The Triumph Tiger has been a favorite bike of mine since the day I threw a leg over the Gen 1 model back in 2012. Since its debut the folks at Triumph have continually made updates to the bike, most recently the 2018 model that we rode in the beautiful backdrop of the Moroccan landscapes. The 2018 model added some long-awaited updates in the suspension department as well as aesthetics like the TFT display and streamlined bodywork.
Enter the Year of the Tiger 900 (even though it’s the Year of the Rat). The 2020 model is all-new, not a rebadged Tiger 800. Visually the bike looks similar to the outgoing 800 model. For 2020, Triumph simplified the line-up, getting rid of all those Xes. Now the line-up consists of the Tiger 900, GT, GT Pro for the adventure touring crowd, and the Rally and Rally Pro models which are designed for riders who want to get a little more off-pavement.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS
It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
