Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

The new generation 900 Tiger - the Rally Pro model with impressive capabilities on and off the road. While it scores points on the road thanks to its high seating position and comfortable ergonomics, it is very stable and confidence-inspiring off-road. Thanks to its smooth throttle response and fine mechanical setup, it can turn into corners very precisely.

Very good basic stability off-road

Pleasant handlebar for comfortable standing on the bike

High seating position for long rides with comfortable knee position

Engine protection and lower crash bars included as standard

Very smooth throttle response

Good smoothness thanks to handlebar damping

Easily accessible bike

Good compromise between smoothness and sportiness

ABS of the rear brake is completely switched off in offroad mode, no offroad ABS available

Strongly road-orientated standard tyres on the Rally Pro

Adventure footrests not included as standard

Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2016

The segment of touring enduros has become much softer in terms of engines - in addition to the typical two-cylinder engines, there are also four-cylinder engines in R- and V-shape and Triumph now has to share the unique selling point of the in-line three-cylinder engine with two other manufacturers (MV Agusta Turismo Veloce and Yamaha Tracer 900). On the Tiger Explorer XRt, the large three-cylinder engine with 1215 cubic capacity is very powerful, yet consistently refined. The sound already conveys that something different is coming along and with 140 hp, the big Tiger is by no means underpowered. And thanks to the good responsiveness, very tight bends are no problem despite the impressive weight. In terms of comfort, the excellently equipped XRt version cannot be reproached; even an electrically height-adjustable windshield is on board.

Three-cylinder engine with plenty of punch
