Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour adds factory panniers, top box, comfort kit and heated grips to turn the lightweight road-focused Tiger into a serious long-distance machine.
The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 was already a tempting do-it-all road bike. Now, Triumph has doubled down on its touring credentials with the new Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour – a factory-kitted version aimed squarely at riders who live for long weekends, fast highways and a loaded rear rack.
A little over a year after the standard Tiger Sport 800 debuted globally, the new Tour variant steps in as the more road-trip-ready and pillion-friendly option. Instead of making you tick boxes in the accessories catalogue, Triumph bundles a full touring pack as standard, making this version feel “ready to ride to the horizon” straight out of the showroom.

Underneath, it’s the same 798cc, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder heart that defines the Tiger Sport 800. The motor produces 115hp at 10,750rpm and 84Nm at 8,500rpm, paired with a tubular steel chassis and a sensible, not overly complex electronics suite carried over from the standard bike.
The big story is the kit it wears. The Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour comes with colour-matched panniers and a top box fitted at the factory, complete with a passenger backrest. Together, the top box and panniers offer a substantial 106 litres of combined storage, split between a 49-litre top box and 57 litres in the side cases. For a middleweight sport-tourer, that’s serious luggage room and puts the bike firmly in “pack once, ride far” territory.

The Tour variant also gets a comfort seat, knuckle guards, a centre stand and heated grips as standard equipment. The Tiger Sport 800 Tour tips the scales at 232kg, around 14kg heavier than the standard model. Visually, the Tour sticks to the familiar Tiger Sport 800 silhouette but dresses it up in two dual-tone paint schemes – blue/black and red/black – with subtle golden highlights. The colour-matched panniers and top box integrate cleanly with the bodywork, making the bike look purpose-built rather than accessorised as an afterthought.
Internationally, Triumph will roll out the Tiger Sport 800 Tour from February 2026. The Indian story is more complicated. Even the standard Tiger Sport 800 is yet to go on sale here, as Bajaj and Triumph focus on optimising their smaller-capacity 400cc Speed and Scrambler models to sit just under the 350cc GST 2.0 tax threshold. With bikes under 350cc taxed at 18 percent and those above at 40 percent, the brands are clearly prioritising volume-friendly segments before bringing in niche middleweights like the Tiger Sport 800 range.
