Not many days separate us from the turn of the year, and in a bid to get people all worked up about what lies ahead, several of the world's largest bike makers have revealed these past few weeks the goodies for the new year. For the Brits over at Triumph, the revelations continued on Halloween day with the launch of the new Tiger 900 range.
That would be a breed of motorcycles that only came about three years ago, but quickly climbed the ladder to success, winning the Baja Aragón Rally, 1000 Dunas Raid and Bassela Enduro back in 2022.
The Tigers can be used with equal success on the road as well, and that's why there are three models to choose from in the new model year, namely 900 GT, 900 GT Pro, and 900 Rally Pro.
All three bikes carry a lot of the hardware already in use on the current models. That includes stuff like the cornering ABS, LED lights all around, and the 20-liter (5.3-gallon) fuel tank. The modular frame that supports them is there as well, only it now holds within it a significantly revised engine.
The powerplant is the same 888cc three-cylinder liquid-cooled unit as before, only upgraded to provide more power and better fuel consumption levels. More specifically, the engine develops 13 percent more power across the board, while needing nine percent less fuel to cover the same distance. In numbers we can all understand, that's 107 hp and 90 Nm of torque.
The list of novelties that make it into the new Tiger range is extensive and covers everything from appearance to safety.
As far as the bodywork is concerned, body parts like the cockpit and side panels have been revised, and the color schemes have been updated: Snowdonia White for the GT and GT Pro (Graphite/Sapphire Black and Carnival Red/Sapphire Black are available as options), and Carbon Black/Sapphire Black for the Rally Pro (Ash Grey/Intense Orange or Matt Khaki Green/Matt Phantom Black can be had upon request).
The two GT bikes rest on wheels sized 19 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear, while the Rally uses a larger, 21-inch front piece. The rider rests his behind while moving on or off road on a newly-designed seat, and controls the bike through handlebars mounted on top of a new damped system.
Triumph throws into the fight for the Tigers a new 7-inch TFT screen running a new graphics and menu, a never-before-used UBC-C charger, and new marker lights. Bluetooth connectivity is offered throughout the board.
Safety is enhanced through enhanced braking based on Brembo hardware, and the deployment of an emergency deceleration warning system that automatically activates the hazard lights when hard braking is applied.
As soon as it announced the new Tiger range Triumph also opened the order books. For the American market, prices have been set at $14,995 (GT), $16,895 (GT Pro), and $17,395 (Rally Pro). Orders can already be placed, but don't expect delivery sooner than the first months of next year.
