THE TIGER RALLY IS ONLY available as a high-spec Pro version. All the three models mentioned in the intro above benefit from the performance improvements and share the same peak power and torque.
Peak power has increased significantly for 2024, a jump from 95 hp to 108 hp, along with a small boost in torque. Triumph have also improved the 900's technology package, with improved rider aids and a new seven-inch TFT display with connectivity. However, will more performance, a higher spec, and fresh looks be enough to keep the Tiger 900 in front of the ever-improving competition?
What Triumph have done deserves applause. The easiest way to increase power and performance is to add cubic capacity, often at the cost of added weight and reduced fuel consumption, but they have kept the Tiger's capacity at 888 cc, meaning no weight penalty, boosted engine performance and improved fuel economy.
Central to the power hike are new pistons and a higher compression ratio, up to 13.0:1 from 12.27.1. There is an all-new cylinder-head, larger intake and exhaust ports, new camshafts, and a new exhaust system that delivers an even more charismatic growl from the T-Plane triple. Peak power now arrives higher up the rev-range, at 9,500 rpm rather than at 8,750 rpm, while torque peaks slightly lower in the rev-range, at 6,850 rpm instead of at 7.250 rpm. Meanwhile, Triumph claim that the new engine offers a nine per cent reduction in fuel consumption, giving a quoted tank range of 425 km.
We rode both the GT Pro and Rally Pro on test in Spain and while their overall focus differs somewhat, both machines have the same quoted power and torque and come with the Shift Assist quick-shifter as standard which, incidentally, is a joy to use.
