Things are moving at Triumph! With this big evolution granted to the Tiger 1050, the English manufacturer will have unveiled no less than eight new motorcycles in the space of four months (and, and, and and)! Presentation of this "Sport" version of the Hinckley road trail.

Major evolution

The arrival of this Triumph Tiger Sport is probably not a surprise for our readers – who, as everyone knows, are a little more fortunate than the others – since Site had unveiled its first details almost a month and a half ago (read ).

Nevertheless, the changes made to the one that will replace the catalog from March 2013 are much more important: "everything has been modified except for the tank, the chassis and the mechanical base, although the engine character has changed", exclaims Triumph France !

Aesthetically, the Tiger 1050 Sport has a rather successful facelift on several parts: the fork crown accommodates a new headlight with four optics, the sides of the fairings are sharpened and especially the motorcycle adopts a single-sided arm of the most beautiful effect which offers a very nice view of the new rim, now fitted with Pirelli Angel.

The rear buckle has been redesigned to lower the height of the passenger seat and more easily integrate rigid suitcases capable of accommodating a full face helmet or 10 kg of load each.

The rider also sees the accessibility of the bike improved: its seat is not only located 5 mm lower than before (830 mm), but it is also longer and narrower on its front part..

We will also appreciate the installation of the onboard console controls on the left stalk: a little "plus" as practical as it is reassuring. Likewise, the space under the saddle – the topstitched covering of which would be more qualitative than before – makes it possible to accommodate a U-shaped lock, while the passenger handles are wider for the benefit of comfort. The handlebars are placed lower to improve its grip, while the redesigned screen would protect better.

More cotton wool … and more watts !

In view of the changes listed above, there is no doubt that the new Tiger 1050 Sport will be more comfortable and practical. But that’s not all: it will also be more efficient and incisive !

The 1,050 cc in-line three-cylinder (79mm bore x 71.4mm stroke) gains 10 horsepower (125 hp in Full) and 6 Nm of torque (104 Nm) thanks to a new exhaust system and to work done on the injection.

Triumph specifies that these modifications would not only give the engine more character but also allow it to "take more turns".

And as happiness never comes alone, the recalibration of the injection would allow, according to Hinckley engineers, "a fuel saving of 7%". Finally, the gear of the final chain transmission has been modified in favor of the responsiveness of the motorcycle: the crown thus has an additional tooth..

Side cycle, the new Tiger Sport 2013 keeps the same suspensions (adjustable inverted fork in preload, rebound and compression and shock absorber adjustable in preload and rebound), but they adopt a new set of springs and valves, as well as adjustments to the endorsement. The caster angle is slightly reduced (- 0.5 °) and the wheelbase is "slightly longer", details Triumph without further details.

Nissin’s four-piston radial calipers are renewed, as is standard ABS. The English, however, specify that ABS is among "the latest ABS systems on the market".

Finally, Triumph emphasizes that the finish has been the subject of particular care for the benefit of perceived quality. "The build quality and finish of the 2013 Tiger Sport model is of a very high standard," said the manufacturer, which is paying increasing attention to both aspects. Just place the new Daytona 675 or the 2013 Street Triple next to their Japanese rivals to check it out. !

The new Tiger 1050 Sport 2013 will be available in two colors: "Crystal White" (white) and "Diablo Red" (red) from March 2013 in the .

Its price will be communicated "during the month of February", continues the importer, but according to our information this price should oscillate in a range between 12,500 and 13,000 €. Which would be quite reasonable since the current Tiger 1050 is worth … € 12,990 !
