Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2023

The Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro can do more than you think in many respects. Its chassis can cope with more, the chassis gives more confidence and stability and the engine has more smoothness, especially at the bottom. This is how the Briton conquers the Bosnia Rally as the best bike in the heavyweight class (around 250 kilograms). Above all, the suppleness with which it masters slopes, dirt roads and rocky passages set it apart from the competition. The electronics are also pleasantly restrained, the brakes are user-friendly and, on top of that, the ergonomics are perfect for both tall and short riders when the bike is stationary. If you prefer big touring enduros and like to swap the road for the trail, the Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro is the perfect choice.

Pleasant, relaxed ergonomics

Good wind protection

State-of-the-art electronics

Ample equipment

Very powerful brakes

Finely responsive, semi-active chassis

Ok range

Quick-shifting quickshifter

Very high for short-legged pilots
