Triumph, the renowned motorcycle manufacturer, has unveiled a series of updates for its flagship Tiger 1200 range for the year 2024. While these changes may not be revolutionary, they represent significant advancements aimed at enhancing the overall riding experience for adventure enthusiasts.
Active Preload Reduction Standard
One of the standout features introduced in the updated Tiger 1200 range is the implementation of Active Preload Reduction as a standard feature across all models. This innovative technology automatically adjusts the rear suspension preload as the motorcycle decelerates to a stop. By simply pressing the ‘Home’ button on the switch cube for one second, riders can effortlessly lower the seat height by up to 20mm. This adjustment not only provides riders with greater confidence and control when coming to a stop but also ensures a more comfortable and accessible riding position for a wider range of riders.
Enhancements for Better Riding Experience
In addition to the groundbreaking Active Preload Reduction feature, Triumph has made several other enhancements to specific models within the Tiger 1200 lineup. For instance, on models like the GT Pro and GT Explorer, the footpeg positions have been strategically repositioned to offer increased cornering clearance. This adjustment enables riders to lean into corners more aggressively without the risk of scraping the motorcycle's components on the road surface.
Furthermore, Triumph has introduced dampened handlebars and risers on select models such as the GT Pro and Rally Pro. These enhancements are designed to minimize vibrations and improve overall ride quality, thereby ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable riding experience. Additionally, the improved visibility from the mirrors enhances situational awareness, further enhancing rider safety and confidence on the road.
Expected Pricing and Availability
Currently, the Triumph Tiger 1200 range is priced between Rs 19.19 lakh and Rs 21.69 lakh (ex-showroom, India). With the introduction of these updated models, it is anticipated that there may be a slight premium over the current pricing. However, the exact pricing details will be confirmed closer to the official launch date.
Riders can expect these updated Tiger 1200 models to offer improved functionality and enhanced riding dynamics, further solidifying Triumph's position as a leader in the adventure touring segment. With a host of innovative features and performance upgrades, the 2024 Tiger 1200 range is poised to deliver an unparalleled riding experience for adventure enthusiasts around the world.
