Delivering more power, torque, capability and comfort, the new Tiger 900 range from Triumph Motorcycles is raising the bar for middleweight adventure bikes in 2024. The new lineup includes the Tiger 900 GT, GT Pro and Rally Pro, each providing a significant step-up in performance and specification.
The Tiger 900’s trademark three-cylinder engine has received a major update, including revised engine components, which provides 13% more power than the previous generation, giving 108 pferdestärke of peak power and a higher peak torque of 90 newton meters. The new engine also offers greater tractability lower in the rev range. With its T-plane crank and offset firing intervals, the Tiger 900 maintains its characterful and distinctive performance and sound, as well as achieving enhanced performance throughout the whole rev range and up to 9% better fuel economy.
All-new active safety features provide more capability across the range, including enhanced braking for better control and reduced stopping distances, as well as a new emergency deceleration warning system, which activates the hazard lights when braking rapidly and automatically deactivates when you pull away.
New marker lights provide a prominent silhouette especially at night and in poor visibility. The new range also features new 7-inch TFT instruments, with new graphics and menu system and a new USB-C cockpit charger, as well as My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity as standard on all models.
The new rider seat is flatter and roomier, with heated seats on both Pro models, designed specifically to provide more long-distance comfort, with 20-millimeter adjustability on the seat height for all models and an accessory heated, low-rider seat available, which reduces the seat height by a further 20 millimeters. This offers GT models with a potential seat height as low as 800 millimeters, which, combined with the narrow stand over width, improves accessibility.
A new damped handlebar mounting system creates a more comfortable ride, plus the enhanced handlebar position on the Rally Pro, with the bars 15 millimeters closer, facilitates a more agile ride while sitting or standing.
Bringing even more Tiger attitude, the 2024 range has new bodywork across the beak, cockpit and side panels in an integrated design that gives each motorcycle an aggressive, adventure-focused stance. New contemporary and dynamic paint schemes and graphics complete the look.
A new Akrapovič silencer heads up the comprehensive list of more than 50 accessories; plus, customers can choose from four tailored accessory packs: the Performance, Protection, Trekker and Expedition kits.
The new range retains all of the Tiger 900’s class-leading specification:
- Optimized cornering anti-lock brakes (ABS) and traction control with inertial measurement unit (IMU)
- Up to six riding modes, including Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road, plus Rider Configurable for the GT Pro and Rally Pro, and Off-Road Pro for the Rally Pro only

More Performance
Unique to Triumph, the T-plane crank engine with its 1-3-2 firing order and distinctive, raspy triple exhaust bark has been further developed for the new Tiger 900 range.
Engine revisions have resulted in a power increase of 13%, taking the Tiger 900 from 95 pferdestärke to an impressive 108 pferdestärke. This has been achieved while gaining more torque and tractability at low rpm. The increased power can be felt throughout the rev-range, with a more muscular mid-range and improved acceleration.
On the road, the new Tiger 900 is agile and easy to ride at low speeds, but with plenty of performance for rapid bursts of acceleration and effortless high-speed touring. In more technical off-road situations, the fine throttle control is intuitive and confidence-inspiring
Each model benefits from a specific suspension setup, designed to meet the needs of the rider for each model.
The GT is fitted with high-quality Marzocchi suspension with adjustable compression and rebound damping. With 180 millimeters of fork travel and 170 millimeters of rear wheel travel, the setup has been tuned specifically for the GT to deliver excellent road handling and long-ride comfort with the capability to tackle off-road terrain.
The GT Pro also uses Marzocchi suspension. Adjustable forks are matched to an electronically adjustable rear suspension unit; this allows for easy and convenient preload adjustments at the touch of a button to suit riders travelling solo, with a pillion or fully loaded.
The Rally Pro uses Showa suspension, offering riders adjustability and a generous 240-millimeter front and 230-millimeter rear wheel travel. This high-quality progressive suspension setup provides capability and versatility on all roads.
Complementing this specific suspension, the road-focused GT and GT Pro have lightweight cast alloy wheels, 19 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear, for the perfect balance between road handling and off-road capability. The Rally Pro uses tubeless spoked wheels with a 21-inch front for pure off-road performance and features a broad tire choice.
Best-in-class Brembo Stylema brake calipers are fitted to all three new Tiger 900 models, ensuring effective stopping power and a sensitive lever feel that helps to keep braking powerful, smooth and controlled.
