9 The Tiger 900 Produces More Power Than Before

It Makes More Power Than The Honda Africa Twin

The 2024 Tiger 900 Rally Pro is equipped with a modern 888cc triple-cylinder engine underneath the surface. The mill now features a 15 mm longer intake and new camshafts, intake ports, and pistons. This increases the output from 93 horsepower and 64 pound-feet to an impressive 106.5 horsepower and 66.4 pound-feet thanks to the modified exhaust and catalytic converter.

Even though the generous amount of torque is more apparent on dirt, it distributes more smoothly than it did on its predecessor. With these figures, the Tiger 900 is able to outperform its competitors and even outshine them. Triumph boasts a nine percent improvement in emissions and fuel economy despite its power bump. A show of how much the British brand has perfected its inline tripe engines over the years.

While Being Accessible To All Kinds Of Riders

The Showa shock features a complete range of manual adjustments and 9.1 inches of travel, while the dirt-ready Rally Pro’s fully adjustable Showa fork has 9.4 inches of travel. The Rally Pro’s seat height may be raised to 34.6 inches from its starting point of 33.9 inches. Additionally, it may be equipped with an auxiliary seat that lowers heights by 0.8 inches.

Apart from having longer limbs, the Rally Pro also has a shock with compression adjustment and an Off-Road Pro riding mode that turns off ABS and traction control on both ends for maximum control over the rider. To improve saddle ergonomics, Triumph has also moved the handlebar 0.6 inches closer to the rider.

7 Safety Is A Key Component Of The Tiger 900 Rally Pro

With A New “Emergency Declaration Warning” Feature

With its IMU enabling cornering ABS and cornering traction control, the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro offers confidence while approaching bends, picking up gears, and changing directions. Its superb Brembo Stylema calipers, smooth bidirectional fast shifter, and slip-assist clutch round out the package.

The seven-inch TFT screen featuring smartphone connection effectively shows the five riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road, and Rider). The “Emergency Declaration Warning” is another new feature. It warns oncoming riders and cars of possible hazards by flashing the rear turn signals and taillight when the bike decelerates quickly.

Notable Safety Features

• Optimized cornering ABS and traction control with IMU
• Brembo Stylema Monobloc brakes
• Bidirectional fast shifter
• Slip-assist clutch
• “Emergency Declaration Warning” system

6 It Screams Off-Road Excellence

On Par With KTMs And BMWs

Even while the extended travel on the Showa forks is a bit extreme, the chassis and suspension setup of the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is incredibly effective and muted, making both on- and off-road riding an absolute delight. You can explore areas on this midsize adventure tourer that you would not have thought feasible owing to its long-travel suspension and increased ground clearance.

Further, substantial mileage is made simple on the road by the Rally’s roomy and comfortable riding stance, and it also feels more at ease off-road when standing owing to its handlebar relocation. In the dirt, extra traction is always appreciated, so we are happy to see Michelin Anakee Wild 50/50 on/off-road tires.

5 It Looks And Feels Premium

As A Triumph Rightfully Should

Triumph’s Tiger 900 Rally Pro is a well-built motorcycle with premium-quality finishing and components that appear and feel great. It also seems even more luxurious thanks to the glossy Intense Orange color scheme over a subdued yet glossy Ash Grey color scheme. It is a very well-made, fashionable, and comfortable adventure tourer that gives the adventure bike genre a sleeker flair.

Both the detachable rear passenger pegs and the removable rear subframe are carried over from the previous generation. But the street-biased 24.4-degree rake angle of the off-road-focused Tiger is three degrees steeper than that of nearly every other adventure motorcycle or dirt bike available. So that is something you should consider.

Notable Design Features

• All-LED lighting, including signature DRL headlight and compact taillight
• Lightweight modular frame
• Adjustable screen and 20mm adjustable seat height

4 Offers Consistent Ride Quality And Handling

For Both On And Off-Road

The slip-assist clutch disengages the clutch slightly during deceleration to keep the bike from stalling while applying severe rear brakes. The engine management system permits lenient timing when engaging the clutch amid rear wheel lockup since it wants to keep the Tiger going even at low engine RPM.

Off-road, the Tiger’s ease of use and maneuverability are increased by its confidence and reliable performance. While on the tarmac, during the period of strong acceleration, the chassis and suspension setup perform a decent job of providing support without exhibiting too much long-travel wallowing. Overall, it is impressive how the Rally Pro handles, even with all the additional ground clearance and travel.

3 The Tiger 900 Rally Pro Offers All-Day Riding Comfort

Making It An Able Tourer

With its broad handlebars, low footpegs, and additional cushioning from the seat, the bike is roomy and comfortable even after a long day spent in (and above) the saddle. In addition to having extra cushioning, the seat is flatter, which gives you more room, and it can easily support a full day of riding without being too sagging.

The windscreen on tall adventure motorcycles is often a bit of a pain in terms of ventilation. The Tiger 900’s windscreen is large and should provide adequate protection with little to no wind buffeting. Its one-handed adjustability, which allows for a discernible change from the lowest position to the highest setting, is another helpful feature.

2 Reliability Is Tiger 900 Rally Pro’s Middle Name

Increase In Service Intervals And Decrease in Costs

Regarding reliability, the prior iteration of the Tiger 900 received favorable feedback and was shown to be a reasonably dependable machine. Triumph has been eager to fix a few flaws, though, most of which stemmed from the earlier generation.

There is an increase in valve clearing intervals to 18,000 miles and a 27% decrease in servicing expenses, which have been since long, consistent complaints from present owners. So it is good to see Triumph listening to its customers and providing a machine that stands up to its billing.

Service And Warranty

1 It Offers Good Value For Your Money

Although There Are Formidable Competitors

Riders seeking a true-blue ADV can pick up the Rally Pro at $17,395 MSRP. A wholehearted recommendation of the Triumph Tiger 900 is only limited by the abundance of attractive competitors in the class. These days, middleweight adventure bike buyers have an abundance of options.

In addition to the middleweight KTMs and Huskys, there is the Desert-X from Ducati, the V-Strom 1050 from Suzuki, the friendly Africa Twin from Honda, and the brand-new Transalp. Yamaha’s freshly enhanced Tenere 700 is hard to match in terms of value, and BMW will soon offer further competition with its revised F 900 GS.
