The power unit is a new three-cylinder engine that clears the Euro 5 hurdle. Like its predecessor, the triple delivers 95 hp, but generates 10 percent more torque with 87 Newton meters at 7250 rpm. The engine is housed in a new and lighter trellis frame with an optimized center of gravity.
Offroad with Rally and Rally Pro
A typical Triumph feature is the split into several variants. In the case of the Tiger 900, there are four, two more road-oriented GT versions and two more off-road models called Rally and Rally Pro.
Shift assistant and six driving modes
Depending on the version, a seven-inch TFT instrument panel, a connectivity system, a shift assistant and up to six driving modes are on board. In all cases, the fuel tank holds 20 liters, which is suitable for touring. The standard average consumption of the machines, which weigh between 192 kilograms and 201 kilograms, is 5.2 liters.
Special model for small drivers
Especially for smaller riders, the Tiger 900 GT is also available as a low-ride-height variant with a seat height of either 76 or 78 centimeters. 48-horsepower versions are also offered.
Market launch of the Triumph Tiger 900 is in February 2020.
