And it is coming in five versions: Tiger 900, Tiger 900 GT, Tiger 900 GT PRO, Tiger 900 RALLY, and Tiger 900 RALLY PRO
by Sagar Patil, onAfter their Bonneville range, it’s the Tiger models that give the British brand their numbers, especially the three-cylinder ones for its practical approach and usability as an adventure motorcycle. Taking their game to serious new levels, Triumph is giving us an all-new range of Tigers that will replace the 800s’ with a new 900cc engine, aggressive new styling, brilliant standard specs, and new state-of-the-art riding enhancements. And it is the lightest Tiger models ever since they came out in 2010, making them the most capable, agile, and dynamic middleweight adventure bikes available.
Triumph loves them so much that the 900 series sees five different versions catering to five different riding styles: Tiger 900, Tiger 900 GT, Tiger 900 GT PRO, Tiger 900 RALLY, and Tiger 900 RALLY PRO.
The machine runs on Triumph’s new Euro5 compliant 888 cc three-pot mill with a 1-3-2 firing order. This gives the new engine a unique character and feels unlike any other, along with a more aggressive soundtrack. With improved performance figures of 94 hp @ 8,750rpm and 64 lb-ft of peak torque coming in at 7,250 rpm, the machine delivers more responsive acceleration than before via the slip-and-assist clutch and a 6-speed transmission.
Everything on the new Tiger 900 is bolted onto a new steel trellis frame with modular construction, aluminum rear sub-frame, and pillion hangers. Twin 320mm floating discs are clutched onto by Brembo Stylema 4 piston Monobloc calipers for optimal braking performances. An all-new twin radiator set up enhances the adventure style with its shape and position.
