Triumph Tiger Sport 800 (2026) — from $12,895
Tiger Sport 800 steps up midweight triple punch and touring capability versus the 660.
More road presence, still sport-tour practical. Strong alternative to Tracer/NT class.
Sweet spot for many Phoenix riders who want Triple character without Rocket mass.
From a Phoenix garage point of view, that matters: summer heat, monsoon oil slicks, and freeway miles on the 10/17 stack reward honest ergonomics and modern rider aids more than brochure poetry.
Who it’s for: midweight sport-tour riders wanting Triumph triple feel
Who should look elsewhere: budget 660 or full ADV shoppers
Bottom line: Tiger Sport 800 — midweight Triple done right
800 over 660 for your highways?
