Is MORE Power Enough To Make The Triumph Tiger 900 the BEST?

[@elithegreat6463]

The 2023 was never lacking power. 70-80-95 MPH the usual of what Riders do on the road was always there. I should know, I have a 900 GT-Pro, and it’s probably the best “Goldilocks Motorcycle” in that it does Everything well. I’m not a Dirt guy, so it’s never been dirty, but a a comfortable Touring Bike, with every option imaginable, no issue at all, Great Bike. 👍🇬🇧

[@AC16]

When you say touring, how long can ride for in a day without being uncomfortable? Tks

[@CWjustindawes]

it only was lacking on the spec sheet, which is a problem when it's difficult to get test rides in the USA before buying... it can also be an issue when critical direct comparisons are made in magazine tests. BUT if you are riding it, the older model is great, but this is even better.

[@elithegreat6463]

@@AC16 The riding position on the 900 GT-Pro is so Neutral, that 500 mile days, with occasional stops of course are easy, the most comfortable Bike I ever owned , and in my lifetime so far, I’ve owned 31 Bikes, I’m 61.

[@stevegordon2032]

@@elithegreat6463 That is some recommendation and one that has definitely swayed me into buying one in early 2025 to join its little brother, my amazing Tiger sport 660. Thanks for your post.😊

[@elithegreat6463]

@@stevegordon2032 I traded my 2023 for a Triumph Rocket 🚀 3R, but I missed my GT so much I just recently got a new 2024 GT-Pro, I love these Tigers, now I’m a total Triumph guy as well 👍🇬🇧

[@johnanderson9735]

I just purchased a Tiger 900 Aragon Edition, and it is the best bike I have ever owned so far. This is the first ADV style bike that fits me in the low seat position with any other suspension changes!

[@raphymartinez]

Is the Aragon really a 2023 Tiger but as a 2024?

[@Damian78687]

Hi. You have had a test ride on the moto guzzi stelvio. Would you try to compare somehow the guzzi with the tiger 900gt pro. These are two models I will probably choose between. Thank you 😊

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

Get the tiger my friend iam currently on 2016 xrx…absolutely bulletproof…still feels like new…plenty fast and Reliable ✌️

[@CWjustindawes]

Hey Damian, My integrity (and Cycle World's) won't allow me to make a direct comparison between two bikes unless I have them at the same place at the same time. Stay tuned for a shootout later this year.

[@uttamgala7186]

The tiger already blew the BMW F850GS out of the water when it came to power. That was never in question.

[@cesarcuazitl]

I'm here just for considering the change of my 850gs. Today I went to see the "new" bmw 900, and has nothing like an "upgrade" comming from an 850, it even has 1.5 liter less thatn the 850! ¬¬! This Tiger has 21 liter gas tank, adjustable windshield, heated seats, explorer lights, lighter and more power than 900BMW, there's nothing to compare TBH.

[@uttamgala7186]

@@cesarcuazitl Just depends what you're looking for. I do love the BMW's as well, but yes, it's hard to beat Triumph when it comes to features at the price point. Lower cost of ownership overall. I enjoy my Tiger 1200 - it's an absolute highway beast.

[@steveparish9210]

Instruments are backlit too!

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

I bought a new Triumph Tiger 800XC in 2013 because it was also beating BMW. I should have bought anything else. The bike was a parade of "known issues", the dealer couldn't care less and neither could Triumph. I won't make that mistake again.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

Never needed more power.

[@Ron-j3t]

Does it come with a stick to pry mud out from between the wheel and the front fender? i know its not a dirt bike and Im just looking at an image maybe my paranoia having taken road bikes where they don't belong and looking for a stick.

[@LawrenceCragg-t2k]

Hi i always wondered about Triumph putting a 19 inch front wheel on the front of what is esentially a road going motorcycle in the 900 gt pro, most people talk about the stearing being slow, with a 19 inch front its kinda obvious .

[@LazyJack2003]

Hi, I ride an 800Xrx, so basically the predecessor of the 900GT. Yes, they are road oriented, but can do much more "off-tarmac" than many might think. They offer sufficient suspension travel for unpaved ground and the 19" makes for good off-tarmac and even off-road riding. I think it is a great combination for e.g. my kind of touring. I do a 6.000 - 7.000 km tour every summer and mix in quite a bit of gravel and forest roads and I am very happy with that 19" wheel. Both, in the dirt as well as on the road. If I wanted a "tarmac only"-tourer - well there are plenty of alternatives.