More Capability
The new Tiger 900 for 2024 features new active safety features to improve visibility on the road, including a new emergency deceleration warning system, which activates the hazard lights when braking rapidly and automatically deactivates when you pull away. In addition, new marker lights provide a prominent silhouette, especially at night and in poor visibility.
Optimized cornering ABS and Traction Control comes as standard across all three Tiger 900 models. Together with the ride-by-wire throttle, the level of assistance can be altered with four different standard riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road.
The GT Pro has five modes with the additional Rider Programmable mode allowing fine-tuning to suit the rider’s preferences and riding style. The Rally Pro has six modes with the extra Off-Road Pro mode disabling ABS and traction control completely to allow the Tiger 900 Rally Pro’s capability to be fully utilized off-road.
The new enhanced braking system automatically balances front and rear braking effort, working in harmony with the optimized cornering ABS system to improve stability under hard braking while significantly reducing stopping distances.
Triumph’s Slip and Assist clutch system is fitted to all three Tiger 900 models, giving light clutch lever action to reduce rider fatigue, especially for congested urban riding conditions and for technical off-road riding. This system also improves rear wheel control under rapid deceleration, assisting with smooth and assured corner entry on a range of surfaces.
The Pro models are also equipped with the Triumph Shift Assist system. This allows clutch-less gear changes both up and down the gearbox for seamless acceleration and super-smooth deceleration.
The My Triumph Connectivity System is now standard on all Tiger 900 models. Music, phone and turn-by-turn navigation can all be accessed via the new intuitive and easy-to-read 7-inch TFT display which is bonded to the glass for a crisp, non-reflective image. Heated grips and seats plus a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are also standard on both Pro models.
More All-Day Comfort
The seat has been redesigned for enhanced long-distance comfort whilst retaining the ease of movement for the rider to find his or her perfect ergonomic position. All models feature 20 millimeters of adjustability, as well as heated seats for both Pro models for optimum comfort in all weather.
A new damped handlebar mounting system creates a more comfortable ride, while the handlebar position on the Rally Pro has been moved back by 15 millimeters. This slight reduction in reach improves seated comfort while also improving rider control and bike agility in the standing position when riding off-road.
Even the shape of the 20-liter fuel tank has been carefully considered to provide the perfect seated riding position without compromising control when standing. An adjustable screen with five settings spanning 50 millimeters ensures all riders can enjoy excellent high-speed wind protection.
More Attitude
The aggressive Tiger styling and distinctive adventure-focused stance has been revised and sharpened. The new bodywork now has a cleaner, more integrated design that flows beautifully from the beak, through the cockpit and into the side panels.
Three striking, new paint schemes and graphics are available for each model. The GT and GT Pro are available in Snowdonia White as standard, with two premium paint options: Graphite and Sapphire Black, and Carnival Red and Sapphire Black. The Rally Pro is available in Carbon Black and Sapphire Black, with the option to upgrade to the striking Ash Grey and Intense Orange or Matt Khaki Green and Matt Phantom Black.
Accessories
Over 50 accessories and four accessory kits are available for the new Tiger 900 range. The fully loaded Performance accessory pack includes a brand-new Akrapovič silencer, the first of a number of new exhaust systems developed in partnership. With a lightweight titanium design with carbon end caps, the new silencer delivers a 1-kilogram weight savings and an even better sound. The pack also includes front and rear scrolling indicators with new marker light feature as well as billet-machined adventure footpegs.
The Protection Pack showcases key practical accessories, lower and upper engine bar kits, tank pad, sump guard, fork protectors, radiator guard and a headlight guard kit for off-road. The Trekker and Expedition packs provide two distinct, tailored luggage options for extended touring or off-road adventures.
On the Road
Triumph Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said, “The Tiger 900 already has an excellent reputation as an award-winner and rally competitor, enjoying success against production motorcycles as well as purpose-built off-road machines. In fact, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro was used by World Enduro Champion Iván Cervantes, securing champion titles at the Baja Aragón Rally, 1000 Dunas Raid and Bassela Enduro in 2022.
“With such an impressive pedigree, we needed to set ourselves a high target to improve the new Tiger 900. We were focused on raising the game in the middleweight category all over again. As a result, we’ve delivered a significant step-up, with more performance, more capability, more all-day comfort, and an aggressive style and poise.”
In the U.K., the Tiger 900 GT will start from £12,195 on the road (OTR), the Tiger 900 GT Pro from £13,895 OTR and the Tiger 900 Rally Pro from £14,495 OTR.
Orders can be placed now at Triumph dealers, with bikes available for delivery from early 2024.
