COMPARISON I KTM 890 ADVENTURE R VS. TRIUMPH TIGER 900 RALLY PRO
P72
where. Triumph runs with Showa suspension
for the Rally Pro, with 9.4-inches of wheel
travel coming from a front end that consists
of 45mm forks, fully adjustable for preload,
rebound, and compression. At the rear,
Showa's monoshock doesn't come with full
adjustment, offering preload and rebound
with nine inches of wheel travel. Seat height
is variable, with 33.5-inch as the base height
and 34.3-inches on the high side.
Brakes come in the form of dual superbike-
spec Brembo Stylema four-piston units
gripping 320mm discs up front with a single-
piston caliper clamping a 255mm disc at the
back, both ends feted by Cornering ABS.
Tubeless spoked wheels measure
21-inches on the front and 17-inches
on the rear and are wrapped in Pirelli
Scorpion rubber as standard but were
strangely fitted by Triumph North
America with Dunlop Trailmax Mis-
sion dual sport rubber for our test.
Running a full 5.3-gallon tank of gas,
we measured the Triumph at 505 pounds
Low-speed throttle response is vastly improved
on the Triumph with the T-plane crank.
