The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 follows its predecessor the Tiger 800 with a major ground-up redesign for this year. It is a middleweight ADV that now reaps the on- and off-road-focused benefits of the submodels in the Tiger 900 GT/Pro and Tiger 900 Rally/Pro. In our First Look, Triumph USA’s operation manager stated, “What we’ve really tried to do is separate the Rally and GT versions out so that the GT is way more of a road bike and the Rally is way more of an off-road bike to really make it not feel like they’re basically the same things but with different wheels.” With its new T-plane triple engine, lightened girth, model distinctions, up-spec componentry, and cool looks even our editors can’t help but be excited with this middleweight ADV—heck, even Hollywood is stoked on it.

The GT and GT Pro are for urban adventures including long-distance touring, while the Rally and Rally Pro are dirt-designated with road-focused capability. All Tiger 900 models have an adjustable seat height, but if you need a little more, there is also the Tiger 900 GT Low Ride Height version available with unique suspension and lower seat.
