A little over a year after revealing the Tiger Sport 800, Triumph has now unveiled a more long-distance and passenger-friendly variant of the lightweight road-focused tall-rounder, called the Tiger Sport 800 Tour.

  1. Tiger Sport 800 Tour has 106 litres of combined storage
  2. It weighs 14kg more than the standard bike
  3. It’s mechanically identical to Tiger Sport 800

Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour: Even more road-trip and pillion-friendly

Gets a lot of official accessories as standard but weighs quite a bit more

The Tour variant gets official Triumph accessories such as colour-matched panniers and a top box with passenger backrest, a comfort seat, knuckle guards, a centre stand and heated grips as standard while remaining mechanically identical to the standard Tiger Sport 800. As a result of all these additions, the Tiger Sport 800 Tour weighs 232kg, which is 14 kilos more than the standard model. However, the combined 106 litres of luggage-carrying capacity between the top box (49 litres) and the panniers (57 litres) is a significant advantage on a motorcycle like this.

The rest of the bike is mechanically similar to the standard model, with its 798cc 3-cylinder liquid-cooled engine making 115hp at 10,750rpm and 84Nm of torque at 8,500rpm. The tubular steel chassis and respectable, but not overcomplicated, suite of electronics are all carried forward from the Tiger Sport 800 as well. The Tour variant is available in two colours – blue/black and red/black – with a few golden highlights on its familiar bodywork.

In international markets, the Tiger Sport 800 Tour will be available from February 2026. As for when it will come to the Indian market, it’s a different story; even the standard Tiger Sport 800 is not yet on sale here more than a year after its launch. Currently, Bajaj, which handles Triumph’s Indian operations, is working on downsizing the 400cc Speed and Scrambler models to just below the 350cc limit so as to benefit from the government’s recent GST 2.0 regulation which taxes bikes under 350cc at 18 percent compared to 40 percent for bikes above 350cc.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise.

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
