I took (and passed) the test on this bike two weeks ago and was convinced this would be my next bike. The dealer encouraged me to also try the 1200 GT Pro before making a decision and boy did he end up regretting his suggestion. I found the 1200 less top heavy, more planted, and obviously with quite a bit more power, so the 900 ceased to be a topic of discussion. The problem for the dealer was he had no interesting deals on a 1200 apart from a 2 year old demo bike, so I ended up buying the 1200 elsewhere. And, to my delight, I found a 2024 Demo 1200 with 1‘100km on the clock and a 25% price discount. Thanks for the tip, Mr Dealer.

You found it less top heavy? Despite extra fuel, materials etc?????

[@woodywood3388]

@@longer31 The 1200 GT Pro and 900 Rally Pro each have a 20 litre tank, so weight in that regards is comparable. The GT Explorer has a 30l tank, adding another 12+kg to the weight of the bike.

@@woodywood3388 Yes, of course. Zapped that the fact that the fuel capacity is the same. Cheers for that. Enjoy the bike.

Have been driving the Tiger900 rally sinds april. And I must say I love this bike. I came from the tiger 800 and the only complaint I have is the cruise control can only be active from 43 or 46 km/hr (forgot except nr.) and the 800 was active from 30km/h great for village driving. But everything else is better. More power, looks, seating position + comfortabel seating. Came just back from the Alphes and driving 10 hrs was stil good (don't expect a miracle it is bike comfort) and the engine crashbars are great as a foot rest for long journeys. Great bike for middel weight.

[@smallikous]

Hey! Your review for the rally pro 2023 was one of the major reasons I ended up choosing the specific model. After 1.5 year and 28000km I can easily say it was a great option!

[@martinbaldam6676]

I have the exact same bike, no vibes for me compared to the previous generation which I felt was way too vibey, unbelievable brakes, the quick shifter/blipper is the best I've used on any bike and the spec you get for the price is top notch. On the road its smooth and very planted, off road its very very capable, so much so I part ex'd my 1250GS for it, no regrets.

[@urbanstrencan]

Triumph really nailed it with 900 Tiger so good to ride nice updates to it to.❤❤❤ Great video

[@astrofeeder777]

this will probably be my next bike. i was really tempted by the f900gs but when i actually saw these at the dealership and sat on them, i shit myself a little bit. its just what you expect from triumph. the build quality and fit and finish of the tiger 900 is unparalleled. i just got my striple rs this year so hopefully ill have it paid off by next riding season so i can grab one of these.

[@lui310]

Visually i think the green tiger is one of the top 3 best looking adv bikes together with the desert x and the norden. Before buying my desert x i test rode a tiger, but didn't enjoy it as much as i hoped. Especially in tight corners the tiger felt so much less nimble and sporty compared to the desert x. I could really feel the big front wheel

[@nathannicholson5793]

Listening to yours and a few others reviews on the bike is great. Rode it a few weeks ago on a triumph off road experience and it’s awesome. I have the 1200 Rally Pro and I love it having moved it it from the old 900, I just wish the 900 was a little bit more comfortable for me at 6ft 4in. Opposite problem to a lot of comments but such is life

[@chrisbillington9503]

I owned 2022 rally pro 900. I test rode both the rally and gt at the time. I preferred the rally then. 2024 I test rode both again and this time I bought a GT Pro. Never go off rode and found the GT Pro sharper on the road and more planted. Much improved over the previous GT pro. The spokes on my rally were tarnished after one winter so prefer the GT cast wheel. Also hated the gold forks. That’s just my opinion anyway. Didn’t think I needed electronic adjustable suspension at rear. But love it now flicking between pillion and rider only. Much easier.

[@kristofvanloocke]

bought a rally pro today, awesome bike!

[@kee7678]

Love min...best mid ADV bike on the market.

[@MrMikey1703]

I had a TIger 800 ABS for 8 years and absolutely LOVED that bike. I'm selling my 1250 GS and coming back to Triumph. The GT Pro is high on my list as is the Street Triple RS and I'll also look closely at the Speed Twin 1200 RS when it releases. Wish I could afford all three as I can see a definite use case for each.

[@tomrohan8480]

At what speed you feel the vibes on this 2024 model bike

Proud owner of a 24' Tiger 900 GT Pro here, I absolutely love this bike. One of the best allrounder bikes on the market. You have to give it a try! 😁

[@pascallenoir5917]

Hi there ! How does the Tiger behaves when loaded and with pillion ? Comfort for the pillion, braking capacity ? Thanks and cheers !

[@kyleotoole]

​@pascallenoir5917 T It's absolutely fine with pillion and full luggage. No need for the 1200

[@TheDarkness_92]

@@pascallenoir5917 more than enough power on tap, very nice comfort for riding two up & the brakes are phenomenal for an adventure bike. The linked brakes bring so much stability to the table! The 1200 provides even more comfort tho, the 900 is more agile. So for sporty riders I recommend the 900.