[@dgomes265]

Like to see a test between this and 890 and the F900GS

[@kkhalifah1019]

13% more but from Triumph's published chart, it's still heaped up right at the very top end where I don't go on this bike. The valve clearance interval (major service) has been increased to 18,000 miles. The new dash is a welcome relief coz the current horizontal tacho design is just plain stupid.

[@MarcelWalser-s6n]

I think the main competitor is the Honda Africa Twin.. roughly the same price and power range

[@phillipgarfoot9867]

Africa twin crf1000l love it

[@specialandroid1603]

93.7 is slightly less than my old Triumph Sprint 900. But 106.5 is nothing to write home about.

[@dcxplant]

Pushing on the Rally Pro is the front wheel and geometry, not the road LoL

[@CWjustindawes]

The GT Pro pushes, not the Rally. LOLZ

[@defylifeadventure]

Power was the never the problem. It was heavier than the KTM, more twitchy than most in the class off-rad due to the lower rake, and had those stupid electronics that didn't remember your settings when you turned the bike off, and couldn't be changed on the fly.

[@ANonymous-pg9xg]

Always the same story every year. Always they weigh as much as the moon and carry weight too high too, always.

[@vvevvevvvv]

Heavier than KTM only. pretty much every other bike is heavier than both KTM and Triumph.

[@john-wq8kf]

Well after my bmw 1200 tractor I think this is a brill bike (mine is a Tiger 800 xca ) oh I’ve only had seventeen bikes since I passed my test in 1964 so I think I’ve learned a bit, of all the bikes off-road in the past a Greeves scrambler for off road was one of the best. Oh I didn’t have to get a second mortgage to buy it.

[@RideFree317]

My settings are remembered, and the only modes you have to stop for are two up or luggage and off road , not that I ride off road so that one doesn't matter for me

[@defylifeadventure]

@@RideFree317That's great. So you can turn off ABS and then when you turn off the ignition and turn it back on the ABS is still set to off? If so that is an improvement over the previous Tiger 900 which required you to press a button within a certain time period in order to go back to the last setting.

[@Thomas-us4wq]

The cast aluminium wheels are completely wrong on a bike like this.. It should be spoked rims.. !

[@CWjustindawes]

the Rally Pro has wire spoke wheels.

[@kugangles9860]

If you do primarily on road riding the 21 inch front heavier spoked wheels don't really make sense.

[@Thomas-us4wq]

@@kugangles9860 they still look much better than the cast wheels. And let's be honest, riding an adventure bike on the road is all about style. 🙂

[@vvevvevvvv]

​@@Thomas-us4wqI will be honest. Cast wheels are perfectly fine. Spokes can undo themselves, harder to wash, can rust. Sometimes they also break. So, Mr poser, why do you need them? Buy yourself a Harley, you don't need an adventure bike.

[@charlesodonnell4214]

Well Harley does make a Pan Am which many like... Just saying we are all different

[@csposir]

Make me a F900XR competitor Triumph. Your own Tiger 660 is purposely dumbed down by your marketing it without cruise control, so maybe go with a road going 900 machine. Adventure patterned bikes are done to death…

[@vvevvevvvv]

GT in my eyes compares to f900xr perfectly.

[@breakfast00club..11]

I have the 2022 triumph 900 Gt pro and it gutless. I own and ride it every day..where as most of the comments are from folks who rode it once

[@RideFree317]

I have 2023 gtpro . I'm not sure what you're used to , but I find it has plenty of power and not what I would call gutless at all

[@2alphacpa374]

Hi, can you elaborate on the “gutless” comment ? Thank you

[@breakfast00club..11]

@2alphacpa374 it's been remedied Apparently the new ones have much more horsepower mine is a 2023 not a 2022. Sorry Also I live in San Diego Cal We have freeways and slow bikes can be dangerous.

[@EckRD]

You should've bought the street triple 765 instead of the Triumph adventure bikes 😂

[@martyn_g]

I’m sticking to my 1250GSA😋

[@tg8150]

Except the Tracer 9 GT is a ton less $ and is a better motorcycle overall. Also, the Yamaha is made in Japan so it won’t break down on you like the fake Triumph will.
