Tiger

The Triumph Tiger goes back 80 years; that’s even longer than the iconic Bonneville. It’s an adventure story richer and older than any other brand. Since the 1930s the Tiger has been synonymous with genuine dual-purpose off-road and on-road touring. The Tigers, first produced in 1936, were single-cylinder workhorses. Although used for everything from racing to everyday transport, their association with the rough stuff came early on – all tested by Harold Perry, the motorcycle trials rider. The early Tiger was also the bike of choice for many in the International Six Days Trial in the early ’60s, winning in all three classes entered, first time out. As World War II hit, the Tiger was redesigned to become the rugged vehicle of choice for the military. The high-performance sport motorcycle of the time (released in 1939), the Tiger 100 was an excellent all-rounder. Bulletproof construction, by 1939’s standards, and a pretty impressive performance from the 498cc engine made it great for hauling gear and eating up the miles. It was also the motorcycle of choice for pioneering ‘Godfather of adventure’ Ted Simon’s around-the-world trip in 1973. Triumph’s Tigers represent the pinnacle of adventure capability, technology and style. The road-focused Tiger XR line-up is all about mile-munching capability, comfort and fun. Whether it’s commuting or a coast-to-coast road trip, the Tiger Triple devours the miles with ease. Now sporting the latest state-of-the-art technology and powerful 800 and 1200cc engines, the new Tiger generation sets the benchmark all over again. Following in the footsteps of the original off-road competition Tigers, the dual-purpose XC line-up is all about going off the beaten track. The top-of-the-range off-road-focused XC A is equipped with all the latest tools to make it a benchmark-setting adventure motorcycle. Fully adjustable suspension, advanced rider modes and sharp ride-by-wire throttle response with plenty of low-down power, the 800 and 1200 XC A ’S are a serious force on rough terrain. Launched in December 2019, an all-new Tiger has joined Triumph’s incredible adventure line-up. The Tiger 900 represents a quantum leap in capability with two distinct ranges: the GT range is a road-focused motorcycle fully-equipped for long distance riding, while the Tiger 900 Rally range is built for maximum off-road adventure with all-day riding comfort.
