2016 Triumph Tiger Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Triumph's allround motorcycle platform, the 2016 Triumph Tiger Sport pairs a 1050 cc (64.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 9,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 104 Nm (76.7 lb-ft) at 4,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119 HP per liter and a 5,100 rpm working window between peak torque (4,300 rpm) and peak power (9,400 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 Sport measures 216 kg (476 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.58 HP/kg (1.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,540 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.54 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 565 km (351 miles) between fill-ups.
