinder
660 has been a busy engine
of late, seeing duty in this
Tiger Sport 660, the Trident
and the Daytona. With 95
claimed horsepower on tap,
performance is spritely and
good fun. (Bottom) Two-piston
front brakes and 310mm discs
are not up to the standard of
the rest of the machine.
