Triumph Motorcycles has launched the new generation model of its flagship adventure motorcycle – the Triumph Tiger 1200 – in India today. The motorcycle is a huge leap forward in almost every aspect, being lighter, more powerful, and more feature populated than before. The new model gets a new 1160 cc in-line-three engine with a T-plane crank at its core, which puts out 147 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 130 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. The bike is also a whopping 25 kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks to the use of lighter components and a new lightweight frame with a bolt-on aluminium subframe. The motorcycle is also completely redesigned, and gets a sleeker, sharper design, making it appear agile and lightweight. Here’s a look at the variants on offer:
Tiger 1200 GT Pro ( ₹ 19.19 Lakh Ex-showroom)
Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro
Triumph will be offering its Tiger 1200 in 4 variants in India and they are divided in 2 ranges, the GT and Rally, and have been further split in 2 variants, Pro and Explorer. The GT range is the more road biased of the two, and the GT Pro is the lighter avatar in the range. All the variants get semi-active suspension by Showa, with the GT getting 200 mm travel at both the ends. The GT variants have a 19-inch front alloy wheel paired with an 18-inch wheel at the rear. The GT Pro also gets a 20-litre fuel tank which offers a range of up to 400 km on a full tank of fuel. The variant also gets adjustable seat height between 850 mm to 870 mm, but heated rider and pillion seats are an optional extra. The Pro variants come loaded with tech, and get keyless ride, cruise control, heated grips, 7-inch display with My Triumph connectivity system, multiple riding modes, adaptive cornering lights and auxiliary lights. The bike also has cornering ABS and cornering traction control standard across variants.
Tiger 1200 GT Explorer ( ₹ 20.69 Lakh Ex-showroom)
Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer
The Tiger 1200 GT Explorer is the road touring biased variant of the lot. While carrying over all the features from the GT Pro, the Explorer gets a much larger fuel tank at a capacity of 30-litres, which offers a range of up to 600 km, meaning you’ll have to make fewer stops on your cross-country road trip. To aid these highway trips further, the explorer variants also get radar powered blind spot detection system, a feature missing on the pro models, and also gets an engine guard for crash protection. The variant also gets heated rider and pillion seats and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) as standard, which are optional extras on the pro. Both the variants get Metzeler Tourance tyres on the alloy wheels.
Tiger 1200 Rally Pro ( ₹ 20.19 Lakh, Ex-showroom)
Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro
As the name suggests, the Rally variants are the more off-road biased variants of the Tiger 1200 range. Visually, the first noticeable difference is the larger spoked wheel up front, as the front wheel size goes up to 21-inches on the Rally variants, while having 18-inchers on the back. The spoked wheels are also designed to house tubeless tyres, and the Rally variants get Metzeler Karoo tyres, which are more off-road focused. The seat height is also higher in the Rally variants, and is adjustable between 875 mm to 895 mm. While retaining all the tech from the GT variants, the Rally variants also get an additional Off-Road Pro riding mode, which is missing on the GTs. The Rally Pro gets the smaller 20-litre fuel tank, making it the most ideal variant of the lot for hardcore off-roading.
Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer ( ₹ 21.69 Lakh Ex-showroom)
Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer
The Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer is the top-of-the-line variant in Triumph’s adventure tourer range. It gets all of the bells and whistles from the other variants, and then a few more. Just like the GT Explorer, the Rally Explorer gets tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), radar powered blind spot detection system, and heated rider and pillion seats as standard, apart from all the other clever tech like Off-Road Pro riding mode and adaptive headlamps. The larger 30-litre fuel tank gives this bike a lot of heft, which makes it less ideal for off-roading than the Rally Pro, and will be ideally suited for a mix of on-off road use. The bike also gets extended guards, which protect not only the engine but also the tank, a feature missing from other variants. The Rally variants also get an Aluminium sump guard to protect the motorcycle better when going off-road, and a longer 220 mm suspension travel on both ends.
