Off-Road Review | 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally

[@lalocreme]

Best adventure bike review ever, thank you! Exactly the right amount of swearing gibberish that I'd expect to hear in my own helmet on a ride like that.

[@dracer35]

Funny how you keep saying people don't really ride these bigger bikes offroad yet that's exactly what we want to do. After doing just about every kind of riding possible from enduro racing to a cross country dual sport trip on the TAT on a KTM 500exc. I realized that the little bikes were not much fun for adventure riding. They are so easy to ride that I get bored unless you are on some hardcore single track. Sold it and have been having a ton of fun riding bigger adventure bikes anywhere from 950 to 1200 cc and its been a blast! You actually have to work on improving your riding skill and then overcoming those extremely hard obstacles is so much more exhilarating and rewarding than on a little dual sport. Obviously big adv bikes aren't for everyone but for the rest of us, they can be the most fun on two wheels.

[@braaaaaaaaaaap]

Thank you for swearing and not censoring this channel. Refreshing from all the 'family safe' stuff these days. Keep it real!

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

great episode, Boothy on the beans, great on the mountain and appears to be very handy off-road as well, great that this time the bike didn't break on him riding off-road, and a 44teeth group test!! Awesome, make sure all four of you are involved, Statham, Sue, Mossy and Boothy, 4 different makes, shoot it out

[@leuvenlife]

Boothy's constant stream of "oh sh!t" moments reminds me of my own internal dialogue when riding, sadly though, when I say it, I'm not doing anything exceptional, just riding along...

[@Beinhartwie1chopper]

A comparism to the 1300gs would be great!

[@corbin065]

I could watch you ride for ages mate with your seat-of-the-pants commentary, that’s how many of us ride off road. Guts and Glory one second and holy Christ the next. Great review, gorgeous country.

[@benwells2338]

I’ve already gushed over the design of the GT Explorer in your previous vid, but I can’t get over how attractive these bikes are and yet how capable and how well they seem to handle as legitimate do-everything long distance touring options.

[@deanmsimpson]

That was wicked! Thanks for taking us along for the ride Boothy 👍

[@NeilMendham]

Awesome video, sounds exactly like me when I push my AT off-road. “Whoa”, “oh”, “shit”, “wow”, “ey-up”, “aaargh”, repeat as required for entire ride. Nice one!

[@hubert1142]

Glad you split the review into two parts. Great job Boothy! What a bike and what an awesome place to ride picked by Triumph. Noice, Nige.

[@Cataclysm1]

Great vid! The footage had me holding my breath a few times, lol. Excellent camera position.

[@newenglandscrambler2262]

Aw yeah. This is the review I was waiting for. This is exactly how I'm going to ride the thing (though maybe take it a little easier on the throttle), so great to see that it is living up to expectations. Great video. Thanks for posting the actual off-road video and not just talking about it like everyone else. What a cool spot to ride.

[@filmcamera]

Nice stuff! My only niggle is that Triumph always brings both the GT and the Rally to these launches and you test both in their natural habitat. Makes me wonder how the Rally is ON the the road or how the GT is OFF it. I know most GT owners will never take the bike off-road but ALL the Rally's will spend the vast majority of their time on it, so what is it like to ride?

[@georgewatt354]

Lol that Boothy stalled it, reminds me of me, so funny top man boothy for not editing it out.

[@ABIKETHING]

What a great demonstration of what this bike can do. It's a real pleasure to watch Boothy ride these bikes.

[@paulcrombach7262]

Oeeeh love that little announcement at the end about the group test!

[@dukiemoto8676]

That was a bunch of fun to watch. Beautiful country extremely capable motorcycle and quite entertaining reviewer. Thank you

[@davidhardstaff8110]

I've just done the Kielder 500 for the second time on the 900 rally pro. I've never been a triumph fan boy but They have it spot on now, I'm converted.

[@jimpalecek7053]

Great video! Woke me up on a sleepy Sunday.

[@Gobbbbb]

Boothy looks proper in his element here, good riding mate.

[@danj9339]

Friggin awesome video. I was scared for ya in some parts! That motor sounds wicked.

[@malcellison8831]

Great test and review. As always, Boothy entertains 😄

[@sheepishenduro5936]

Boothy was absolutely the best thing to happen to this channel since BBB1

[@WillosWorkshop]

Awesome work Boothy, bikes looks and sounds great! 👍

[@bloodyhell451]

Fantastic work Boothy ! Great riding, great review and bloody hilarious with it. Keep it up guys!

[@Bobby-wn5yr]

Wow, I had no idea how similar the terrain of Portugal was to Australia! That looks like a riot! Great review boothy! Would really like to see you and the lads go back there with some adventure bikes and do a bit of independent testing ;)

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

Best off road review ever of any any adventure bike 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@NickCurrieadventure]

Matt is a legend. Great fun following him on a route.think I lasted about 30 secs before I realised I was in wrong league.

[@Birky_41]

Just got back from Wales doing exactly this (with a few amateur uploads). I completely get the clonk - I had the Tenere 700 doing it's lot!

