The Tiger have been long overdue an upgrade. It was one of the last models to still feature the 955 engine and now Triumph have launched a new Tiger with the 1050 triple engine, new chassis and brand new styling. We politely asked specifically for the albino Tiger, Triumph replied; Fusion white, its Fusion white!

In an ideal world you would be able to take one bike, go offroad with it, and then take it to a track day in Spain and tour back home on it. However that is nearly impossible due to this planet’s complex nature with complex surfaces. Triumph has reintroduced the Tiger as a much more capable sporting machine. There are still more suspensionthanona sportbike, but upside-down fork, radial brake callipers, stronger swingarm and 114bhp shouts sport rather than the old more adventure styled 955. We racked up more than 1.000 miles on the first production Tiger 1050 to hit the roads.
