Tiger 1200 range receives updates for 2024
Triumph Motorcycles has announced the 2024 Tiger 1200 range and its refinements. The 2024 updates include further refinements to the engine, enhanced comfort and ergonomics, improved cornering ground clearance, reduced seat height with Active Preload Reduction and distinctive new colors.
T-Plane engine
Triumph is renowned for its 3-cylinder T-Plane engine. For 2024, the Tiger’s 1160 cc triple engine, with its peak 150 PS of power, now delivers an even more refined riding experience, with superior low-speed control, while still retaining its signature triple character from its T-Plane crank.
Additionally, with the changes to the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balancer to increase engine inertia, plus some associated engine calibration changes, the Triumph engineering team has been able to create a smoother and more precise low-rev torque delivery. Customers will be able to feel the increased smoothness while accelerating or decelerating, especially at low speeds. An updated clutch design will also mean that riders experience a smoother engagement when changing into first gear.
Enhanced comfort
The rider seat has been re-designed with a flatter profile, providing more space for the rider which will help reduce fatigue on longer trips. The accessory low seat, which reduces the seat position by 20mm to give the lowest seat height of 830mm on the GT Pro and 855mm on the Rally Pro, has also been designed to be significantly more comfortable. A longer clutch lever has also been introduced, providing increased space for riders’ fingers and adding further comfort, especially on longer journeys.
Triumph has also increased the cornering ground clearance of the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer models, by lifting the footpeg positions and moving them closer to the bike. The new Active Preload Reduction feature, which was revealed in August 2023, offers the rider greater confidence by reducing the rear suspension preload as the Tiger 1200 slows to a stop, lowering the seat height by up to 20mm, simply by pressing the ‘Home’ button on the switch cube for one second.
New colors
The Tiger 1200 is now available in four variants, with new colors for 2024. The Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer, tailor-made for the perfect road-focused adventure ride, are now available in Carnival Red, as well as the previous options of Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Explorer – for those looking for an all-terrain adventure – are now available in Matt Sandstorm, and Jet Black options, as well as the popular Matt Khaki.
PH availability and pricing
Triumph Motorcycles Philippines has yet to announce the availability and pricing of the 2024 Tiger 1200 range. However, the current lineup consisting of the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, are available with an SRP starting at PHP 1,460,000.
