The 2018 Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport is a brilliant UK all-rounder, perfect for riders who want a fast, comfortable, and practical bike without going full adventure-spec. It’s not designed for off-road use like the Tiger 800/1200, but if your riding is mostly tarmac-based with a mix of fast A-roads, twisty backroads, and motorways, it's a great alternative to a full-size adventure bike.
