Triumph has refreshed its middleweight adventure bike with new engine components, a fresh TFT, added safety equipment and more
The headline changes concern the engine. The 888cc triple features various new components, providing a 13 per cent increase in power to give a new total of 106bhp “while gaining more torque and tractability at low RPM,” Triumph says. The newfound poke doesn’t come at the expense of fuel economy – in fact, that’s been improved by nine per cent.
The 900 also gets a whole host of new safety features, including something commonly found in the car world – flashing hazard lights for when you’re braking heavily. There are also new ‘marker lights’ to make the bike easier to spot in low-visibility conditions, plus tweaked cornering ABS and traction control. How these behave depends on which of the four modes – Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road – are in use. Rally Pro models have an ‘Off-Road Pro’ mode that bins off the ABS and TC entirely. All trim levels have a slip-and-assist clutch fitted as standard.
That should make longer journeys that little bit nicer, as will the reshaped seat, which features 20mm of adjustability. On the Tiger GT and GT Pro, this gives a seat height of 820mm to 840mm, while for the Rally Pro 860mm to 880mm. Further making your next tour more pleasant is a damped handlebar mounting system.
The Rally Pro lives up to its name with 240mm front travel from a 45mm fully adjustable Showa fork with 230mm from an also fully adjustable Showa monoshock at the other end.
Triumph Tiger 900 price and release date
The range starts at £12,195 on the road for the entry-level Tiger 900 GT model. The £13,895 Tiger 900 GT Pro adds the electronic suspension, heated grips and seats, a quickshifter and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Those goodies are carried over to the more off-road-focused Tiger 900 Rally Pro, which is £14,495.
