All-new Triumph Tiger 900 launched at Rs 13.70 lakh onward

UK based Triumph Motorcycles has launched the all new Tiger 900 in India. The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 will be available in three variants in India –Tiger 900 GT (Rs 13,70,000), Rally (Rs 14,35,000 ) and        Rally Pro (Rs 15,50,000). All prices are ex-showroom.

The Triumph Tiger is the longest running adventure motorcycle with 80 years of off-roading adventure history. The new Triumph Tiger 900 is powered by a liquid-cooled, 12-valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder, 900cc engine. These new models are lighter than previous Tiger models. There is more power across the entire rev range, with 9% more in the mid-range and a new unique 1-3-2 firing order for greater character and feel with category-leading acceleration.

The Tiger 900 GT has been transformed for even more urban adventure, genuine long distance travel and everything in between while the Tiger 900 Rally and Tiger 900 Rally Pro have been transformed for maximum off-road adventure, and road focused capability and comfort.

Shoeb Farooq, Business Head - Triumph Motorcycles India said that the three variants – Tiger 900 GT, Rally & Rally pro will cater to both on-road and hard-core off-roading enthusiasts along with those wanting a long distance touring motorcycle.

A larger capacity new BS-VI compliant 900cc triple engine brings improved performance to the Tiger 900. The new engine delivers 10% more peak torque than the previous Tiger 800 models, - now 87Nm at 7,250rpm with improved torque low down and across the rev range. Power is also up across the entire rev range, with 9% more in the mid-range, and 95PS peak power at 8,750rpm.

A new 1-3-2 firing order has been incorporated for a more engaged Tiger riding experience -the result of the new firing order is improved intake noise under load, more feedback from the engine to the rider, an incredibly distinctive engine sound, and improved tractability and throttle feel - pulling harder, lower down; the result of this is a much closer association to the throttle character - sound and feel of a twin lower down, whilst maintaining all the torque, feel and delivery in the mid-range and top-end of a triple.

Combined, this delivers more responsive acceleration, with 0-60mph, 0-110mph and 6th gear roll on times all significantly beating the previous generation model and the closest competition. Additionally, it gives the new Tiger 900 a much more aggressive, raspy and engaging triple soundtrack.

An all-new twin radiator set up improves cooling performance and reduces the heat onto the rider. The new radiator style enhances the new models’ more striking adventure bike stance and poise. Its shape and position enable a further forward engine position, resulting in a more optimised centre of gravity (40mm forward and 20mm lower). This improves weight distribution for better handling and low speed balance, whilst other improvements to the sump and cooling system ensure it has no impact on ground clearance.

There’s also an all-new air box with a more easily accessible new air filter, plus a slip and assist clutch for added rider comfort.
