2021 Triumph Tiger 850 Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Triumph's sport motorcycle platform, the 2021 Triumph Tiger 850 Sport utilizes a 888 cc (54.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 85 HP (62 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 82 Nm (60.5 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 95.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 850 Sport measures 199 kg (439 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.34 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,556 mm (61.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 385 km (239 miles) between fill-ups.
