The new Tiger 900 features new frame, new suspension, new features, updated engine. And it’s lighter

The middleweight adventure class just got more crowded. Triumph presents an all-new Tiger. It’s not just an Euro 5 compliant update, but a brand new model. It's lighter, it features new  suspension and class-leading brakes and a larger engine. Finally, the welded subframe and foot-pegs are gone, and we also got rid of the XC, XCa, XRx… there’s a new name. 

The Tiger 900 comes in three different versions: The Tiger 900 (basic), the GT & GT Pro (urban approach, more expensive, more tech), the Rally & Rally Pro (well, you can guess it). 

The engine is “more responsive” with a light torque increase (10%), but the power is quite the same – 95 horsepower. Same as the BMW F850GS (the main rival) and KTM 790 Adventure. The Africa Twin and the V-Strom just got a bit more powerful. The firing interval is 1,3,2, for “greater character and feel”. We’re getting curios about it. Triumph also says that the higher capacity engine is also offering more power througout the whole range, especially in the mid-range, so it will be more fun to ride.

The dry weight (no fuel): ranging between 192 kg (Tiger 900) and 201 (Tiger 900 Rally Pro). So the wet weight should be around 212-222 kg. A bit lighter than standard Africa Twin (226 kg wet), lighter than the F850GS (about 230 kg), and, in its basic version, as light as the KTM 790 Adventure (189 kg dry). 

The new Tiger 900 is up to 5 kg lighter than the previous one thanks to a new steel trellis frame. But the most important thing is the modular construction, with bolt-on aluminum rear sub-frame and bolt-on pillion hangers. 

The suspension – Marzocchi and Showa instead of WP

The previous Tigers used WP suspensions, but the new models are featuring Marzocchi (Tiger 900 and 900 GT) and Showa (Rally & Rally Pro). The Pro models are also getting eletronically adjustable damping on the rear and mechanically-adjustable fork.

The Brakes: all the new Tiger 900 models are featuring the Brembo Stylema brakes – the most advanced braking system in this class. 

The fuel tank is larger – 20 litre, and the adjustable screen is new – you can adjust it through a new mechanism, by a single hande.

The ergonomics have been optimized – narrower seat and handlebars are 10 mm closer – this should improve both the seating and the standing riding position. It will be very interesting to see how it’s changed since Triumph always had a more street-oriented approach in this segment. Additionally, each model has a dedicated and unique footrest position to suit the expected style of riding, and a built-in easily adjustable two-position seat height mechanism. This enables the rider to change the seat height by 20mm to their preferred set-up.

For the tech-guys, the GT, GT Pro, Rally & Rally Pro, are featuring a 7-inches TFT dash. However, the new My Triumph Connectivity system and app are only available for the Pro Versions. This system is offering bluetooth connection, turn-by-turn navigation and GoPro control.

As for the electronics, there’s a new cornering ABS and traction control with IMU (not on the basic model), and you got up to six riding modes, depending on the version. The Rally Pro is getting an additional Off-Road Pro compared to the others.

There’s a new look also, with an all-new LED headlight. The big headlight is gone now, and there’s a smaller one instead. The whole styling is different, with a more sleek and more compact bodywork.