[@chrisandersen5184]

That looked like one of life's most fun days. I hope I didn't wait to long to try out a the adv lane. Looking forward to the group test. Lots of options out there...

[@PhilipBeresford]

Nice one Boothy, you really went full send there. Mighty impressive to watch

[@dankorolyk5917]

Brilliant commentary as usual, and you weren’t hanging around mate!

[@jusdsun8319]

I really enjoyed this video, great job! Awesome bike too!

[@scaff3450]

Think mat was trying to lose you 🤣 well kept up that man

[@FabulousWanderers]

What a flippin bike rider you are mr boothe, WoW fantastic, and great review too 👍👍

[@klrbiker]

I must say, this may be the Best Sounding exhaust, Car or Bike, that I have ever heard!

[@mochabear88]

looked like a great ride to be a part of. good review boothy

[@aidanreilly5469]

Skills Boothy! Really enjoyed this video.

[@alextaylor9139]

Boothy needs a pay rise! His videos recently are brilliant

[@PaulMappud]

I like the look of it, I'm particularly taken with the way the exhaust runs parallel with the frame, looks like someone has actually thought about it...

[@benwells2338]

Agreed! I’m an architectural designer so this sort of attention to detail in bikes, cars, what have you, often times becomes glaring design mishaps that I might see but most might not or even care about. I like to emphasize when such care has been taken and applaud the designers, considering design is hardly ever done in a vacuum. You always have to contend with the goals of the engineering teams, bean counters, and overall ethos of the brand you work under. This bike strikes a nice balance between utility and contemporary design IMO. This and the new Norden 901 are ADVs I’d actually enjoy staring at in my garage, as much as I would enjoy touring with it.

[@rainbow-walker]

Fantastic, loved that. Matt is awesome, and the setup at Wim's Motor Academy is an Adventure Bikers nirvana. Wonderful people there too (visited last November with the Triumph Adventure Experience).

[@sk2283]

Jesus Boothy ! you were motoring on there in unknown territory !! fair play - love it ! I wonder if this is the thing Triumph had in mind when they said - take them for a spin !!!

[@NickyLong89]

Looking forward to the group test. Great idea 👌

[@jamiecleeves7921]

brilliant riding mate cracking video

[@Porkycheun]

That dude wasn't messing around! (O-O')

[@1991julez]

Lovin your work Boothy

[@silentsinger3016]

What a legend! Great footage. The sound of that engine is heavenly, Ducati with a soupçon of R1. Triumph finally makes an engine that doesn’t sound like a washing machine on spin. Think I’ll be feeling quite patriotic on my next bike if they continue down this route 👍

[@paulsnify]

Brave man, thats a big piece of metal to hammer down off road tracks.

[@davealston3881]

Loved the review ! loved the commentary. i own a 1250 so im keen to take one for a test.

[@Banditmanuk]

Kin hell, that looked fast off road! Looks a very capable machine. 👌

[@dakavanagh]

Those rapid runs, just awesome!

[@Squiddy97]

Can't get over how nice the thing sounds ❤

[@neilb4297]

Boothy…… champion amongst bike reviewers🏆

[@_Makanko_]

Love to get Chris' take on this on how it compares to his GS when he gets to try it. Sure it'll be biased but to be honest it's what Triumph is gunning for; converting people from a GS to this. Excited to watch the group test. Cheers Boothy

[@SickBikeDude]

Lol doesn’t Chris hate off-road?

[@_Makanko_]

@@SickBikeDude Yeah but is he not the "typical" GS owner that never goes off-road? Aren't Triump aiming for that crowd? The less adventurous ADV bike owners you might say.

[@SickBikeDude]

@@_Makanko_ yea you’re def right. I’d def would love to hear his take on road performance. Plus the Tiger comes in green and he loves green. I just cant see him doing any tests off road lol. But if he does he will complain and it will be glorious.

[@carlsimpson6964]

That engine sounds mint Mr booth👌

[@Elysian_Angel_]

Yes, those bikes are more capable off-road than you’d think. I found that the most important thing to have is at least a basic amount of confidence: it’s just between your ears. Beyond that, the bike does most of the work for you. I ride a 1250GSA myself.

[@ToriADVMoto]

I love this kind of real hard riding footage... I wanna see back to back on the exact same track at the same place with a GS. So far I have not heard one reviewer say " this is better that a GS off road. I often wonder why triumph didn't develop a belly tank or some way to get the fuel low in this bike? Especially as tall as this engine is.

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

I much prefer to ride my Tiger 1200 off road than on road. Great video 👍🏼

[@phillipchandler8862]

That was really entertaining and the Rally looks a competant good all round big adventure bike. Reminds me of the KTM 990 adventure I owned for 3 years. Good one Boothy 💪👌

[@gattigatozza]

That leading rider gave you some serious catching exercise.

