Triumph Tiger 900 GT specifications

Triumph · Adventure

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT is Triumph's road-biased 888cc adventure bike, a liquid-cooled inline three rated at 106.5 bhp and 66.4 lb-ft with a six-speed gearbox and an O-ring chain. The seat is adjustable and the tank is large for the class, and Triumph prices it at $15,195.

What testers say

Visordown says a revised seat, flatter and more comfortable, features across the 2024 Tiger 900 range, that the height stays a tolerable 820 mm with another 20 mm available for tall riders, and that the higher versions sit taller than the GT Pro so shorter riders should be wary where they stop even on the lowest setting of 860 mm. The write-up also says more power and torque is welcome.

But current owners would not have grumbled had the peak numbers stayed. Ride Adventures notes that, along with the boost in power, Triumph's engine refinements pushed the major service interval out to 18,000 miles, which helps the bike stay competitive on running costs.

Tiger 900 against its rivals.

At $15,195 the Tiger 900 costs $800 more than BMW's F 900 GS at $14,395, $4,200 more than the F 800 GS at $10,995 and $1,800 less than Ducati's DesertX V2 at $16,995. It weighs 483 lb wet, close to the BMW's 482 lb road-ready and the Ducati's 461 lb without fuel. The Triumph has the adjustable seat, the Brembo Stylema front brakes and the 18,000-mile service interval.

Numbers that matter for a tall adventure bike

The Tiger 900 GT has a 61.26 in wheelbase and 5.28 gal of fuel, 1.5 gal more than BMW's F 900 GS. So it has a long range for its class. Its 180 mm front and 170 mm rear travel are 7.1 in and 6.7 in, a little less than the F 900 GS's 9.05 in front, which fits its road-biased brief.

The two seat positions, 32.23 in and 33.07 in, are set by a simple adjustment, and the tall 820 to 860 mm figures Visordown mentions apply to other models in the range. The 483 lb wet weight includes fuel.

Running costs and service

The 18,000-mile major service interval that Ride Adventures reports is longer than many rivals'. A rider who covers 6,000 miles a year would reach it after three years, which lowers the cost of ownership compared with bikes that need a valve check at 12,000 miles. The O-ring chain still needs regular lubrication and adjustment, so budget for that.

Triumph lists a Marzocchi 45 mm upside-down fork with manual rebound and compression adjustment and 180 mm (7.1 in) of travel, a Marzocchi rear unit with 170 mm (6.7 in), twin 320 mm floating front discs with Brembo Stylema four-piston Monobloc calipers, and a single 255 mm rear disc.

Geometry is a 61.26 in wheelbase, 24.6 degrees of rake and 4.04 in of trail, with 108 PS at 9,500 rpm and 66.4 lb-ft at 6,850 rpm.
