RIDE REVIEW I 2024 TRIUMPH TIGER 900 LINE
P68
Let's be clear: the current Tiger
900 is no slouch. They've already
sold more than 45,000 units, and
everyone from the press to their
customers love it. It's a great bike,
but Triumph wasn't satisfied with
good enough, so they took the same
T-Plane triple from the 2023 model,
added new pistons, a new cylinder
head, new camshaft, new intake
trumpets, a new exhaust header—
and if that's not enough for you, then
you can add a specifically tuned
Akrapovic titanium silencer as an
accessory. All these changes make
for a motor that sounds fantastic
and is an absolute blast to ride.
We spent two days in southern
Spain, riding the GT Pro on-road
the first day and the Rally Pro off-
road the second day. Triumph has
dropped the Explorer trims and the
base model Rally from its lineup for
2024, but you can still get a base
model GT, although I'm not sure why
you would, since for just a bit more
money, you get a lot more features
in both Pro variations. Regardless of
which you choose, these bikes work
exceptionally well. The GT models
offer a smaller 19-inch front wheel
to produce a steeper geometry for
fast on-road riding and better initial
turn-in on pavement, while the Rally
Pro comes with the more off-road
orientated 21-inch front. Each model
has a 17-inch rear wheel, using
cast for the GT trims and tubeless
spokes for the Rally Pro to align with
their intended use. Both new Tigers
come with twin 320mm full-floating
front discs and Brembo Stylema
four-piston Monobloc calipers. The
brakes work like magic, smooth as
silk and very predictable, as you
would expect from these high-quali
-
ty components.
The Tiger 900 Rally
Pros were fitted with
Michelin Anakee
Wild tires for the
press intro.