[@garysatterthwaite3751]

I have just part ex’d my 2021 GT Pro which I absolutely loved, my only issue was at 6’2” I found it a bit short in the leg for me. I also found the quick shifter ok, however new version is way better. I was not keen on the old seat nor the TFT. So I went and tried a new Rally Pro and fell for it, nice and tall for me and way better comfort for my height. New engine just improves what I thought was already a good engine, the slight vibes never bothered me, but even less with the new engine. So now I await delivery for Sept 1st, until then I still have my V7 Guzzi 850 to trundle around on. For me worth the upgrade. Khaki green with white frame looks ace in my eyes, that’s all that matters.

[@boomwindsurfing2744]

Nice review Rob but would like to have heard your conclusion and opinion on where this bike ranks among the competition. I took delivery of mine (exactly the same as the one you tested) in June and I absolutely love it. I cannot get the smile off my face when I ride it.

[@nickriley1260]

Been looking at these for a while. Seems the biggest complaint people have with the 900 is excessive engine heat cooking your legs. Still going to give one a test ride though as it’s a nice looking bike and we’ll equipped.

[@woodywood3388]

@@nickriley1260 the engine heat is a real issue, especially if you are in stop and start traffic. It’s another reason I opted for the 1200 GT Pro instead.

I just wish they made a more road focused version, with 180 rear tire and 17inch front tire.

[@robm3357]

Been thinking of the 900 GT Pro but a trip to the dealer and there was no more Pro versions available. Been thinking the GT would be ok because I don’t need a quick shifter. I would go for the tire pressure sensors from the accessory catalog and maybe some other items next year. I do not like a buzzy engine and that is a major concern for me. I tried to get a test ride but no 900s available…..

[@brianlangley2607]

If anyone would know, I thought it might be you...I love my 2019 800 XCX, but I want the tubeless wheels of this 900 Rally...is there any possibility of fitting them?

[@Poor_Guy_Matt]

Does it still have the slightly sharper rake angle? I would love to grab a midweight adv bike but I would certainly be going offroad and that is one of the biggest downsides to the tigers.

[@gullyfoyle-uf6fr]

If still offered, is the Tiger 850 the good 'basic' version? i have the 2015 Tiger xca....love it, but might consider a 900 as i get..ummmm...older.

[@MikeBBB]

Could a missing base model Rally mean we might get a fabled Tiger 660 Rally version sometime this year…?

[@ichbins2545]

TIGER is number one for me

[@paulvandervyver4223]

Some KZbin reviewers reckon the 24.6 degree steering rake of the Tiger 900 makes the fronf feel vague/not confidence inspiring on gravel/loose sandy surfaces. Anyone here has the same experience/opinion?

[@mart7798]

@@paulvandervyver4223 its good on the road,but if you read the manual it tells you to lose the preload on the rear and add on the front to alter the rake.gets it nearer to the 27 degrees every harps on about

[@timflannery8303]

It's great off road but you MUST drop rear preload and increase front preload to increase the angle and make it work. Very twitchy if you ride off road with the showroom setup. Proven over 13,000 miles on my 2022.

[@Black-Country-Rider]

I just don't get the issue with the supposedly vibey engine... I have an Aragon edition which doesn't have the damped handle bars and i genuinely don't feel any buzzy engine vibes. The only thing I'm disappointed in are the front brembo brakes which are frankly ....crap , i expected the stylemas to offer much better bite and feel.. Other than that, the tiger is an excellent bike.

[@francksebban-fh9le]

Tiger or Ducati ? Wich one do you prefer ?

[@kennedyracing7527]

Why are you not comparing it to DesertX?

[@lgrw660factory]

Maybe the reason the engine is so “unique” is that other manufacturers think it’s too vibey? Just sayin’

[@TheDarkness_92]

Try it, no vibes on the 24 model at all!

[@mart7798]

​@@TheDarkness_92ive got the rally pro 2024 and it does have vibes,and pretty noticeable at certain rpm.i dont find it a problem though,it just seems these days something to moan about.if you use it as it was intended,it wouldn't even register as a complaint anyway!had mine 3 weeks and love it.

[@alexmorgan3435]

Pretty insipid compared to a genuine triple engine without the T plane crank nonsense. Yamaha Tracer 9 GT Pro for a start or if you REALLY want a proper twin buy the KTM 890 Adv which is very good, but this Tiger 900 Rally Pro is not.

[@alexmorgan3435]

Triumph has lost their way messing with their lovely smooth triple engines going to using a T plane crank configuration to make the engine feel more like a twin such as KTM. I found the Tiger 900 GT Pro engine vibey, uninspiring, characterless, lacking power and refinement at higher speeds. I was really disappointed when I rode it. I doubt this most recent iteration has completely solved these issues as it still uses the T plank crank nonsense. I would get a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT Pro instead now it has a good TFT screen. The engine on that is far far superior to the Triumph. Also if you want a bike with characteristics like a twin, then buy a twin such as a KTM 890 Adv which I have ridden and liked very much. Triumph seems to have made some really daft decisions recently. Their loss plenty of other good rival bikes to buy.

@@alexmorgan3435 Oh, of course, because that‘s why we all buy a bike. For the TFT. How could I forget. In the meantime, the fact that the Tiger kills the KTM on road, that fact that its quickshifter is so much better, the fact that to get the same functionality on the KTM you have to pay extra for all kinds of add-on packages, well none of that matters if you have a TFT. Good call. 🤪
