ENHANCED STYLE AND PRESENCE

First introduced in 2020, the Alpine and Desert concepts return for 2026 with a bold new look. Designed for riders who crave adventure, these Special Editions feature new mountain- and dune-inspired logos and inject fresh energy into Triumph’s adventure line-up. The Tiger 900 Alpine and Desert Editions sharpen the bike’s rugged character with purposeful styling, from the signature beak and cockpit to sculpted side panels, narrow standover and added protection bars.

The Tiger 900 Alpine Edition features a Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black colour scheme with striking Aegean Blue accents, inspired by dramatic mountain landscapes.
The Tiger 900 Rally Desert Edition contrasts Urban Grey and Sapphire Black with bold Baja Orange highlights, reinforcing its tough, off-road-ready attitude.
The Tiger 1200 Alpine Edition is offered in two colourways: Satin Crystal White & Matt Metallic Grey with Caspian Blue accents, or Ash Grey with Intense Orange for a more vivid look—both reflecting a premium, adventure-focused design.
The Tiger 1200 Desert Edition also comes in two bold schemes: Satin Granite with Triumph Performance Yellow, or Crystal White & Red, each emphasising exploration and rally-inspired capability. Distinctive LED lighting and a signature daytime running light complete the look, enhancing visibility while reinforcing the Tiger’s confident, commanding presence.

TRIPLE POWERED PERFORMANCE

At the heart of every Tiger lies Triumph’s unique triple engine with a T-plane crank, delivering the character and tractability of a twin at low revs, combined with the thrilling top-end performance of a triple. This distinctive setup ensures smooth mid-range acceleration and precise torque delivery, giving riders confidence and control across a wide range of riding conditions.

The Tiger 900 sets the benchmark in the middleweight adventure category, powered by an 888cc triple engine producing 108 PS at 9,500 rpm and 90 Nm of torque at 6,850 rpm. Its responsive power delivery, excellent engine efficiency, and Euro 5+ compliance make it ideal for both long-distance touring and technical off-road riding—offering the perfect balance of performance and practicality.

For those seeking ultimate performance, the Tiger 1200 delivers a class-leading 150PS peak power at 9,000rpm and 130Nm of torque at 7,000rpm. Its 1-3-2 firing order contributes to a smooth and effortless ride, while the low-down torque and high-end power make it the perfect engine for serious adventure riders. Fully compliant with Euro 5+ regulations, it offers the ideal balance of power, control, and refinement.

ALL ROAD CAPABILITY

The Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200 are built for strength, control and durability. All models feature twin-sided cast aluminium swingarms for stability, Brembo braking components for strong stopping power, and a damped handlebar mounting system for long-distance comfort. Rally Pro and Desert Editions also benefit from spoked, tubeless wheels for confident mixed-terrain riding.

On the Tiger 900, suspension is tuned to each edition. The Alpine Edition uses Marzocchi 45mm USD forks with 180mm travel, while the Desert Edition upgrades to Showa 45mm USD forks with 240mm travel for tougher off-road use. Matching rear suspension delivers 170mm travel on the Alpine and 240mm on the Desert. Braking is via twin 320mm front discs with Brembo Stylema calipers and a 255mm rear disc, paired with Metzeler Tourance Next tyres on the Alpine and Bridgestone Battlax Adventure tyres on the Desert.

The Tiger 1200 features Showa semi-active suspension across all variants, with 200mm of front and rear travel for exceptional comfort and control. A lightweight Tri-Link aluminium swingarm enhances stability, while Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers with twin 320mm front discs and a 282mm rear disc deliver powerful braking. Spoked, tubeless 21”/18” wheels are fitted with Bridgestone A41 tyres on the Alpine and Metzeler Karoo Street tyres on the Desert.
