How to pick between them
Both are ours to sell — here’s the honest split.
- ✓Ibex 800E: the tech-per-dollar play. An 8″ touchscreen, cruise, wheelie control, TPMS and Bosch stability control standard, with a published 94-hp twin and 5-gallon range — typically at a lower price point.
- ✓Tiger Sport 800: the performance play. 113 hp from Triumph’s triple, lower wet weight (471 lb vs the Ibex’s 547 lb dry — note the different measures), a quickshifter, and Triumph’s handling pedigree and resale.
- ●Straight talk. On power and pedigree the Tiger Sport 800 wins outright — 19 published horsepower is a real gap. The Ibex answers with equipment and price. Neither answer is wrong; they’re different budgets.
