TRIUMPH Adventurer 900 (1996-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Adventurer 900 was a motorcycle that debuted in 1996 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England. The bike's name came from a 500cc parallel-twin trail machine of the 1970s.

In 1996, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Adventurer 900, a motorcycle that packed the same 885cc engine as the Triumph Thunderbird 900 but also other components.

In addition, the Adventurer model shared the steel frame, front forks, rear shock absorber, wheels, and brakes with the Thunderbird 900. Compared to the Thunderbird model, the Adventurer had a more raised handlebar and a single seat.

Some notable features included the sizeable rear fender, several chromed-plated engine covers, and the exhaust system with its megaphone-shaped silencers. Also, the Triumph Adventurer 900 was one of the biggest-selling machines in the Triumph range.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was equipped with a round headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a three-into-two exhaust system with a muffler on each side, a chromed engine, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.

As for the performance figures, the 1996 Triumph Adventurer 900 had installed underneath its fuel tank an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three Mikuni carburetors, delivering 69 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 4,800 rpm.

The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front and a 285 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear, offering strong braking performance.
