FOR MOST MOTORCYCLES, UPDATES are usually limited to aesthetics or, in some cases, ergonomics and electronics. Triumph have gone one step further by actually extracting more power from an engine we have appreciated since its launch in 2020. Here is what stood out for us after riding the latest Triumph Tiger 900 GT.
In some markets, those who want a Tiger for the road can choose between the GT and the GT Pro but in India, we get only the GT. What are we missing out on? Not much because most of the kit that is offered as standard in the Pro is available as an option in the GT. Electronic adjustability for preload at the rear and the customizable Rider mode are possibly the only things one may miss. This particular motorcycle we tested had some optional kit, including a quick-shifter and sump-guard. Some may opt for the centre-stand, too, for ease of maintenance.
Design seems to have been of least priority in this update because, save for a slight tweak to the panels surrounding the fuel-tank, the Tiger looks largely the same. The console has received a significant upgrade because they have borrowed the seven-inch screen from the Tiger 1200. In my opinion, it has a better layout overall. However, it takes an incredibly long time to come to life and the animation while navigating through the menus looks unbecoming of a motorcycle that costs this much.

Ducati Revamp Powerful Multistrada 14 S
At face value, it appears Ducati have only mildly tweaked the Multistrada V4 S for 2025, which is why we arrived in Perugia, Italy, a few hours north of Rome, expecting a couple of easy days on the classy adventure-tourer. However, it quickly became apparent that despite only mildly updating the Multi's familiar looks, beneath the bodywork lies a vast number of updates that Ducati hope will make the bestselling Multi (and best-selling Ducati globally) even more versatile than before
