The all-new Triumph Tiger 900 has been
teased. The feature-laden adventure motorcycle will be launched in India soon.
As per the earlier reports, the Triumph Tiger 900 was scheduled to be launched
in India in April. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic may have affected the
British company’s plans. Last month, the Tiger 900 was listed on the brand’s
official Indian website and now its teaser has been released on social media
channels. These facts indicate that the launch of the Tiger 900 in our country
is getting closer.
Revealed in December last year, the Tiger
900 has two genres, road-biased GT line and off-road focussed Rally range. The
GT line has 3 models - Tiger 900 GT, Tiger 900 GT Low and Tiger 900 GT Pro. The
Rally range has 2 models including - 900 Rally and 900 Rally Pro. There’s also
a Tiger 900 variant which isn’t a part of either of the two genres and is the
most affordable model in the entire range. In total, the Triumph Tiger 900 has
a total of 6 variants. However, at the moment it is unclear as to which ones
would be launched in India.
Powering the new Triumph Tiger 900 range
is an 888 cc in-line 3-cylinder engine. The liquid-cooled mill complies with
the Bharat Stage 6 emission standards. It produces 95 PS of maximum power and
87 Nm of peak torque. The transmission here is a 6-speed unit. The powerplant
has a firing order of 1-3-2 which is responsible for a unique exhaust note.
Triumph has also added a new T-plane triple crankshaft and other lightweight
parts and components to reduce the weight of the engine by a significant 2.5
kg.
