Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2021

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2021

Satisfaction quickly spreads in the saddle of the Tiger. The machine offers an enormously wide range of uses and an over-complete set of features for this class. A really good touring enduro! However, the long suspension travel is a bit of a downfall for sporty riding. At the end of the day, however, this is the only compromise of this otherwise thoroughly successful machine.

Three-cylinder engine full of character

practical off-road performance

comfortable suspension elements

quickshifter with blipper as standard

generous standard equipment, even heated seats for rider and pillion

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability.

Handguards for off-road use not very robust

flood of switches on the left handlebar

overall large and ponderous appearance

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

The Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro is a true touring enduro and has a lot to offer. A comfortable, relaxed riding position, good wind protection, ample equipment and real travel suitability. Unlike the competition in the upper class of adventure bikes, however, it unfortunately lacks that certain "wow factor", that unique selling point that BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada V4 or KTM Super Adventure can boast. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro has no remarkable smoothness, no extremely agile handling or brute engine, but it is well-balanced. However, there is still room for improvement in some areas, especially in the smoothness in the lower rev range. However, the basis is good and well-balanced, and the fine-tuning will hopefully come in the following model years.

Pleasant, relaxed ergonomics

Good wind protection

State-of-the-art electronics

Extensive equipment

Very powerful brakes

Finely responsive, semi-active chassis

Ok range

Quick-shifting quickshifter

Engine does not run quite cleanly below 3000 revs

Large TFT display could be better used

Load change reactions at low revs

Very high for short-legged pilots
