RIDE REVIEW I 2023 TRIUMPH TIGER 1200 G T & RALLY
P90
As with most bikes fitted for off-road use,
the seat height on the Rally is a bit taller at 34
inches in the low position, but the seat is adjust-
able on both models. The Rally also has more
suspension travel to handle extreme terrain.
Both Explorer trims incorporate blind-spot
warning indicators under each mirror, a feature
that I thought would be a nuisance, but after
riding the bikes I found it to be very handy
and not intrusive at all. Triumph chooses not
to include front-facing radar on any of these
models, stating that their customer research
indicated that adaptive cruise control was not a
highly desired item by consumers.
They did, however, include tons of other ad-
vanced technologies like cornering-optimized
ABS and traction control, Brembo Stylema
brakes, hill-hold control, keyless ignition with
steering lock and fuel-cap control, lean-sen-
sitive adaptive cornering lights, tire-pressure
monitoring, heated grips—and even heated
seats for both rider and passenger on the Ex-
plorer—as well as shift assist and more. Many
of these features can be added as accessories
if you opt for a trim that doesn't include them.
The handlebar
switches are lighted
for night riding.
The GT series is tuned more
for the pavement explorer.
