Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

It is impressive how well the bike manages the balancing act between on-road and off-road, doing exactly what an adventure bike should be able to do or what you want to do with an adventure bike. And this with a level of maturity that is downright astonishing for a new model and shows that Triumph has done its homework and has further developed the already underestimated Tiger 800 in a sensible way. Even if some die-hard Tiger fans may miss the now less pronounced, typical whistling of the three-cylinder engine. I can only answer the question of whether the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is ready for the journey with a "when are we going to start again?"!

Three-cylinder engine full of character

significantly improved off-road capability

comfortable suspension elements

quickshifter with blipper as standard

lavish standard equipment, even heated seats for rider and pillion

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability

Handguards not very robust for off-road use

flood of switches on the left handlebar
