So today, Trump posted another teaser for that imminent Triumph Tiger 1200 update. So first, a quick refresher on the crank. For anyone who’s not familiar, a triple-cylinder engine has, of course, three cylinders, and basically. All triples have the pistons attached to the crankshaft every 120 degrees. That even spacing means that they fire even intervals giving the rider a very smooth feel.
So like pretty much every other triple, the tiger 800 had this sort of crank. And for many folks, that was one of its significant strengths.It has a bit of a very top feel that gives you the sensation that you’re right in a jacked-up Street Triple. And I mean that in very much a good way.
It’s also great for cruising on the motorway at a constant speed where of course, excessive vibes can be annoying. Still, if you look at the competition like the Africa Twin BMWs fa 50 gs the KTM 790 or now 890 Adventure, they’re firstly all twins. But secondly, they’re all currently using a 270-degree crank which is uneven to mimic the feel and character of a V twin. Triumph Tiger

So not only do these twins generally make more torque lower down, but it’s the firing intervals that give you more of a talky sensation, and this can matter when you’re operating lower in the rev range.You’re more likely to be keeping the revs down work in the clutch and then using that bottom end when you need a bit of drive.
They essentially took the crank. They reworked the intervals into a T shape hence the T plane name, and that means that two cylinders are far closer together. As you can imagine, this makes it feel a bit more like a twin and a little less like a conventional triple.It is great. I went on the launch in Morocco, and it certainly felt good and punchy in the lower revs, be that on the road or off the top figures are improved and listened to that new sound.
It also does have more of that torquey sensation, and it just feels less like it’s going to stall. It is a trade-off you see a go to spend a bit more time with the tiger 900 this year after being born in a press bike for a couple of weeks, and I had the Tiger 850 sport after that. Triumph Tiger,
And when you get time to put plenty of marzipan
you start to notice a bit more in terms of vibrations at the top end is not huge and still better than the competition’s big twins. Honestly is not a deal-breaker for me. I’d still say that the tiger 900 is a far superior bike to the already great Tiger 800. Now I’d say that the tiger 900 is still the bike to go for if you’re looking for a proper good all-rounder, a bit of off-road some quick weekend right in commuting on the motorway, it can certainly do it all pretty well.
So I’d say it’s a bit of a surprise today to find out that in the new Tiger 1200. Indeed, of the two, it is the one that’s more focused on road riding and distance. The offroad biased XC model is mainly for aesthetics. Triumph Tiger. I’m sure it’s plenty capable in the right hands. But for most of us, the more agile and lighter 900 would be the better choice. Now here’s what trends say in the press release.
Try and signature t playing triple advantage for the first time in the large capacity adventure world, delivering more power and character than his closest competition The only other shaft-driven bike in the class. Wonder what that could be. And punch an incredible soundtrack that only the trains triple delivers: the new t plane corners or crossing continents in style.
So clearly trying to know about this customer feedback with the 900 and the vibes on the motorway.
Suppose you’ve ever bought a bike from them. You’ll have received the customer satisfaction email, and they often talk about their market research almost as a point of pride when launching new machines. So there are some conscious reassurances that in the press release saying is beautifully smooth and refined and perfect for crossing continents in style. And look, it will be a different engine.
So I’m more than happy to reserve judgment. There’s going to be more capable. It’s an enormous beast, so those vibes might not come to the forefront. In the same way, anyone who’s written both a tiger 812 100 will testify that despite the same crank, they do feel quite different when having a much more meatiness to it. Then there’s the gearing. The current Tiger 1200 makes 122-newton meters of peak torque at 7600 RPM that’s way more than the Tiger 800 meters 80 Newton meters and lower in the revs to so perhaps with the extra pull in the new engine.
They can afford to have it cruising at a slightly lower RPM in six,
Thus reducing those vibes, which are far more noticeable as the tiger 900 climbs up through the revs. Then you’ve got to consider that it could be worth it for all the benefits that extra feel that you’ll get elsewhere in the rev range. I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like.
The tiger 900 already says pretty well. So I’d imagine adding 300 ccs will make it even better. But as always, I’d love to hear your takedown in the comments below.Is it a good move, or should they have stuck with the even triple? Let me know what you think?
