The Tiger has always been one of the most popular bikes in Triumph’s range. Its sharp lines and performance spec make the Tiger’s sporting credentials clear from a glance, its stunning looks hide a practical streak. The relaxed riding position, spacious seat, supple suspension and tractable torquey engine guarantee you arrive fresh at the end of the longest day.

It really shines is on bitumen, where the longish travel suspension (medium travel, actually) works in its favour on less than perfect tar. It has good grip - there are several options out there when it comes to rally tyres - and the steering has plenty of feedback.

It’s about medium on the turn-in with the wide bars requiring little effort to influence proceedings. Cornering clearance really isn’t an issue on the road.
