Segment: All-road
Production years: 1993, 1994
The Triumph Tiger 900 was a dual sports machine manufactured by the English company from 1993 until 1998 when it was replaced by the Triumph Tiger T709. Over its production period, the bike featured only minor modifications and was also known as the T400 or Steamer.
The bike was known to its fans as the Steamer, and it packed an 885cc carbureted engine. In the native country, it didn't have great success being sold in small numbers, but it was more popular in the American market and continental Europe, particularly Germany.
The strong 885cc three-cylinder engine and the seat height represented some notable characteristics of the machine. Both features provided a dominant riding position and made it easy for the rider to see over traffic ahead.
In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a half fairing with a small windscreen, two round headlights, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, an engine crash bar with a plate covering the front, and wire-spoke wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.
Underneath its fairing, the 1993 Triumph Tiger 900 had installed an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three flat side CV carburetors, delivering 84 hp at 8,000 rpm and 81 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
