inches of travel. Showa handles rear shock
duty, as well, with a preload- and rebound-
only-adjustable nine inches of travel.
Both suspension components work well
on and off-road. Having a fully adjustable fork
is a nice feature and the shock works well despite it
lacking compression adjustments.
The Akront, outer rim-spoked tubeless wheels (21-
inch front and 17-inch rear) provide a good platform
for all-terrain travel with a wide array of tire options
available for their size. Not as historically robust as
center-pull spoked wheels for aggressive off-road
romping, these wheel styles still hold up fine for
most rider's needs. We ripped Pirelli Scorpion Rally
tires for our off-road excursions and, as the factory-
approved tire spec, they worked great. We only had
one front flat in our group and the Moroccan country-
side wasn't exactly smooth.
Mounted up on the wheels are some se-
rious brakes. Brembo four-piston Monobloc
Stylema front calipers clamp dual 320mm
discs via a radial front master cylinder while
a Brembo rear caliper grabs a 255mm disc
for sweet skids courtesy of your right boot.
ABS TRACTION CONTROL
When it comes to rider aids, Triumph has done
some great homework for the Tiger 900 Rally.
While it contains all the on-road ABS and Traction
Control tech as it's GT counterpart, it features off-
road specific robot control, as well.
Standard aboard is a new optimized-cornering
ABS that adapts the braking performance based
on the lean angle, automatically. There are three
standard modes: Road, Off-Road and off. Traction
Control follows suit with cornering-enable tech in-
There isn't much
the Tiger 900 Rally
can't do. It's also
quite comfortable
on the road.
