Tiger, Speed Twin and Trident news for 2025…
Tiger Sport 800
Déjà vu? Well, yes – the Hinckley firm sold a Tiger 800 model between 2010-2019, but it’s keen to stress this new machine has nothing to do with the old ‘un. In fact, it’s basically a grown-up’s version of the firm’s very successful entry-level Tiger Sport 660 model.

Indeed, the engine on this new 798cc 800 triple is based on the same crankcases and cylinder head on the 660, but with a bigger bore and longer stroke to get those extra CC.
There are new pistons, with the same bore size as the 765 Street Triple, a longer throw crank than the 660, and further mods to the head. The 800 also has triple throttle bodies instead of the low-performance single throat design on the 660, and the result is a beefy 114bhp peak power, with 83Nm (61lb-ft) of torque and a broad range of grunt.
Similarly, the chassis takes its basic layout from the 660, with a similar steel tube frame design, and uprated running gear.
Triumph’s added fully-adjustable 41mm USD Showa forks and a rebound/preload adjustable rear monoshock with remote preload adjuster, Triumph-branded four-piston front brakes and road-friendly cast aluminium wheels with Michelin Road 5 rubber.
The electronics package includes cornering ABS and traction control, cruise control, quick shifter, LCD dash and Bluetooth connectivity, and the Tiger Sport 800 will be on sale in March, costing from £10,995.
Speed Twin 900
Triumph’s given the novice-friendly Speed Twin 900 retro roadster a tweaking for the new year.
The fundamentals are as you were: The engine is the same friendly 64bhp parallel twin SOHC unit, in a lightly modded steel tube frame. Suspension is now by Marzocchi, in common with much of the rest of the Triumph range, and there’s a radial-mount front brake caliper, fresh bodywork design and uprated electronic kit. It’ll be in the shops in February priced at £9,195
Trident 660
A minor refresh for Hinckley’s budget 81bhp roadster: the £7,895 Trident 660 gets cornering ABS, new Showa Big Piston forks and cruise control, as well as a styling refresh.
