The All-new Triumph Tiger 900 Is Almost Here

 [UPDATE: Triumph has launched the Tiger 900 in India with prices starting from Rs 13.70 lakh (ex-showroom India). Head here for details.]

• It gets an all-new Euro 5/BS6-compliant 888cc triple motor.
• List of premium hardware includes adjustable suspension at both ends and Brembo Stylema radial calipers.
• The new Rally variant is nearly 9 kilos lighter than the Tiger 800.

Triumph India has announced its launch timeline for the all-new Tiger 900. The ADV, which will replace the Tiger 800, will be launched by the end of May 2020. What was once known as the XR and XC range is now christened GT and Rally, each of which comes in two versions: standard and pro in the international market. However, we believe, only the standard version of the two trims will be offered in India, just like the previous-gen model.

There’s a lot that’s gone into the Tiger 900, from a new engine, better electronics package and premium hardware to an all-new look. However, to start with, let's have a look at its firepower. The ADV is powered by a new Euro 5-/BS6-compliant 888cc inline-three cylinder motor, which has a throatier exhaust note thanks to the new 1-3-2 firing order. The new engine puts out 95PS (same as before) of power and 87Nm of peak torque, an increase of 8Nm.

Its electronics package has been updated as well. The Tiger 900 now gets cornering ABS, six rider modes (Rally Pro trim): Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road, Rider, and Off-Road Pro in addition to Triumph’s Shift Assist (a bi-directional quickshifter). You also have the My Triumph connectivity module as standard on the pro trims.

Same goes for the bike’s hardware which receives a substantial update over the Tiger 800. You can read about in detail here.
