The 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 builds from the bones of the Tiger 900 and offers more power, technology, and sport-touring capability than its Tiger Sport 660 smaller sibling. Competing with bikes like the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ and the BMW F 900 XR, the road-biased Tiger Sport 800 will be available at Triumph dealerships starting in March 2025.
Powering the new sport-tourer is a liquid-cooled 798cc Triple that makes 113 hp at 10,750 rpm and 62 lb-ft of torque at 8,500 rpm. The engine architecture is the same as the 900 but has its stroke reduced from 61.9mm to 56mm. Bore remains at 78mm. Included are a slip/assist clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, and Triumph Shift Assist.
The Tiger Sport 800 uses a tubular steel perimeter frame and a fabricated pressed steel two-sided swingarm, similar to the Tiger 660. Suspension is provided by Showa and is fully adjustable, including a 41mm inverted fork and a monoshock with remote preload adjustment, both offering 5.9 inches of wheel travel. The brakes are Triumph-branded, including two 310mm front discs paired with 4-piston radial calipers and a 255mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper. Cornering ABS is fitted as standard.
The bike rides on cast-aluminum 17-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Road 5 sport-touring tires. Triumph designed the cockpit to provide a roomy feel and upright riding position, and seat height is 32.9 inches. Adding touring capability is an adjustable windscreen and integrated wind deflectors fitted as standard, and the fuel tank holds 4.9 gallons. Claimed wet weight is 472 lb.
Technology is plentiful on the Tiger Sport 800. Three ride modes (Sport, Road, and Rain) alter throttle response and traction control intervention; cornering ABS and TC are fitted as standard. It also comes with cruise control for comfortable long-distance riding. Instrumentation includes an LCD upper section with an integrated color TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, phone notifications, and music info, all available through the Triumph Connectivity System.
More than 40 dedicated accessories are available for the Tiger Sport 800, including an Akrapovič slip-on silencer, heated grips, luggage that works with the bike’s integrated pannier mounts, and more. The bike comes with a two-year, unlimited-mile warranty that covers Genuine Triumph Accessories, and service intervals are at 10,000 miles.
The new 2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 will be available in Sapphire Black, Graphite, Cosmic Yellow, and Caspian Blue starting at $12,495.
