Triumph recently updated its Tiger 1200 models. Like the smaller Tiger 900 siblings, there will be two model ranges — the Tiger 1200 GT models and the Tiger 1200 Rally models — as part of the 2022 Triumph motorcycle portfolio. The Tiger 1200 GT is available in three variants — the base GT, a mid-level GT Pro, and a range-topping GT Explorer version.

The British manufacturer has made some rather significant updates to its flagship adventure motorcycle for 2022. The bikes are powered by an updated 1,160cc three-cylinder engine that produces 147 hp and 95 lb-ft of torque. The engine includes a new T-plane firing order for better low down tractability and responsiveness and a more engaging mid-range and top-end.

The Tiger 1200 G models feature an all-new chassis and redesigned swingarm lighter than before. Electronically-controlled Showa semi-active hardware handles suspension, allowing riders to adjust damping and electronically set spring preload. The bikes feature a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup with Metzeler Tourance tires.

While all three variants have pretty impressive features, the base GT model misses some tech, like lean-sensitive cornering lights, a bidirectional quickshifter, hill hold, cruise control, and heated grips. It also gets only three riding modes — Rain, Road, and Sport — while the GT Pro and GT Explorer offer five — Road, Rain, Sport, Rider-configurable, and Off-Road.

The Tiger 1200 GT Explorer also gets a larger fuel tank (7.92 US gal compared to the GT Pro’s 5.28 US gal unit), a tire pressure monitoring system, and heated rider and pillion seats. It also features a rear-facing radar system that offers a blind spot and lane change warning system.

The 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 GT starts at $19,100 USD / $22,300 CAD.

2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Features

The unique, lightweight, new 1160cc T-Plane triple engine has been optimized for capability, character and performance.

The first task was to significantly reduce weight without sacrificing the Tigers’ planted feel and well-earned reputation for comfort.

Each Tiger 1200 has been designed to feel as good on the last mile of your adventure as it did on the first.

Exploring the unknown is what adventure riders dream about. The adrenaline of discovery, the rush of riding in new landscapes.

The latest technology has been incorporated seamlessly into the new Tiger line-up to help you ride further, for longer, more safely and in total comfort.

The Tiger 1200’s rugged good looks, poise and attitude is so much more than the result of an exercise in aesthetics.
