2024 Triumph Tiger 900

For 2024, Triumph updated its popular Tiger 900 adventure bike, boosting power by 13 percent compared to the previous model, shaving weight a bit, updating tech, and streamlining the model range. Two road-oriented models, the GT and up-spec GT Pro model, are joined by the Rally Pro, a 21-inch front-equipped, long-travel off-roader aimed squarely at the toughest competition. It brings Brembo Stylema calipers, horizon-aiming ergos and wind protection, IMU-managed ride modes, and Triumph fit and finish to a crowded party.

The Tiger 900 range distinguishes itself with its 888cc T-plane triple, producing a claimed 106.5 hp at 9,500 rpm and 66.4 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,850 rpm. Highlighting changes to the engine are a new cylinder head with larger intake ports and revised exhaust ports, higher-lift cams, 15mm-longer intake trumpets, new pistons, and a freer-flowing exhaust. The compression ratio increased from 11.3:1 to 13.0:1. Although the GT models are aimed at the street, our testers actually preferred the road manners of the Rally Pro. So if its 1.7-inch-taller seat height and higher price aren’t prohibitive for you, it may be the middleweight ADV you’ve been looking for.

The 2024 Tiger 900 GT starts at $14,995 and the GT Pro at $16,895. Both use Marzocchi suspension components, but the GT Pro uses an electronically adjustable (for preload and rebound) shock. The Rally Pro ($17,395) swaps 19/17 cast wheels for 21/17 spoked wheels; it also swaps the Marzocchi suspension for longer-travel, manually adjustable units from Showa. The GT has four ride modes, while the GT Pro has five, and the Rally Pro six; ABS can be switched off on the Rally Pro for off-road use.
