Triumph has launched a new variant of their successful Tiger range of premium motorbikes in India. Christened as the Tiger 850 Sport, this bike is more road focused than the other adventure bikes in the line-up which includes the Tiger 900 Rally Pro, Rally and GT.
What Triumph has to say about the Tiger 850 Sport
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Shoeb Farooq, Business Head – Triumph Motorcycles India said: “We are excited to introduce the new member of the Tiger family; Triumph Motorcycles have been dominating the premium adventure segment in the country since the first Tiger made its way to the Indian shores and now with the launch of the new Tiger 850 sport, we extend the Tiger portfolio to 4 purposefully different motorcycles, at the same time strengthening our commitment to catering to premium adventure motorcyclists in the country. While the Tiger 850 sport is more road focussed, its adventure bearing capability is at par with its 900 siblings and we’re sure it will open the gates for more potential adventure customers to be part of the Triumph family.”
