Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2020

In the beginning, Man began to walk. Then he dominated animals to lead him across the winds. Then he created the roads and spread them across the Earth. Then he created the machine to rule the roads. His thirst for conquest ends up being overtaken by the machine.

Then Triumph created the Tiger 900 GT Pro. And the man understood that the motorcycle could exceed his desires.

When it comes time to treat yourself to a road-oriented trail, you can choose to be wise with an average displacement or less reasonable with a high volume. But you can also burn the wallet while staying in the mid-size. This is the case with certain machines like the Multistrada 950 S, the Turismo Veloce Lusso or this over-equipped Tiger. As if the 900 Tiger GT had plunged into the catalog of accessories like Obelix in the magic potion. (Without overweight).

It’s the same with cars. The base model draws you into the dealership until a gourmet version gets your heart pumping. You come out having lost a few golden teeth and recovered a machine ready for standing as well as for walks of all sizes..

The equipment goes high-end. In addition to all the equipment of the base 900 Tiger + that of the GT, the Pro recovers luminescence officers with turn signals that convert to LEDs as well as a pair of additional headlights. Then, it’s practicality and comfort on multiple levels. The heated grips are already present on the GT, so give it the support of the pilot and passenger saddles, also heated. The tire pressure is controlled by sensors, the shifting of gears assisted by a shifter and the rear suspension is regulated with an electronic system. The adjustment is made on the preload with four available settings (" Pilot ", " Pilot and luggage ", " Pilot and passenger " and " Pilot, baggage and passenger ") and relaxation with nine levels. A few bits of light are hidden under the controls to provide backlighting of the controls. Also, the Driving Modes go from 4 to 5 (Rain, Road, Sport, Off-road and the programmable Rider) and Bluetooth connectivity is installed to be able to interact with your smartphone. This allows the control of music, calls, certain functions, to have a simplified navigation system; and pairing also allows you to control a GoPro. Do not forget an element of pure happiness during certain technical operations: the central stand.

Let’s try to summarize all of this in a not short list. The Tiger 900 GT Pro is:

– A new 3-cylinder block with more displacement (888 cm3) and torque (8.9 mkg at 7250 rpm)

It’s dense, it’s rewarding, and it hits. Approximately 15,000 balls, that leaves a lot of food for thought. Consider that even if it is less well equipped, an 1100 Africa Twin is more accessible. One can find amazing to fall for a machine of this caliber displayed at a price as heavy as the list. In addition, no serial suitcases or any luggage. However, the triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro may interest many people. After all, the machine dominated man. But for him only the pleasure that his lustful executioner could give him counted. And the Man judged this to be good. For him.
