Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2020

Good things take time, they say. Triumph has kept to this and with the Tiger 900 GT Pro has put a motorbike on the cast rims that continues the long, successful path of the 800 with many detail improvements and is just as much a practical everyday motorbike as it is for extended tours and trips. The Triple has become sharper and yet is still a harmonious unit with which even beginners can do no wrong without boring the experienced motorcyclist. And that's thanks to sufficient suspension travel on roads of the most varied qualities as well as quite moderate off-road passages. There was little to complain about in our first impression, but we will certainly take a closer look at the Tiger.

Three-cylinder engine full of character

agile turn-in behaviour

quickshifter as standard

electronically adjustable suspension strut

generous standard equipment

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability.

Flood of switches on the left handlebar
