Triumph Tiger 1200 photo gallery

It would take a trained eye to notice the differences between the old Triumph Tiger Explorer and the new Tiger 1200. Triumph however, claims that there are 100 differences between the two. We recently rode the Tiger 1200 in Spain and can’t wait to get another taste of it once it is launched here next year. For now, here is a photo gallery of the new Triumph Tiger 1200 – 

Apart from dropping ‘Explorer’ from the moniker, the adventure touring motorcycle features minor revisions to the fairing and body.

The front integrates LED headlamps with cornering function while the windshield height can be electrically adjusted through the switchgear. 

The Tiger 1200 gets a five-inch colour TFT instrument console which can be controlled through a five-way joystick on the backlit switchgear.

It also gets a new ‘Off Road Pro’ riding mode and cruise control. The IMU maintains leash over the ABS, traction control, suspension and the LED headlamps. 

Powering the Tiger 1200 is a 1200cc three-cylinder engine with an output of 140bhp. The six-speed transmission now gets a bidirectional quickshifter.

The Tiger 1200 rides on fully-adjustable semi-active WP suspension setup, with 48mm inverted forks up front and a monoshock at the rear.

The brake setup consists of twin 305mm discs with Brembo callipers at the front and a 282mm disc with Nissin calliper at the rear.

The Tiger 1200 XRT is the road going version and features alloy wheels and road-biased tyres, while the XCA gets spoke wheels and dual-sport tyres.
