The new Tuareg 660 sports 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels with tubeless tyres.

The impressive feature list of the mid-size adventure touring bike includes four ride modes (two of which can be customised), switchable ABS, multiple levels of traction control, cruise control, engine brake control, and a 5-inch TFT display. In India, the Tuareg 660 competes with the Honda XL750 Transalp (Rs 11 lakh), the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE (Rs 10.30 lakh), and the BMW F850 GS (Rs 12.95 lakh).
