Built around Triumph's allround motorcycle platform, the 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 utilizes a 799 cc (48.8 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 94 HP (68.6 kW) at 9,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 79 Nm (58.3 lb-ft) at 7,850 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 117.6 HP per liter and a 1,450 rpm working window between peak torque (7,850 rpm) and peak power (9,300 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tiger 800 measures 214.6 kg (473 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 843 mm (33.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,567 mm (61.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
