2026 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour Preview

2026 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour in Matte Cobalt

Triumph launched the Tiger Sport 800 in 2025 as a sporty adventure-tourer. For 2026, Triumph has announced the Tiger Spot 800 Tour, which adds several touring-ready accessories as standard and introduces new color options. 

The Tour model gets a centerstand, handguards, heated grips, a dual Comfort Seat, color-matched panniers and topbox, and tire pressure monitoring, all fitted as standard. The luggage adds 28 gallons of total storage, divided between the 15-gallon panniers and the 13-gallon topbox, which are spacious enough to hold two XL helmets in the topbox or one in each pannier. 

These features are added to the list of existing features on the Tiger Sport 800, including three ride modes (Sport, Road, and Rain), Triumph Shift Assist, Optimized Cornering ABS and traction control, LED lights, an integrated LCD and TFT display with smartphone connectivity, a hand-adjustable windscreen, and integrated deflectors. 

Like the standard model, the Tour is powered by a 798cc Triple that makes 113 hp at 10,750 rpm and 62 lb-ft of torque at 8,500 rpm. It has Showa suspension, with a 41mm inverted fork offering rebound and compression damping adjustment and a monoshock with rebound damping adjustment and remote preload adjustment. The suspension offers 5.9 inches of front/rear wheel travel. Triumph-branded 4-piston radial front calipers pinch 310mm discs. Seat height is 32.9 inches, wet weight is 511 lb, and fuel capacity is 4.9 gallons. It rides on 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels wrapped in Michelin Road 5 tires. 

When we tested the 2025 Tiger Sport 800, we were impressed by its sportiness and playfulness, dubbing it "the practical hooligan." Reviewer Kevin Duke wrote, "The Tiger Sport 800 hits a sweet spot in the market – powerful enough to run with the big dogs but in a smaller, easier-to-manage package that's financially achievable for many riders." The new model's touring features add $2,100 to MSRP and 39 lb to its listed wet weight.
