Triumph trim back and add extra oomph to their popular Tiger 900 family

After more than 45,000 global sales since arriving in 2020, Triumph have updated their Tiger 900 adventure range – trimming off the least popular options, adding more power, and a sprinkling of new tech.

The previously seven-strong range (if you include the Aragon Edition specials) will now be stripped back to a £12,195 Tiger 900 GT, £13,895 GT Pro, and £14,495 Rally Pro. Triumph’s standard £12,795 Rally is leaving us, as are the dedicated ‘Low’ option models.

Those that have survived the culling are available to order now, with power now up by a claimed 13% to 106.5bhp at 9500rpm. The climb means they can’t be restricted for an A2 licence, with other Hinckley models such as the Tiger Sport 660 now intended to tackle that demand.

Torque has also climbed across the fleet, sitting at a claimed 66lbft at 6850rpm on all models – with the added bonus of an additional 9% improvement to the fuel economy from its 20-litres.   

The motor itself is partnered with a slip and assist clutch and is an update on the unit that has been found in the range since the beginning. It retains the T-plane crank and offset firing intervals to give an almost V-twin mimicking grumble at the exhaust.

Changes include new pistons and a revised compression ratio of 13:0:1 for more efficient combustion. There’s also a new cylinder head, new inlet and exhaust camshafts, and also 15mm longer intake trumpets to aid the extra performance boost.

The exhaust system itself is also new and carries less weight thanks in part to having just one catalyst. A fruitier Akrapovič option is also available from Triumph and saves a further kilo.

Away from the engine, behind the adjustable front screen you’ll also find a new 7in TFT dash, which helps to control the usual myriad of electronics – including up to six riding modes, a tyre pressure monitoring system, cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, and cruise control.

The dash itself uses a TFT display bonded to the glass in an attempt to irradicate reflections, and offers mobile connectivity, turn by turn navigation, and more. Triumph further add to the tech with heated grips and seats, which both come as standard on the Pro models, plus hazard lights that flicker under hard braking.

And speaking of these seats, the rider perch is now flatter and roomier. Fans of the old Low models will also be pleased to know that there’s 20mm of adjustment. An accessory lower seat cuts this by a further 20mm – taking the GT as low as 800mm if needs be.

Away from the seating, the Triumph Rally Pro also gets bars 15mm closer to the rider, with all three machines treated to subtle styling tweaks to the beak, cockpit, and side panels.

All three bikes are also equipped with Brembo Stylema calipers, with the trio mostly separated in the suspension department. The GT and GT Pro get 45mm fully adjustable Marzocchi USD forks, and an adjustable rear shock. This comes with 180mm of travel up front and 170mm at the rear, leading to a 19in front and 17in rear wheel.

Meeting the 21in front and 17in rear on the Rally Pro is a set of Showa fully adjustable 45mm USD cartridge forks, plus a fully adjustable rear shock. Being an off-road variant, this comes with 240mm of travel on the forks and 230mm at the back.
