Our take on the Tiger 1200

The 1160cc T-plane triple makes 150 hp and 95 lb-ft of strong, responsive performance, and its lightweight chassis keeps it controlled and comfortable through a long day off the map.

The Desert Edition comes in Satin Granite or Crystal White with a desert-inspired design, and it is fully equipped.

The seat is 34.1 inches and the bike weighs 553 lb dry. Triumph Shift Assist makes every gear change quick and clean, and the semi-active Showa suspension keeps it settled on rough ground and smooth highway alike.

What the reviewers say

Which Tiger 1200 is right for you?

Two versions. Every Tiger 1200 has the same 1160cc triple: 150 hp and 95 lb-ft, a 5.3-gallon tank, Brembo Stylema brakes with cornering ABS, and service every 10,000 miles.

More on these two

Which one fits your riding

The GT Pro Alpine Edition: Looking for a Tiger 1200 GT? For 2026 it's the GT Pro Alpine Edition, built on the road-focused GT Pro. It's a big, fast tourer: the triple punches hard low down and keeps pulling at the top, the semi-active suspension smooths out bad roads, and heated seats and blind spot radar make the long days easy.

The Rally Pro Desert Edition: Looking for a Tiger 1200 Rally? For 2026 it's the Rally Pro Desert Edition, built on the Rally Pro. It's the big Tiger for riders who stand up on the pegs. Reviewers rate its standing position as one of the best out there, and found it brakes and turns with more precision than you'd expect from a 21-inch front wheel and long forks.
