Triumph Tiger 900 GTPro Review

[@boblynch7535]

I ride a 22 GT Pro. No significant complaints. I’m 70 and live in an Idaho ski town. Way more dirt than pavement. Your rationals matched mine completely. Sticking to maintained forest roads with pavement in between. I do love my bike but was lured by 24s improvements. A trade in was $9000 so that wasn’t an option. Put it on the block and got 3 calls from scammers, so I’m in love with it again. Think I’m too old to be riding at 7000 rpm. I’m putting some Bridgestone AX41s on Friday so maybe I’ll check out how 6000 or 7000 feels. I know, you’re supposed to get smarter as you age. Whatever

[@Vicko026]

Nice one Bob! Love the attitude :)

At last, a video of the GT pro off road , thank you so much .

A 900cc 105HP machine is a “middleweight” by today’s standards. What a time to be alive

Seems mad eh - but when we have 1300cc full size jobbies...

[@boblynch7535]

Hey there, me again. A comment about the Tiger’s Sport mode. Out here in the American Intermountain West we have miles of straight, flat roads that are interrupted by mountain passes. I love riding road mode with its comfortable setting then barely slowing down to hit sport for the stiffer setting over the pass. Crazy! Was off motorcycles for 40 some odd years skiing and Mountain biking, I still ride the Ducati 750 Sport I bought in 1974. I hop on to my Tiger and it’s a magic carpet ride!

[@ChipZilla69]

I purchased the 2023 model as my first bike. Things I like include a broad torque band plus a good top end. It's very confortable and corners well. The luggage is really handy, especailly the top box. It gets over 55 miltes to the galon and about 230 miles from a full tank. Good visibility out of the mirrors. People complain about the vibes through the bars but you only notice it around 6k rpm which is about 85mph on the motorway and with all the speed cameras you can't do that for long in the UK anyway (even then it's not bad). On very windy days you can get buffeted at motorway speeds and I think it might be worse with the screen up so I leave it down. Most of the time it's not a problem. People complain about the display configuration but option 4 is good, just leave it set to that. My mods include Michelin Road 6 tires, Head crash Bars, Viofo MT1 dash cams, Quad lock wireless charger with Evotech mount, Warm and Safe heated gear controller & Tracker. I try and keep the bike clean but when you do 250 miles per week it never stays clean for long so recomend ACF50 treatment, espially if you are driving through the winter. Oh an this is a big one, it filters through traffic really well, great for going in and out of London. This really is a do it all bike.

[@stevenbatley8666]

[@rickseyb2993]

How do you find the Michelin road 6 tyres compared to the original ? I am thinking of changing mine

[@ChipZilla69]

​@@rickseyb2993Road 6 gives me confidence and are hard wearing. I didn't like the feel of the factory metzlers. In the end a front puncture made the decision for me 😹 Road 6 doesn't come in the exact size but you can get a different profile road 6 that works just fine.

[@rickseyb2993]

@@ChipZilla69 Thanks , yeah with my stock Metzlers they seem to follow every imperfection in the road and aren’t very confidence inspiring especially in the wet , I think new tyres might help

[@ChipZilla69]

@@rickseyb2993 that is exactly how i felt too. Road 6 is night and day in comparison. My rear metzlers doesn't even have 1k miles on it and it's sitting in my garage as a emergency spare.

[@armandomorales5857]

Very nice review ! I have a 2021 model of the gt pro, it improved substantilly once I got a set of Michelin anakee adventure tyres , cheers !

[@MotoBikerMike]

First time watching the video (subscribed), what a great job in answering how capable the gt pro is off road 👍🏼 I have a speed twin 1200 currently (I’m doing vlogs on) which I think will be bowing out to one of these 🙌

[@SKgeostrat]

Really good review. Transfers easily to European conditions. Lovely bike, lovely sound. So civilized! Mature power. Love it!

[@deangriffiths8107]

Picking mine up next week. Living in the UK it won’t see anything like that, just tarmac and the odd pot hole. If it’s that good on dirt tracks I can’t wait to see what it’s like on the road.

