New Triumph Tiger 900 Launch Details Revealed

It is no secret that the next launch from Triumph Motorcycles India will be the Tiger 900 middleweight adventure bike. While it was supposed to be launched in India in May itself, but the COVID-19 pandemic threw a spanner in the works. Nonetheless, Triumph will be launching the new Tiger 900 in the middle of June 2020. An exact launch date should be coming your way in a few days from now. The Tiger 900 is a significant leap over the Tiger 800 in terms of design, usability, engine performance and even features. It definitely justifies the tag of 'all-new' in this case. The motorcycle of course, will be launched digitally.

(India will not get the Tiger 900 GT Pro variant for now.)

In the latest episode of Freewheeling with SVP, Shoeb Farooq, Business Head, Triumph Motorcycles India, said, "The first of the launches (In June 2020) that we are looking at is of course the Tiger 900, which ideally, we were really keen to launch it in May, but for various reasons, it is getting pushed to June now, mid of June as well. It is perhaps the most anticipated motorcycle from our stable this year. We are really looking forward to that launch. So, that's the first launch. We have a couple of more classics to add."

The new Tiger 900 will be launched in three variants in India. These are GT, Rally and Rally Pro. Needless to say, the Tiger 900 will be BS6 compliant as well. This is the first time that the top-spec variant of the Tiger will be coming to India along with the other variants. The GT range will replace the Tiger 800 XR range and get alloy wheels, primarily meant for touring on tarmac. The Rally range will replace the Tiger 800 XC range, getting more equipment along with wire-spoked wheels shod with tubeless tyres and will be more off-road friendly.

What has also changed is it offers more peak torque - 87 Nm at 7,250 rpm (up from 79 Nm at 8,050 rpm) and the mid-range gets a 12 per cent boost. Peak power though remains the same with 94 bhp at 8,750 rpm. There are bunch of updates to the electronics and other features as well. You can read all about it HERE.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
