Triumph India has announced two fresh dual-tone paint options for its Tiger 850 Sport – Roulette Green with Jet Black, and Korosi Red with Graphite. The former stands out with its bright green-coloured fuel tank with black '850' graphics. The green treatment is also meted out to a part of the front fender clinging onto the upside-down forks, while the front mudguard, beak, and radiator shrouds are all finished in contrasting black. Meanwhile, the latter is a combination of a striking Korosi Red with Graphite elements. Here, you get a red-painted tank with white '850' graphics and Graphite-finished tank extensions. The beak, radiator shrouds, and front fender part are also finished in a Graphite shade.
However, other colour options – Jet Black/Graphite and Graphite Diablo Red – are still available, taking the count to four. No changes are made to the engine, hardware, and features list.
