RIDE REVIEW I 2024 TRIUMPH TIGER 900 LINE P76 with. It's the same screen that's used on the current Tiger 1200, which we found to be very intuitive when we tested that model last year. Scrolling through the screens allows you to change all kinds of settings—from bike performance to how the screen itself appears and what information you see. Your heated seat and grip settings are displayed here, as well as the My Triumph Connect screen, which allows you to connect your smartphone and control music, phone and navigation. Both models include cruise control, self canceling turn signals and a quickshifter. All great features that you won't find on some other competitive models. Overall, there's not much to complain about with the new Tiger. If you're not riding off-road every day and dealing with those settings quirks I mentioned, you probably won't find anything to complain about. Of- fering even more performance, capability, comfort and attitude, the new 2024 Tiger 900 is an incredible machine, and I would own one myself, no question about it. With so many features and benefits, from opti- mized cornering ABS and traction control to all LED lighting, an estimated 260-mile range, heated seats for both passenger and rider, heated grips, and a motor that growls with attitude, who could ask for more? But Triumph has given us one more incentive to buy this bike—they've made it more afford- able to own by extending the valve service intervals to a whopping 18,000 miles. That makes for a 27% reduction in service cost based on three years of ownership. The Brit- ish are definitely coming, but it's not a bad thing. Unless you're BMW. Look for the new Tiger 900 to make its appearance in dealer showrooms in early 2024 with retail pricing starting at $14,995 for the base model GT, $16,895 for the GT Pro, and $17,395 for the Rally Pro.
