RIDE REVIEW I 2024 TRIUMPH TIGER 900 LINE
P70
The GT Pro, which we only
rode on pavement, is fun to
ride and right at home in fast
twisties. Plus, if you're inseam
challenged, the low seat height
of just 32.3 inches in the low
position makes for a very
comfortable experience when
you come to a stop. But you do
pay for that low ride once you
start to lean the bike over in fast
turns, and I found the constant
dragging of foot pegs to be very
annoying. If I purchased the GT,
I would probably remove the
extra-long curb feelers from
under the pegs to give myself
a bit more lean angle. Wind
protection on both the Rally Pro
and GT Pro is very good, and the
on-the-fly adjustable windscreen
is super easy to use and offers a
wide range of adjustability. The
base model GT comes with a
manually adjustable Marzocchi
rear suspension, while the GT
Pro steps up to an electronically
adjustable rear Marzocchi shock
and maintains the same manu
-
ally adjusted front fork found on
the base model.
The vast array of electronics
settings offered on the Tiger
900 come in handy when rid
-
ing on-road. Choosing between
Rain, Road and Sport makes
a noticeable difference in the
way these bikes perform; plus, if
you're not happy with one aspect
or another in any of the preset
modes, you can make changes
within the mode itself, or you can
go into a User setting and dial
the bike in exactly the way you
want it. Personally, I found Sport
with just a little extra damping
added to the rear shock to be
the sweet spot for me in the
fast and flowing Spanish roads
where the press intro was held.
Another new, very cool electronic
feature that's been added to
the '24 model is an emergency
deceleration warning wherein
the rear blinkers flash several
times to warn traffic behind you
Of course, Triumph offers
plenty of accessories for the
Tiger 900, like the ones shown
on the Rally Pro on the left.
