All-new Triumph Tiger 800 has been caught testing by MCN, and it looks like Triumph is giving it's bestseller a serious overhaul!



Rumoured to be an 887cc engine (up from the current 765cc), producing power upwards of 100bhp.



Thankfully, the rear end has a subframe clearly visible! This was one of the major complaints in the existing Tiger 800, with heavy repair bills likely even in the case of minor falls.



The suspension, as per MCN - is now Showa instead of the earlier WP setup. The bike also appears much slimmer to compensate for the seat height concerns.

It's lost a lot of bulk.

Almost looks midway between a Tenere 700 and the Africa Twin.

Looks like they are shedding the top heavy nature. Has a new type frame, likely a 900cc engine and all new Dashboard. Notice how the rear pegs are bolted and not welded like the current. Competition from the KTM has started to hit.

NA dealers confirm that they will announce it by Dec with deliveries starting late Spring. Waiting to see how it turns out.

Unveiled in six variants - Tiger 900, 900 GT and 900 Rally.

The Tiger 900 GT - Built for maximum urban adventure, proper long distance travel and everything in between, the GT range has all the performance, equipment and technology to approach every ride with confidence and excitement.

The Tiger 900 Rally - Dual-purpose motorbike, built for maximum off-road adventure and all-day riding capability, control and comfort, the Tiger 900 Rally range sets a new benchmark for handling, specification and style.

THE NEW TIGER 900 IN NUMBERS
900 CC ENGINE
All-new more responsive Euro 5 compliant triple engine.

95 PS PEAK POWER
Higher overall power across the entire rev range.

87 NM PEAK TORQUE
10% more torque, with even more torque low down.

A larger capacity new Euro 5 compliant 900cc triple engine brings improved performance to the Tiger 900. A new firing order has been incorporated for a more engaged Tiger riding experience giving up to 9% more power across the rev range and a high overall peak power of 95PS @ 8,750 rpm, plus 10% more peak torque than the Tiger 800 predecessor. The Tiger 900’s new T-plane triple crank and new 1,3,2 firing order has improved the character, off-road feel and on road performance of the engine and gives a more aggressive and engaging T-plane triple soundtrack with a more distinctive triple bark.

There’s also enhanced cooling performance from an all-new twin radiator set-up which improves air-flow management to reduce the ambient heat levels felt by the rider and reduce the volume of coolant. For added convenience, the new Tiger 900 range has a more easily accessible air filter.

Maximum agility and capability with exceptional handling – The new Tiger 900 is lighter overall by up to 5kg. The combination of new lightweight modular frame, new lighter weight engine, high specification suspension and premium category-leading Brembo brakes delivers a step change in agility and capability, ensuring exceptional handling in all riding scenarios. Each Tiger 900’s centre of gravity has been revised, moving 40mm forwards and 20mm down compared with the predecessor 800 to deliver an enhanced weight distribution between the front and rear wheel and better low speed balance in all riding scenarios, all while maintaining the Tigers’ excellent ground clearance.

Improved ergonomics – Narrower stand-over width improves rider comfort, particularly when stop-start riding. Handlebars are now 10mm closer to the rider giving a more comfortable upright riding position, and dedicated footrest positions for each Tiger 900 model are optimised for the style of riding.

Adjustable seat height – All models feature a built-in easily adjustable two-position seat height mechanism which enables the rider to change the seat height by 20mm to their preferred set-up. The Tiger 900, Tiger 900 GT and Tiger 900 GT Pro have an 810 – 830mm seat height, the Tiger 900 Rally and Tiger 900 Rally Pro have an 850 – 870mm seat height, and the Tiger 900 GT Low Ride Height version has a 760 – 780mm seat height.

Tiger 900 and Tiger 900 GT - The models have a tailored suspension set-up developed to deliver a new benchmark-setting ride for the entire middleweight adventure segment.

The 900 and GT models have Marzocchi 45mm upside-down cartridge front forks that deliver 180mm wheel travel. On the GT and GT Pro models, these have manually adjustable compression and rebound damping.

The Rear Suspension Unit delivers 170mm wheel travel, and is manually adjustable for preload and rebound damping on the GT model.

