2020 Triumph Tiger Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Triumph's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Triumph Tiger Sport features a 1050 cc (64.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 124.7 HP (91 kW) at 9,475 rpm while maximum torque reaches 106 Nm (78.2 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.8 HP per liter and a 2,475 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,475 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 218 kg (481 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 HP/kg (1.75 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 5.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 385 km (239 miles) between fill-ups.