[@harryspedding7456]

I have had mine for a month, and it handles the UK potholes so nicely! The chances of going offroad are very slim for me, but god it makes a difference on the crap roads. Love it.

[@anthonycoffey6565]

I just test road the rally pro, absolutely amazing & definitely going to be my next bike! 😊

[@SummerAdventures]

Riding on gravel gets me nervous, but you handled that like a champ.

[@allangilbert5865]

Drop the air pressure down 10 to 15 bls psi, huge difference. turns a street tire into a dirt tire.

[@elithegreat6463]

I had a 2023 model GTPro, I traded it for a 2023 Rocket-3R. I hated the TFT on the older model, but now, I’m missing the versatility. My Rocket is a keeper, but I have a 2023 Ducati Monster SP, that may be Trade Bait for a new GT,??🤔

[@paulguillemot2613]

No doubt the 2024 is a great updated version. Im viewing to buy one tomorrow, yet to decide on Rally or GT. I'm 5'7" I can balls of my feet on the Rally and almost flat foot on the GT. I ride 70% tarmac and the rest on gravel roads which the GT is more than capable. One thing worth mentioning that i have yet to see in any review is that the plastic cover at front of seat and leading onto tank is not just a tank protector as one reviewer said it was. It's the cover to access the air filter! No more removal of tank to clean the filter! Hallelujah!

[@903lew]

Didn’t know that, what a great improvement!

[@zonkex]

You can clean the filter in pre-2024 tiger 900s also, no need to remove the tank like in 800s.

[@josefweitz7844]

Thank you for a great review. I can pick up my new GT PRO in March - looking very much forward to it. I have sold my 2023 Street Triple and wanted a bit more relaxed and more comfortable bike

[@G.ICECOOL]

looking at street triple but 54 now want more comfort so this looks perfect

[@aruekca18det]

Lovely places to ride! I have just came back from a 1,000kms rise with my wife on my 2022 GT Pro. I do not think I need anything else, but for the reviews I have seen, the new one is surely better. Worth the trade? Purely depending on the money available. I mean it is better but the '20-'23 is not bad. I would like to reduce handlebars vibration, a little more end power (not that it needs any 😅) and the screen could be better that rounds up the upgrades already on the new one.

[@chas4life]

I have a '21 RP that I absolutely adore. But this video makes me want to try the GT Pro on.

[@paulchambers2296]

I had a Tiger 900 GT Pro ‘19 model year, loved the bike but hated the gearing on main highways/roads, felt it was over revving and needed an overdrive or 7th gear! How did you find the latest model gear ratios! Also wish they did a spoked wheel option for the GT Pro, might tempt me back if that was an option, Rally Pro a little too tall for me,

[@Flaresh]

Great video. Very informative thanks.

[@KeechyAU]

Love to see a comparison with the Ducati Multistrada V2s. It looks like the closest direct competitor. Love to hear your thoughts on the Multi.

[@Vicko026]

I love the V4 Multi S. There's a review of that bike in the mcnews archive. The V2 duc engine is a nice one for sure and I've no doubt the Multi V2 would be a nice choice. Very likely to be another underrated bike with the V4 taking all the glory (rightly so really, that engine is drool worthy).

great test. also to see that you can ride good off road with it. I have the 2020 gt which I am happy with, should I change it for 2024 model

[@Vicko026]

Cheers John. I think the engine changes alone are worth going for a test ride at the very least. But it’s a step up everywhere. I did miss the top end hit of the 800 when the first T plane landed. Not an issue anymore. The power curve is lurrrrvely

[@Keyser_Soze739]

I have a 2020 gt pro and can’t think of any reason to trade it in for a ‘24. Sure there are some (minor) improvements, but nothing that is worth buying a new bike.

