Seems like Triumph did a great job listening to their customers on this redesign. Address many of the minor gripes of the 800 and more. Great looking bike! Nice job Triumph. Should be a real competitor for sure
Well that saved me having to read the sale brochure ;-) Strangely enough, the only thing stopping me buying this bike is the report of the new Tiger 1200 coming soon :-)
Triumph: spoked tubeless rims/wheels on this GT model would have been fantastic! I prefer 17-19 inches wheels like there is on the GT model but i want tubeless spoked wheels/rims like there is on the V-Strom 650/1050 XT. Please offer a cheap option to swap cast wheels for tubeless spoked wheels; thanks. In some reviews: they said there is annoying engine vibrations at 4500 rpm & over: will you resolve this issue before selling them ? On your internet site: when we configure a Tiger 900 GT : in accessories: there is no center stand!
Just when I thought I had my next bike sorted, along comes this beauty from Triumph. Ah well, back to the drawing board!! Wonder what the revamped Tiger 1200 will offer?? Now I'm getting a headache!
I am in the same boat Andrew. I ride a Daytona but cant travel across Australia on it. So I was looking at Triumph tiger 800 xca or bmw 1250 gt. But now i am adding tiger 900 to the comparisons lol
@@randysavage1997 hi Randy, I really liked it overall. Everything works beautifully, brakes, lights, mirrors, smooth gearbox and gorgeous triple engine, BUT, I say liked because I did a test on a BMW 1250 GS and absolutely loved it. I found it to be more stable, more manoeuvrable, the huge amount of low down torque is incredible, etc. And, as much of my riding is in urban environments, I traded the Tiger in! But I would still recommend it in all ways.
What about the engine and tank guards that can be added to the GT Pro - same as the Rally Pro? There have been some reports that the OEM crash guards are not designed properly and will not hold up in the event of a simple drop of the bike? IF true will Triumph be recalling these guards to reinforce them and repair any damage as a result of the guards not fit for purpose? I hope so....
I'm wondering if Triumph has considered creating a Tiger Twin using the 1200 Bonny engine? (not a scrambler but a true adventure bike with fairing etc.)
Is there an update to the tiger 1050 sport? I owned the 2010 model but the current model is not so comfy for pillion. The rest of the current bike is good but room for update.
It's not so comfy for the rider either, I had a custom seat done for mine and it's much better than the original. Mine is the 2013 early Sport model, don't know what the later model is like but I'd imagine it's probably similar.
I’m in the market for a adventure bike & this bike ticks all my boxes ! Except for one ! No spoked wheels I’m so disappointed. I waited a long time for the 900’s to arrive but alas none of the models really suit me. The rally model is “too” off road and as I do the majority of my riding on paved roads the GT really suits me in every aspect except the wheels. I was on a ride a couple of years ago with 250km of gravel roads and tracks, I was the only guy with mag wheels all the others had spoked wheels we all hit the occasional rock but my bike was the only one who’s rim got slightly dented enough for a slow leak ... I had to limp 1700km home. Consequently I will never buy an adventure bike with mag wheels ..... I’m now looking at the Suzuki XT 1050 although probably not as good an off road bike on paper as the GT the XT just looks the part & would be fine on gravel roads & tracks both bikes have the same wheel sizes except the Suzuki has the spoke wheels & let’s face it 99% of guys buying an adventure bike want spoke wheels ! Even if they never take it off road spoke wheels are stronger & look better. Adventure bikes with mag wheels simply look like road bikes.
That’s a slick sales pitch and the shiny stuff sure sparkles, but the elephant in Triumph’s room not being talked about here is called Thailand. Show us how the production facilities ensure quality control and how Triumph dealerships address issues with industry leading service and warranties. I really want one, but I really don’t want to be worrying about “the little things” that Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki solved years ago.
If they built the bikes in Britain using parts sourced elsewhere would that be better, or would you expect every single component to be made in the UK too?
and .. still 12K mile major service costing $1,500? Or did you guys made the new engine more durable where we can ride longer before needing to do a valve adjustment
The bikes I had in the 90s had 4K miles service intervals; my old Kwaka 550 had to have the clearances checked at every 4k service. Some people don't know when they're born.
Absolutely stunning looking bike. Will it be made in Hinckley, or in Thailand. If it's made in Thailand, then it's not really a British bike then is it ?????
Unfortunately, they are not alone (even Harley is on the list...): motorcyclesdata.com/2020/01/21/thailand-motorcycles/ "Nowadays, there are 7 motorcycle manufacturers in Thailand with total capacity of production at 3 million units per year. They are Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, Triumph and Ducati."
