As if our favorite Hinckley-based bike team hasn’t already written themselves in our good books for the 2021 debut of their Tiger Sport 660, Triumph’s reduced Tiger 900 GT, GT Pro, and Rally Pro siblings now sport better punt stats and a nice tweak in the fuel efficiency department… and other areas.
Let’s dive in and see what Bloor Holdings’ child gave us for 2024, yeah?
Per Triumph’s recent press release, the Tiger 900 platform now touts +13% more performance, with the usual 888cc, inline-three heart now rendering 105hp @ 9,500rpm, with yank measured at 66ft-lb (90Nm) of torque @ 6,850rpm. As for the fuel system (Multipoint sequential EFI with electronic throttle control), we’re told riders will be able to save up to 9% more fuel on their scoot through the hills – a happy thing, given today’s gas prices.
Stoppage is handled in the form of twin floating discs matched to Brembo Stylema 4-piston Monobloc calipers at the front and a single disc at the rear showing off a single-piston sliding caliper.
The whole ensemble means linked brakes – not everybody’s cup of tea, though we hear from Triumph’s Chief Engineer via Troy Siahaan (Motorcycle.com) that “a lot of care was taken when developing the braking maps to ensure a natural brake feel.”
Complementing the brakes is a deceleration warning system; this handy bit of tech will engage hazards when braking hard (and disengage once the bike relaxes).
Other perks to add to this bike include a damped handlebar mounting system, as well as a very nice 7” TFT screen and a bigger saddle with so much adjustability that the ~20mm promised is doubled when using the accessory heated low rider seat (a little over an inch and a half of drop, all-told).
Full LEDs and new bodywork join fresh livery and a list of over 50 accessories on top of the four tailored accessory packs: Performance, Protection, Trekker and Expedition.
Here’s a further list of specifications that have remained the same through the Triumph Tiger 900 family:
- Optimised cornering ABS and traction control with IMU
- Up to six riding modes including Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road
- Rider Configurable for the GT Pro and Rally Pro

- The GT Pro features Marzocchi 45mm USD fully adjustable cartridge forks, rear suspension unit with electronically adjustable preload and rebound damping (180mm fork travel and 170mm rear wheel travel)
- The Rally Pro benefits from Showa 45mm USD adjustable cartridge forks with manual preload, rebound, and compression damping and a rear suspension unit with fully adjustable manual preload and rebound damping (240mm fork travel, and 230mm rear wheel travel)

Of course, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer is proud of the company’s results with their refreshed Tiger 900 rangs:
The Tiger 900 already has an excellent reputation as an award-winner and rally competitor, enjoying success against production motorcycles as well as purpose-built off-road machines… We were focused on raising the game in the middleweight category all over again. As a result, we’ve delivered a significant step-up, with more performance, more capability, more all-day comfort, and an aggressive style and poise.”
– Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer (CPO), Triumph Motorcycles
