IN STORE NOW - 148 HP AND BRISTLING WITH TECHNOLOGY
Heavyweight adventure bikes are built to eat up miles and tackle trails. The balancing
the demands of tarmac and terrain is a subtle art. Most manufacturers favor one side of
the on-/off-road equation. Instead of splitting the difference, though, the 2023 Triumph
Tiger 1200 splits the field, catering to long-haul road trippers with the GT series and
intrepid explorers with the Rally variants.
The thoroughly updated Tiger 1200 didn't just assume a split identity, it also went on a
crash diet, shedding 55 pounds. To pack on extra muscle, Triumph repurposed the 1,160cc
inline-Triple from the 2022 Speed Triple RS to pump out 148 horsepower and 96 lb-ft of
torque. Surround that punchy powerplant with a lightweight trellis frame, a cast-aluminum
Tri-Link swingarm with shaft final drive, and Showa semi-active suspension, and you end up
with one capable Tiger with more fuel capacity and other features for long-haul travel.
At the heart of the Tiger 1200 is Triumphs liquid-cooled, 12-valve, 1,160cc inline-Triple engine.
The mighty mill shares the same bore, stroke, and compression ratio as the Speed Triple
1200 RS, but a 270-degree crank, a 1-3-2 piston firing order, and shaft final drive endow the
Tiger with a personality all its own. Those preparations outfit the Tiger 1200 for life on the open
road and off the beaten path.
