2020 Triumph Tiger 900 / GT / Rally | First Look Review
For 2020 Triumph has thoroughly updated its middleweight adventure platform, now called the Tiger 900, with a larger engine, a new chassis, new technology, new styling and more. The lineup includes five models; shown on the left is the Tiger 900 GT Pro and on the right is the Tiger 900 Rally Pro.
For the 2011 model year, Triumph launched two all-new models ? the Tiger 800 and more off-road-oriented Tiger 800 XC, both powered by a 799cc in-line triple ? in what was then a much smaller and less competitive middleweight adventure bike segment, with competition coming primarily from BMW?s F 650 GS and F 800 GS.
The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 platform is powered by a larger 888cc in-line triple that makes more power and torque than its 799cc predecessor.
Adventure bikes have been a rare bright spot of growth in
what has been a stagnant decade in terms of motorcycle sales since the Great
Recession. And where there?s growth, competition flows in like the tide in the
hopes of raising more boats. We?ve seen a proliferation of new models and new
technology in the segment, with adventure bikes all but displacing traditional
sport- touring motorcycles and some offering nearly superbike levels of power
and specification.