sickfruit Its the same for most companies...some are still made in italy and japan, but overtime, more and more will be built overseas. People want high quality at a cheap price...theres not 10000 options to achieve that.
@@Speedytrip that's great but unfortunately I'm not interested in a Thai built bike. Triumph trades on its heratage, it's got the union Jack designed in their badge! My ktms built in Austria, my tuono in northern Italy, my next bike after more saving will be from America. I'm not putting my money in a company which has moved abroad purely for profit, giving up their history and british jobs at the same time.
@@sickfruit I know what you mean and I'm not saying its great, I was just stating the obvious it's todays world economy and I don't see many companies going back to their old practices. Triumph started sending parts of its production in Thailand almost 20 years ago...
New segment, the first GS was a 800 the second was a 1000. The first KTM Adventure was a 910 the second was a 990. The first Tiger in 1981 was a TR7T. So what's new?
Almost there, some things have to be improved and I can hand you £10000. 1) Since you have the option to different layouts for the TFT screen why not include a more traditional round or line strip tachometer? 2) Slightly longer front mud guard wouldn’t spoil the looks, it has to be long enough to protect the radiator and regulator/rectifier. Come on guys… it’s obvious. 3) Settings like traction control, modes etc should stay where they were before switching the engine off. I can see frustration if I have to set them every time I start. ABS of course and heated grips are fine to go back to default setting. 4) The joystick on the left handlebar is too close to the indicator switch, even without gloves can be mistaken for indicator’s switch. That’s obvious too… I wonder how could you not see it. Also is too flimsy. 5) Flimsy indicators maybe? 2,3,4,5 are deal breakers, I can see future frustration and expenses arising from them. The thing is I do not think is going to cost you so much to improve them, so.. WHY NOT..?
I don't mind paying extra for a Triumph if it's built in England.. Sadly Triumphs moving it's production to Thialand but still asking top dollar for the bikes.
still underpowered to the Yamaha Tracer GT(that still hasnt has a Euro 5 engine). But a larger price tag. So i'll wait for 2021 when the Tracer GT gets a new Euro 5 engine.
@Mike W I thought Triumph aims for the Tiger GT (Gran Turismo) the same category as the Tracer GT (Gran Turismo). And then there is the Tiger Rally (Of road). Maybe they had to choose a different name then instead of GT. Just like the BMW 900XR, that is also a concurrent for the Tracer GT. Or maybe i'm wrong again?
Mike W good comments. Since you’ve riden both the Tiger 900 GT and BMW F900XR which would you like to take on a three day two night tour, including high speed freeway, twisty mountain passes and potholed back roads without passenger?
Think I'd rather have a Moto Guzzi V85 TT. It has a bit of character in it's styling if nothing else. This Triumph could have any badge stamped on it and no one would be any the wiser.
The same people moaning about Triumph relocating manufacture to Thailand probably think that RE are brit. bikes. Much more importantly, Triumph are retaining a large number of R and D jobs in the UK. As for Brit. bikes, look what happened to Norton.
Hey up! I selected to look at the Tiger Gt not the Gt pro that you are shoving at me? So your showing me the wrong bike with the wrong specs! What a dolly!!!
New 24' TFT menus have too many non needed menu items! Can blend data to one to 3 screens, accessable by one button click . Not ez while driving. See bmw or Ducati daivel !
You're looking at the high-spec model - the GT Pro. They do a gadget-less cheaper one (simply called the Tiger 900) that costs just £9,500. No TFT, no quickshifter, no electronic suspension.
The low beam with only one light instead of 2 on all the previous Tigers is not really a progress. And as on the new 765 RS the revs are impossible to read... 👎
I read it's slightly thirstier alright, although it has an extra litre in the tank, tank range remains the same (or slightly worse). It's the cost of an extra 100cc and an irregular firing order. Might have something to do with Euro 5 requiring the emissions to remain under a certain level for the lifetime of machine (not just the first 12k miles, as was with Euro 4), running richer might give the cat more lifespan.
Shouldn't it be called the Thailand 900 as they've gone all out for the $$$$ and can no longer claim to be a British icon being made as far from London as Kawasaki!!!!!!!!!!
Well said, Sue. I was actually going to buy a £20k Rocket 3, thinking I would be buying a British motorcycle, and supporting manufacturing in my own country. Not any more....I'll be buying a Japanese bike, made in Japan, instead.
gonna buy it for the “carefully sculpted” brakes
There is more info here than two separate dealerships in my area were able to cite. Thumbs up.
I picked my new GT up this week and its phenomenal and the red matches my 2012 Thruxton
Awesome!!! I can’t wait for it to arrive!!!
Very Well described...Detailed review.👍👍👍

