Powered by a parallel three-cylinder engine synonymous with Triumph
The Tiger series features a triple engine with Triumph's unique T-plane crank. At lower rpms, the engine offers the handling and character of a twin engine, while at higher rpms it delivers the exhilarating performance of a triple engine. This unique design allows for smooth mid-range acceleration and precise torque delivery, giving the rider confidence and control in all riding conditions. The "Tiger 900" series is the benchmark in the middleweight adventure category: the 888cc triple engine delivers 108 PS of maximum power at 9500 rpm and 90 Nm of maximum torque at 6850 rpm. Its responsive power delivery, excellent fuel economy, and compliance with Euro 5+ emission regulations make it the ideal balance of performance and practicality for all situations, from long-distance touring to technical off-road riding.

The parallel three-cylinder 888cc engine mounted on the "Tiger 900" series produces maximum output of 79.5 kW (108 PS)/9500 rpm and maximum torque of 90 N-m at 6850 rpm.

The Tiger 1200 series is powered by a parallel three-cylinder 1160cc engine with a maximum output of 110.4 kW (150 PS) at 9000 rpm and maximum torque of 130 Nm at 7000 rpm.
The equipment around the vehicle body asserts the individuality of each model.
The Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200 are designed for strength, control, and durability. All models feature a cast aluminum, double-sided swingarm for stability and precision, a high-performance Brembo braking system for superior stopping power, and a damper-equipped handlebar mounting system for improved comfort on long rides.
