For 2020,
Triumph
sharpens its claws and upgrades its most adventurous model. The new Tiger is bigger, better, lighter, and sells the dream of limitless adventure.
Triumph has redesigned the new Tiger 900 from the ground up. The design channels Triumph’s classic British adventure styling combined with a more modern, sinuous silhouette and a slimmer headlight cluster. These updates were inspired by Rodolfo Frascoli’s Triumph Tiger Tramontana concept, built for the Panafrica Rally.
The naming convention also changes: the XC and XR are dropped and two new versions join the base model. The GT is equipped with a set of 19-inch wheels while the Rally is fitted with spoke-wire rims and a 21-inch front wheel.
While the base model keeps its five-inch screen, the two higher trim levels receive a seven-inch TFT display. They can also be outfitted with the PRO package that adds MyTriumph connectivity, Shift Assist, a customizable riding mode, heated seat and grips, as well as tire pressure monitoring.
The Tiger 900’s new engine is nestled inside the steel trellis frame. Triumph’s entry in the crossover segment now features an upgraded 888cc inline triple. The displacement was increased by increasing the bore from 74 to 78 mm while the size of the block remained unchanged, a feat achieved by fusing the barrels.