Have you fixed cruise control screaming engine when you pull clutch lever
Good review and nice looking bike also great it has a lower seat hight for shorty's like me.

No centre stand or fog lights. Centre stand should be standard on the mid spec GT in my opinion.

Had the old 800 for a couple of years but found it too top heavy. Will try this one, as they claim the weight is less, and lower.
I pick up my 2021 GT Pro next week!
Previsão de quando chega ao brazil?
Can we ride with pillion after fiting the 3 boxes?
are the grab rails seperate from the pannier rails ?
Want one!
I'm wondering if Triumph has considered creating a Tiger Twin using the 1200 Bonny engine? (not a scrambler but a true adventure bike with fairing etc.)
Omg awesome AVD

Used to love the older one than this in terms of looks
Agreed, it doesn't look bad but previous model looked more rugged.
Is there a 12v outlet on the cockpit, or only on the pillion side.
both
Where are these bikes and motors built?
Podiam melhorar os preços aqui no Brasil, pois aqui é aonde mais se vende tiger no mundo.
This advert wins the Buzzword Bingo prize, hands down.
This guy has a channel or something? Nice review
Yes Yes Yes !!! 😎👍
Cool
Good-looking machine. Will the low option still have the centre-stand please?
Next!
Stunning! As soon as I decide between the GT Pro or Rally Pro, I'd say, 'here Triumph, take my money'.
Great for short riders!

Great review, Triumph. Now please review the BMW f900xr.
I tested XR and Triumph better ride and engine note. XR I turned back after 15 mins had enough wanted my GS back. Triumph will steel some BMW riders
Triumph should build their bikes in Great Britain
Yes, or they should be forced to remove the union jack and clearly label .'made in Thailand' on the bike in a prominent position.
I don't think they should because we would like the bikes to work well
Think before you ink. Made in britain Cost you twice more and then oh its so expensive 😂😂😂
@@tonebonetones don't be so racist. I don't think you get better qulity if they built in britain for twice more money. Or don't buy it.
If they built the bikes in Britain using parts sourced elsewhere would that be better, or would you expect every single component to be made in the UK too?

Nice new motorcycle. Unfortunately, the synchronization between the image and the sound in the video is much less qualitative

8:36 Does the GT really come with shift-assist? The websites specs say differently.
GT PRO(top specs) has it and can be added to GT(mid specs) model.
How can u call 900 more powerful when both this & 800 are 95bhp?
Peak power is the same, but power profile across the rev range is different. Apparently.

This is 100 pounds lighter than the 1200. I wonder if it actually has a higher power-to-weight ratio.
Easy math. The 1200: 540 lbs, 140 hp = 3.8 lbs per hp. 900: 435 lbs. 95 hp = 4.7 lbs per hp.
I like the look of the bike....shame you didn't let us hear the engine...
...or mention it is made in Thailand, resulting in British jobs being lost.
You need to put that engine in a Street Triple and call it Street Triple GT or smth.
The same people moaning about Triumph relocating manufacture to Thailand probably think that RE are brit. bikes. Much more importantly, Triumph are retaining a large number of R and D jobs in the UK. As for Brit. bikes, look what happened to Norton.

Can you review the KTM 1290 ADV?
$$$ Too many gadgets, and too damn expensive. $$$
You're looking at the high-spec model - the GT Pro. They do a gadget-less cheaper one (simply called the Tiger 900) that costs just £9,500. No TFT, no quickshifter, no electronic suspension.
Now its easy for SWIGGY/Amazon people to deliver more orders at a time with those boxes mounted 💐
The low beam with only one light instead of 2 on all the previous Tigers is not really a progress.
And as on the new 765 RS the revs are impossible to read... 👎
Mucha informacion confunde
Has anyone seen the MPG figures i think they are worse than my Tiger 800 !
I read it's slightly thirstier alright, although it has an extra litre in the tank, tank range remains the same (or slightly worse). It's the cost of an extra 100cc and an irregular firing order. Might have something to do with Euro 5 requiring the emissions to remain under a certain level for the lifetime of machine (not just the first 12k miles, as was with Euro 4), running richer might give the cat more lifespan.
