There will be an entrance ticket for the Tiger family and the Triumph (Photo: manufacturer's website)

Albert, an importer of Triumph motorcycles to Israel from France, a new model on offer.

The Tiger Sport 660, the little brother of the Tiger 850 will be the entry ticket to the brand in terms of engine volumes as well as its price.

The goal is to compete with Japanese adventure-road motorcycles such as the Kawasaki Versace, Suzuki V-Storm, Yamaha Tracer and others.

The basis for the motorcycle is the Trident 660, the company's designed Nike, which comes here in an Adventure configuration with a more upright riding position and a plastic shell and a high reflector.

Like the Trident, it also uses a Triumph 659 cc three-cylinder engine with 80 hp and 6.5 kg.

As mentioned the base is the trident chassis, however here there are a number of changes in light of its designation.

The seat height is 835 mm, and the fuel tank has a volume of 17.2 liters (14 liters in Trident for comparison), the weight stands at 206 kg.

The SHOWA shock absorbers are 41 mm in diameter with a 150 mm stroke, and Nissin's braking system is with two 320 mm diameter discs at the front and a single 255 mm disc at the rear.

17-inch diameter rims with a 120-inch front and 180-inch rear tires.

On the riding and electronics systems: ride by wire throttle with two riding modes (road and rain), traction control, slider clutch, LED peripheral lighting, TFT dashboard with the option to interface to a dedicated paid app through which you can control music, calls, operating a Go Pro camera and more.

Triumph's entry into the crowded, growing, boiling and competitive market of road adventure motorcycles will bring it together with some of the older competitors of this category, which we mentioned earlier.

In order to challenge them and put him on the list of potential candidates he is not reinventing the wheel, but is definitely doing things differently than we have seen in the brand so far.

So in addition to its sampling and equipment options with an original luggage set, two-year warranty and the option of a carrier-conditioned version suitable for the A1 license, it is also offered at least at this stage of the initial launch at NIS 64,900, with its full price at NIS 78,900.

Low in terms of Triumph, but still not low to challenge tools like the Yamaha Tracer (NIS 60,000) or the Versace 650 (NIS 53,000) but close to that of the Suzuki V-Strom at NIS 70,000.
