Hey, look what’s here—an updated version of the Triumph Tiger Sport 660!
Today, Triumph is taking the wraps off an overhauled version of its middleweight crossover machine, which doesn’t look that different at first glance. However, a list of electronic upgrades mean this machine should be a better ride from 2025 forward.
First up, Triumph has added a new Sport riding mode, to go with Street and Rain modes. This should make for more aggressive throttle response, always a welcome feature for those with sporting intentions! The throttle-by-wire feature also allowed Triumph to include cruise control as standard on the ’25 machine as well, a welcome update for those who buy the mini-Tiger for touring (with easy-adjust windscreen and built-in bag mounts, it’s a natural choice in this role).
The first-generation Tiger 660 model (introduced in 2021) had ABS and traction control, but they weren’t lean angle-sensitive systems. The new bike has the electronics needed to factor your lean angle into the algorithms keeping you safe, a welcome update for those riders who might be on slippery fall or spring roads, or riding in foul weather.
The 660 also gets a quickshifter included as standard equipment for 2025. Otherwise, it appears the three-cylinder engine (the only bike in this cc class with a triple) is basically unchanged. No doubt some minor tweaking was done to get the bike to Euro 5+ emissions standard.
Triumph’s My Connectivity system is also included as stock equipment now. This lets riders Bluetooth-connect their phone to the bike and use the TFT screen to answer calls, control music playback or navigate (while connected to a Bluetooth helmet comm as well).
All in, it’s a decent packet of updates, and Triumph has kept the price to a reasonable $11,695 in 2025 for the Sapphire Black version. Roulette Green, Carnival Red or Crystal White paint jobs are also available for extra money.
The bikes should start rolling into showrooms early in 2025, so talk to your dealer if you want to get your hands on one early.
