The Tiger is a supremely
versatile bike whose rugged looks, torquey powerplant, long-travel
suspension and thoughtful ergonomics blend to give performance, practicality
and touring comfort.
A popular enduro-styled
all-rounder, the Tiger has been updated this year with a new 955cc
three-cylinder engine producing 105PS (104bhp) - making it the most powerful
machine in its class.
This new fuel-injected,
12-valve engine is the first of a new, third generation of Triumph’s
three-cylinder unit (the first being the carbureted engine introduced in the
early ‘90’s, and the second being the fuel-injected triple engine launched
on the Daytona and Speed Triple in 1996). The starter sprag clutch and
alternator have been moved to the end of the crankshaft resulting in a
reduction in weight and improved engine refinement, with less mechanical
noise especially at idle, whilst the gearchange selector mechanism has been
redesigned to give a smoother, more positive action. In addition the new
engine features high-pressure die-cast (HPDC) crankcases, which facilitates
improved consistency of manufacture and casting accuracy.
The Tiger motor's prodigious
midrange torque output, rising to a peak of 97N.m (72ft.lb) at 6200rpm, is
very much a characteristic of the triple, as is its smoothness throughout
the rev range.
With its enduro-style chassis
giving a roomy, upright riding position, the Tiger provides excellent
visibility, enhancing rider safety as well as allowing maximum enjoyment of
the view. The seat can be adjusted to suit a range of rider heights.
Chassis design combines a
purpose-designed steel perimeter frame with high quality, long travel
suspension. Both the front forks and rear monoshock have been designed
primarily for road riding, and cope superbly with a wide variety of
surfaces. The suspension and rigid frame combine with well-chosen geometry
to make the Tiger agile and enjoyable through the most demanding corners,
yet ensure stability at speed and when heavily loaded. Twin front and single
rear disc brakes with twin-piston calipers provide reassuring and
controllable stopping power.
Featuring new, more
aggressive graphics, the bike retains the distinctive twin-headlamp look for
which the Tiger has become known. The bike's excellent night-time visibility
is matched by the efficiency with which the frame-mounted fairing shields
the rider from wind with minimal turbulence.
Clever fuel tank design
allows a large 24 liter (5.3 gal) capacity, facilitating long distances
between refills, while keeping weight well forward for optimum balance and
allowing the rear of the tank to be kept slim. The Tiger's roomy dual-seat
also enhances the bike's long-distance ability, helping make it an ideal
companion for touring with or without a pillion. That is especially true
when the bike is fitted with Triumph's optional panniers, which were purpose
designed as an integral part of the machine.
