Triumph Tiger 900 TIGER 900 GT PRO

Description

Registered July 2021 on a 21 plate and now with just 13,800 miles. Presented in Red.

The GT Pro is arguably the pick of the bunch for riders who will never venture off tarmac. Revised engine characteristics and extra power make it more engaging and better for pillions than the old bike, and the chassis dynamics are better all round, but maybe the most impressive thing is that, despite sharing no components with the outgoing 800, it still feels like a mid-range Tiger, just a better mid-range Tiger.

A glance suggests that not much has changed with the chassis – the main section is still a tubular steel trellis, but the rear subframe is now removeable and made of aluminium. A crash damaged subframe will no longer write off the bike.

The new frame and new fuel tank have also allowed the bike a narrower waist and added an extra litre to the fuel capacity. On the GT, the two position seat offers 810 or 830mm seat heights, but because its narrower at the front, the standover stance is improved to make life easier for shorter riders. And if you really need it there is a low seat option too (760-780mm).

The really clever part of the new engine is the crankshaft. Every previous Triumph triple, right back to the pre-Hinckley Trident in 1968, has featured a 120° crank layout. The new Triumph Tiger 900 has a 90°-90°-180° arrangement of the crankpins that Triumph are calling a T plane crank. This allows a firing order that feels and delivers power more like a twin.

Cylinders one and three fire close together, then a pause then the second cylinder, then a pause, then repeat. The theory is that this makes the engine more tractable at low speed, improving agility. It sounds different too.

This particular Triumph Tiger 900 GT PRO is in excellent condition and benefits from being fitted with: PYRAMID FRONT FENDER EXTENDER / CENTRE STAND / TRIUMPH HEATED GRIPS / QUICKSHIFTER / GIVI TREKKER TOP BOX BASE PLATE.
