The 2026 Tiger 660's bodywork is slimmer through the midsection, with sharper lines that give it a sportier stance. The front-end gets a subtly tweaked headlight bezel and cleaner air- flow, and while it's not a radical departure from the 2022-2025 model, it's enough to give the bike a fresher, more premium appearance. The seat height sits at a very reasonable 32.9 inches, which should be low enough for shorter riders to feel confident but tall enough to maintain that commanding adventure-bike posture. The Tiger feels narrow between the knees, and at a claimed wet weight of around 465 pounds, you still have a decent amount of bike underneath you. At the heart of the Tiger 660 is Triumph's 660cc inline-triple that has seen action first in the Daytona and also in the Trident 660. Produc- ing a claimed 95 hp and 50 lb-ft of torque, the engine delivers its power in a smooth, linear fashion that suits both new riders and experi - enced hands. There's enough go there to keep both camps happy. As a solo touring bike, the Tiger is an excellent choice. That screen gives you decent wind protection if you're under six feet tall.