The top spec GT Pro RSU features a new electronically adjustable suspension set-up, developed in collaboration with Marzocchi.

Tiger 900 Rally - To reflect the advanced off-road performance of the Tiger 900 Rally range, the ultimate in suspension capability is delivered by a Showa suspension set-up.

Both Rally models have 45mm Showa upside down cartridge forks with manual adjustment of preload, rebound and compression damping, and 240mm wheel travel. On the rear there is a gas pressurised RSU, adjustable for preload and rebound damping, with 230mm rear wheel travel.

All the bikes in the new Tiger 900 line-up feature a category-leading brakes set-up with top spec road-going Brembo Stylema® brakes. These are Brembo’s highest performing, lightweight, compact, and carefully-sculpted calipers. The reduced volume around the pistons and brake pads reduces the internal space occupied by brake fluid to deliver a more immediate response, and the increased airflow around the brake pads help the calipers cool quicker for even better performance.

A host of technology innovations have been included on this new Tiger 900 range of motorcycles.

The mid- and top-spec Tiger 900 GT and Rally models feature new full-colour 7” TFT instruments which display comprehensive ride information, plus new optimised cornering ABS and traction control for a better ride feel. The range offers up to six riding modes to tailor your ride depending on your riding needs and core technology for all GT and Rally models is set at a high level, including all-LED lighting, heated grips, cruise control, handguards, and secure mobile phone storage with charging.

Top spec technology for the GT Pro and Rally Pro models includes the integrated My Triumph connectivity system with Bluetooth® module fitted as standard that enables phone call, music operation, turn-by-turn navigation and GoPro control via the switchcubes and displayed on the TFT instruments. There is also Triumph Shift Assist that allows up and down gear changes without the use of the clutch, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System for added rider safety and convenience. In addition, heated rider and pillion seats, and LED fog lights are fitted as standard.

Rumour: Tiger 900 to be launched in India by April 2020

http://overdrive.in/news-cars-auto/b...ndia-in-april/

The good news for the Indian customers who are eagerly waiting for the new-gen offering is that Triumph Motorcycles could be launching the 2020 Tiger range in India in April this year

[sukiwa]

Review of Tiger 900 GT Pro from MCN.

[CrAzY dRiVeR]

Launch postponed to May as per ACI - https://www.autocarindia.com/bike-ne...-in-may-416994

Will be launched as a CKD. However, there will be no base variant this time around.

Triumph will bring the Tiger 900 into India via the CKD route and the company hopes that it will be able to launch the bike next month. This is a slight delay over the original launch plan of April, due to the global pandemic. Things are still slightly uncertain at the moment, and Triumph is now targeting a May launch, barring any further delays.

The top-spec Rally Pro is likely to launch first, followed by the GT Pro and eventually, the Rally.

With the Tiger 800, the company found that demand for the base XR model was quite limited, so there are no plans to bring in the base Tiger 900 model as of now.

Do they have a plant where they will be re-assembling the bikes? Or is this part of the Bajaj- Triumph partnership thing?

It's the shame the base variant is not going to come in. I feel Triumph might be shooting themselves in the foot in this case, unless of course, they are still keeping the 800 series bikes to still sell, but I don't remember reading the BS6 readiness of those models either.

Anyways, Let's see how it unfolds.

Cheers

Wait, what?

They have their own assembly unit. Many of their bikes if not all are CKD.

800 series is finished globally.

Could be. Am sure few of their top range bikes like the rocket are CBU. But most of their volume sellers are CKD. I reckon they were one of the earliest to set up an assembly plant in India.

Some models was and are CBU, rest assembled here in Delhi. CBU also mostly came from Thailand and not UK.

The key for Tiger will be pricing - with AT moving in Big Daddy Multi & GS territory - if Tiger retains old pricing of ~15L on road - it will be a big hit.

Taking the old pricing and adding another one lakh for the additional improvements - still makes it a more costlier motorcycle than that.

Even back in 2018 when the outgoing version was launched, the range was well above 13 lakhs ex-showroom.

Tiger 800 XRx - INR 13.13 L
Tiger 800 XCx - INR 13.76 L
