Triumph Tiger 1200

The looks and design of the Triumph Tiger 1200 are similar to the Tiger 900 sibling adventure-tourer bike, but, it does come with a distinguished body design with a more hardcore off-road setup for enhanced off-road capabilities. While the overall body is slim and tidy, the sleek & stretched single LED headlight is the main design attraction of the front. The instrument cluster is a 7-inch all-digital unit & it displays the various rider assist aids such as Navigation, calls & message alerts, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, etc. The Triumph Tiger 1200 is also equipped with a USB charger. The split-wide seat is comfortable to sit and ride. The rear also embeds the use of a single taillight in a typical adventure bike design layout. The alloy wheels are used for the GT Pro variants while the Rally variants come equipped with tubeless spoked wheels. Triumph offers the new Tiger 1200 in a total of 4 variants - GT Pro, GT Explorer, Rally Pro, & Rally Explorer.

The dimensions of the Triumph Tiger 1200 are sleek and bold as per the adventure cum tourer motorcycle segment standards. The slim & sculpted fuel tank design with the small overall length helps the Triumph Tiger 1200 to become an easy handler over the rough roads and in slush too. The more turning radius and the placement of the handlebar make using the Triumph Tiger 1200 a bit hesitant as compared to the rivals in the segment. This is due to the naked body style characteristic that is based on the Triumph Tiger 1200.