[@tonyw3250]

Great test, but if you want to see dust ride in Australia we have plenty to chew here, which is no fun if you're in a large group on a 40 degree day

[@paulmunson3049]

Great video Mr Booth, had me laughing all the way through keep up the good work 💥💥👌 Remember, if in doubt, flat out 😆👍

[@skts2610]

Seems to be a cracking bit of kit, loving the sound of it too, unlike the GS and KTM’s sounding like a bag of bolts! Look forward to the group test👌🏽👍🏽

[@scottyoung5625]

Another great review, 44 Teeth getting better all the time. Love the tripped out Jazz at the beginning, what is it?

[@Nomads_Rowing]

Boothy, it was good to see all the Dakar training paid off and you put it to good use😎 Very impressive how nimble it seems for such a big bike plus a great sound track for when you got to pin the throttle. The question is though, would Sue Perkins with his hat firmly in the GS camp, buy one? 🤔 Great review and footage as usual from 44Teeth 😎

[@moviebod]

Nice riding man. Proper quick. Epic in fact.

[@triedproven9908]

Sweet trails. You were riding the heck out of them.

[@Desmo904]

Yay! Pt2. My favourite bit.

[@D001lz]

Loving this type of review! It would be interesting to see how the Triumph scrambler 1200XE compares on that track. Good work on putting the bike through its paces!

[@Blazemon9999]

My botty clinched when boothy locked up headed for that drop off. Love the feeling you get when u ride away from a situation like that haha

[@HollyBerryDOOG]

I reckon bike will be a winner, it performs well and sounds fantastic. Can it match the SA off road or GS’s usability? Quite possibly imo.

[@KOedNAC]

the footage and riding on this video was so good I almost forgot it was a motorcycle review. I love adventure bikes and this video absolutely made me want to buy one but alas, I am short...

[@daveo9844]

Top ride that 🏍💨👍🏼 I was braking on the couch 🙈😂

[@thorbjornbrevik5503]

Nice review. Do you have to turn the TC totally off to lift the front weel, or is it possible in offroad/rally mode? Cheers T

[@davidsmyth2798]

Brilliant mate, nice to see you giving it some beans! That’s the sort of stuff I do on my FE250 never mind on a big adventure bike, am definitely impressed 👌

[@paulsherwood6010]

Looking forward to the group test..👍

[@bongyakwui]

How is the Rally Explorer performance on-road with 21' front wheel?

[@JanPeters]

Very nice experience in the country side of Portugal. Bike seems very capable too. Rider as well ;-)

[@neilf9861]

Man you guys were flying. Normally you see these off road things and think, yeah but you could do that on a R1 - not you guys! Epic…

[@Tiaan90]

That engine sounds really nice! Makes me hopeful for Koenigsegg's 3-cyl in the Gemera. In all honesty this engine even sounds somewhat similar to Koenigsegg's 5L V8 imo!

[@paulfryer8548]

Great to see Triumph going for it. Big fan & own 2 road Triumphs. Just not sure if I'm missing something! Test covers two very focused bikes. One for road, one for offroad. The sound great in each case but to compare to the other adventure bikes you surely have to test each in the other environment, say the GT offroad. Does that make sense?

[@andresousaism]

big Boothy energy

[@Oliverlikesbikes]

I wouldn't normally bother with an off road review but I would listen to boothy commenting on paint drying

[@timevans203]

Boothy’s reviews always put a smile on my face with his assortment of fecks and shitehouses.Wonderful keep them coming.

[@nickmayfield6951]

Tiger Rally pro or multistrada V4? Help I can't decide

[@Agrolife86]

Nice review.it would be great though if you could right a short review here too.your conclusion about the bike

[@cameronhart415]

Can’t wait for the group text. But I don’t see this beating the big Ktm or the gs

[@brucekendall52]

Good riding,thanks.

[@jimmyrottencauli]

Brilliant Boothy 👍

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

A lovely track well ridden, takes me straight back to Pembrey Country Park where I did all my offroading when I was a teenager. Can't help but think a Husqvarna 701 would be easier, lighter and faster though

[@stuart0604]

Sounds awsome cheers boothster

[@mikeb9281]

Love that engine

[@JWxUK]

Great review, camera pixelation was annoying though

[@thinkdunson]

was that Nevesy behind you?

[@Jaffa1951]

Nice riding, Boothy. I'd have liked to have been there with you if they had a Slow, Slow group, maybe riding Honda CT125s

[@lucasrustt]

Can you guys review more 125cc bikes?

[@AdmV0rl0n]

I wonder if the shaft drive is playing a part in that initial throttle 'bang' torque bite.. Anyway... I used to own a Triumph Thunderbird 96. Triumph keep making great bikes. And I see they are returning some production back to the UK.

[@wobblysauce]

Throttle map on tipin, could be a setting change to stop/change that characteristic.

[@twowheelsandathrottle]

Seems like this bike suffers from the same "easy to stall" issue my Scrambler 1200XE had before I put a booster on it. Seems like I've read quite a few Triumphs suffer from this. Other than that though, really am looking to get a test ride some day.

[@rickcrane839]

Wonderful review, great entertainment and a very nice introduction to real-time English cussing. ;)