[@NoName-gt5ow]

I think GT Pro is definitely underrated. Actually, I own the same model. The reason I owned the GT Pro was because I thought I wouldn't go off-roading because of my short stature. Anyway, I got into the adventure genre and am now enjoying quite a bit of hard off-roading. However, there were no major problems, and of course, there were many minor scratches and scratches. However, there is no doubt that it is a motorcycle that is powerful enough for the general public to enjoy off-roading. However, there are a few things that are disappointing, such as the foldable footpags and foldable gear shift, as I often drop the motorcycle off-road. Also, the C-clip on the rear seat footpeg often falls off, so I just used a wire to fix it. Also, the downside is that the front tire size is really odd, so it is very difficult to find tires for off-road use. The downside is that you almost always have to use Shinko tires or Mitas tires as front tires.

[@fizzyridertoo]

I'd like to see a comparison between this and the Tracer 9 GT Pro. My head says Yamaha but my heart says triumph. Plus its a much more handsome bike than the Yam.

[@Vicko026]

I rate the Tracer GT pretty highly too. Have not ridden the very latest model yet, but I'd expect it to be good. How good? I'd have to ride it. Benchmark i pretty high with the Tiger tho...

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

I’m with you on the Yam Tracer 9 GT and Triumph 😮‍💨🤦‍♂️

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

Having all that power in Australia is useless , because they just instantly take your license away 😂

[@RideFree317]

I'm in Nz . It has good usable power and pulls well from low, so there's no need to thrash it. But it is very tempting and can exceed the speed limit easily if you want it too.

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

@@RideFree317 are they more laid back in NZ then they are in Aussie land?

[@husqami]

If I was in a country that over policed like Australia this would be the bike to get. It felt a bit too low as I’m 6 ft tall so went for the 1200 GT Pro

[@RideFree317]

@Matthew-wn8oq yeah, not too bad over here . I've had one ticket for going 113kph in a 100 zone, but he was pretty chill about it and said he had not long came from an accident that was a fatal. Keeping less than 10kph over posted limit hasn't landed me any more tickets so far .

[@scottburton68]

Hey Wayne, what;s the heat from the radiator like? Have triumph added any guards to direct the heat away from the rider?

[@Vicko026]

I didnt have any issue with it. But havent ridden it in temps over 35 c. No issues on the Rally Pro either.

[@CutriProductions]

It's still the same as previous Tigers..... Radiator heat blows right onto your legs and knees. But as long as you keep moving, or ride in temperatures less than 70° f, it's pleasant. And in the winter time, it's nice to have that extra heat, on top of the heated grips and heated seats. But if you're looking for a hot weather bike to ride, this is not the one to pick. I own the 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 rally Pro, and love it, but I won't be riding it in hot weather.

[@David-xg6ws]

I just picked up a 24 900GT. Heat on the knees is pretty annoying. But of course, its June in Arizona

[@TheMills567]

Exactly the review I wanted. And I've watched quite a few too. This is what I will be doing on this bike. My only dilemma is do I go with this or the 1200 GT Pro ?? Keep 'em coming, mate!

[@vagabond7883]

Your full review was done on dirt tracks even though this model is the road biased Tiger, fitted with road tyres. Can't figure out your logic here!

[@Vicko026]

Gday Vagabond - I spent the first 4 or 5 minutes talking specifically about how good it was on the road. Then spent the remaining time exploring how good it was on gravel given it's an all roads bike and I couldn't see many other reviews on how it went in those conditions.

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

How is the heat for your legs? That was big problem before.

[@ChipZilla69]

I've got the 2023 model and have not noticed it. But to be honest I've been riding through the winter so a bit of heat would be welcome anyway.

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

No winter were I live, so heat is big issue here lol 🏝️

Didnt notice it as an issue at all - but didnt do any rides over 35 c Chris

@@Vicko026Thank you for the info 👍 much appreciated.

[@CutriProductions]

I own a 2024 Tiger 900 RALLY Pro.... heat on knees is still there. I traded in a 2022 Tiger 850 Sport, with same heat issue. Not sure why Triumph doesn't route the radiator heat down instead of at the driver. Great for colder rides, not so great for above 70 degrees F

[@specialandroid1603]

The elephant in the room is the Triumphs vibration through the footpegs at certain points in the rev range. Unacceptable in a modern bike.
