New for 2022: Tiger 1200


Recommended Posts

  • Administrators

This is kind of a big deal. 55lb lighter (still 529 wet; not bad in class), 21”/18” wheel options, 30 liter tank option, shaft drive and….. 147 hp!!!

 

Comment from the IG post basically saying this is true “big trail” rather than the former street-only line. Definitely gunning for the GS/GSA.

 

I like the looks pulled from the current Tiger 900.

 

I’d love to ride one soon

 

From Triumph:

 

Significantly lighter and much more powerful, with class leading handling and specification, plus all of Triumph’s new T-plane triple performance advantage, the all-new Tiger 1200 has been designed to be the world’s most capable, agile and manoeuvrable large capacity adventure motorcycle.

 

Delivering a transformation in capability and performance on the tarmac, and the most dynamic and exciting experience off road, the new generation brings the best of all worlds with a whole new Tiger line-up, including for the first time two all-new 30 litre tank Tiger Explorer options.
