Triumph Tiger 900 Launch: What To Expect

The Triumph Tiger 900 is all set to be launched in India on June 19, 2020. Pre-bookings for the Triumph Tiger 900 have already begun in India. Customers can book the motorcycle by paying a token amount of Rs. 50,000. It has been in coming for a while and would have been launched much earlier but the Coronavirus crisis threw the proverbial spanner in the works. We rode the motorcycle a few months ago and were pleasantly surprised by what the motorcycle had to offer. The new Tiger 900 is a massive leap from the Tiger 800 in terms of performance, feature and one would say design as well. We tell you what you could expect from the new Triumph Tiger 900.

The new Tiger 900 will be launched in three variants in India. These are GT, Rally and Rally Pro. The Tiger 900 will be BS6 compliant as well. The GT range will be road-biased and gets alloy wheels along with less equipment. It will replace the Tiger 800 XR range. Similarly, the Rally and the Rally Pro models are the off-road biased variants and get more equipment as well such as wire-spoked wheels, tubeless tyres and so on. These will replace the Tiger 900 XC range in India.

The new-generation Tiger 900 gets an all-new design too. It was never a beautiful motorcycle but now, it looks lean and mean, especially with the slim LED headlamps, narrow waist and the short ADV beak. Thanks to a new frame, the Tiger 900 now weighs 5 kg lesser and the centre of gravity is lower too, having being moved 40 mm forward and 20 mm lower.

One of the biggest update is to the engine. The motorcycle now gets an 888 cc 3-cylinder engine with a unique 1-3-2 firing order. This results in a meatier exhaust note and offers a strong wave of torque throughout the rev range. The peak torque output has increased by 10 per cent to 87 Nm at 7,250 rpm. While power output remains the same, Triumph says there's 9 per cent more power in the mid-range, with the numbers being 94 bhp at 8,750 rpm.

We expect the pricing of the Triumph Tiger 900 range to begin at Rs. 12 lakh and go up to Rs. 16 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The top-spec Tiger 900 Rally Pro is expected to be priced at around Rs. 16 lakh. While Triumph had initially planned for a phase-wise introduction of the three variants, with the ongoing Coronavirus crisis, all three variants are expected to be launched together.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
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. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
