- In the never-ending quest to ride the Tiger 900 GT Pro in the summer, I try a new deflector coming to the market.
Check out these custom clip-on deflectors: www.ebay.com/i...
No modifications needed to your bike and takes less than 2 minutes to install.
I’m a Houstonian, so I feel your pain! 😂 I’m coming off an Indian Roadmaster to a new 2024 Triumph Tiger Rally Pro, so I don’t find the heat too bad in comparison, especially underway. But I do feel it, especially on the left side. I’m going to give these a go! 😃 I really love that they are easily removable, because I expect I’m going to want that heat come winter time. (As an aside, I’d guess that’s why Triumph isn’t concerned about it. For those crazy Brits, anything over 75 degrees is a heatwave. We need to invite them to Texas in August! 😉) Thank you for the solid review! 😃
I’ve had them installed on my 900 for a couple months now and logged 3500 miles with them. Great addition to my Tiger!
Great work with the work around with that problem i had noticed they installed them on the 1200 rally pro 2024 as standard ask a friend thats got the older one and he said that it gets hot so will defo let him know theres somthing for it
Ordered a set today; I hope they do the trick. P.S., I'm in Fort Worth too.
Euro 5 engines are very hot. I built a deflector for a Tiger sport 66O.
Triumph needs to do what BMW did decades ago. Treat heat management seriously. I own a BMW R1250RT and have ridden the S1000RR, S1000XR, K1600B, R18 and have never felt much of any heat from any of these bikes. Nothing really. Back in 1983/84 when BMW came out with the K100 series, they didn't even consider heat management for rider comfort. And it showed. Those early K bikes were infamous for cooking their riders and causing vapor lock because the gas tank got so hot.
I would be curious to see their data on bike distribution and what environments the majority of their bikes are being operated in. If they want to stick to selling their bikes in the northern latitudes I suppose they can leave it as is, but if BMW can do it... so too can Triumph.
I'm a believer in the fact that adv bikes *should* be dirty, due to their very nature :)
I have one of the newer 1200s, rather than the 900. I used to own the 900 rally pro, but traded up to the 1200 rp. I can definitely say that the 1200's radiator heat management is *MUCH* better than the 900's. (*ESPECIALLY* in Texas heat. I'm in Austin, for the record).
Looking at the 1200 is certainly looks like they took it into account in the fairing design. So frustrating that they ignored the issue on the 900. Unfortunately, the 1200 is just totally overkill for my purposes, but it is a lovely motorcycle.
@@mototigress I love mine. I have it mainly for long-haul touring that includes some off-pavement. Suits my needs perfectly :)
