Designed to set a new category benchmark for maxi-
mum adventure in every ride, Triumph’s new Tiger 900
is completely transformed with an all-new more respon-
sive 900cc triple engine, an incredible standard of speci-
fication, new state-of-the-art ride-enhancing technology,
and an aggressive new
Tiger style and attitude.
On top of that, the new
Tiger 900 range is now
significantly lighter than
previous Tiger models,
making these the most ca-
pable, agile and dynamic
middleweight adventure
bikes available.
The all-new higher
capacity and higher
performance 900cc en-
gine is now fully Euro 5
compliant, and has a new
unique 1,3,2 firing order
for greater character and
feel. The result is impro-
ved intake noise under
load, more feedback from
the engine to the rider, an
incredibly distinctive en-
gine sound, and improved
tractability and throttle
feel, pulling harder, lower
down. The result of that is
a much closer association
to the throttle character,
sound and feel of a twin
lower down, whilst main-
taining all the torque,
feel and delivery in the
mid-range and top-end of
a triple.
The new engine deli-
vers a massive 10% more
peak torque than the pre-
vious Tiger 800 models, now 87Nm at 7,250rpm, with im-
proved 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.

Now up to 5kg lighter than the previous genera-
tion model, the new generation 900 delivers the most
commanding and agile Tiger ride ever. The new steel
trellis frame is not only lighter, but now has a modular
construction, with bolt-on aluminium rear sub-frame
and bolt-on pillion hangers,
delivering the most adven-
ture-centric set-up ever for
off-road focused riding.
There is a very high speci-
fication of suspension across
the new 900 range with pre-
mium Marzocchi or Showa
components tailored to
deliver the ultimate capabili-
ty for the benchmark-setting
new middleweight adventure
bikes.
All of the new Tiger 900
models now feature cate-
gory-leading Brembo Style-
ma® brakes for superior
stopping power. These are
lightweight, compact, ca-
refully sculpted and high
performing calipers, with
reduced volume around
the pistons and brake pads,
reducing the internal spa-
ce occupied by brake fluid,
delivering a more immediate
braking response. Increased
airflow around the brake
pads also helps the calipers
to cool quicker.
This combination of new
lightweight modular frame,
new lighter weight engine,
high specification suspen-
sion and premium Brembo
brakes delivers a step chan-
ge in agility and capability,
ensuring exceptional handling in
all riding
scenarios.
Long distance travel has been improved on the new
Tiger 900 range, with a new larger 20 litre fuel tank
