Triumph Motorcycles announces new features and improvements for the Tiger 1200 2024 models, resulting in an even more advanced and refined range. The updates include additional improvements to the engine, increased comfort and ergonomics, increased ground clearance in corners, further reduction in seat height thanks to active preload reduction, and new colors.
The Triumph’s 1,160 cc three-cylinder engine now offers an even more refined driving experience and superior low-speed control while maintaining the exciting and unmistakable character of the T-Plane engine configuration.
The changes made by the Triumph engineering team to the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balance shaft to increase the engine’s inertia, along with certain engine calibration adjustments, result in a smoother and more precise torque delivery at low revs. Riders will experience a smoother feeling when accelerating or decelerating, especially at low speeds. The updated clutch design will also allow for a smoother feel, especially when shifting into first gear.
Triumph has also improved the comfort of the Tiger 1200 for riders covering long distances. The engine itself is now even smoother and refined, thanks to a revised engine balancing strategy that enhances comfort at all major rider contact points.
The handlebar and anti-vibration towers, which had a great result in the Explorer models, have now been introduced in the GT Pro and Rally Pro models, as well as to provide a smoother ride with increased visibility in the mirrors.
The rider’s seat has been redesigned with a flatter profile, providing more space for the rider and helping to reduce fatigue on longer trips. The low seat, available as an accessory, which lowers the seat position by 20 mm, to 830 mm in the GT models and 855 mm in the Rally models, has also been redesigned to be significantly more comfortable. In addition, a longer clutch lever has been incorporated, offering greater clearance for the rider’s fingers and increasing comfort, especially on longer trips.
In the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer models, Triumph has also increased the ground clearance in curves by raising the position of the footrests and repositioning them closer to the motorcycle’s axis. Meanwhile, the new electronic height adjustment feature, launched in August 2023 and activated by pressing the ‘Home’ button on the right handlebar for one second, provides greater confidence to the rider by reducing the preload on the rear suspension when the Tiger 1200 slows down to a stop, lowering the height of the rear seat by up to 20 mm to facilitate better foot support on the ground.
The 2024 Tiger 1200 family now consists of four variants, with new colors: the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer, designed specifically for road adventures, are now available in an attractive Carnival Red, in addition to the previous Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black color schemes; while the Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Explorer, perfect for off-road adventures, will be available in the new Matt Sandstorm and Jet Black color schemes, joining the popular Matt Khaki.
The first units of the Tiger 1200 for 2024 will arrive in the Portuguese market in the second half of March 2024, and orders can already be placed through the official Triumph dealer network.
