2009 TIGER 1050

Take one look and it's clear the Tiger is built to perform in more ways than one. It will scratch, tour and commute. Powered by a torquey 1050cc triple cylinder engine with an infectious sound and feel, it boasts the performance specification of a sports bike: braced swing arm, fully adjustable Showa USD forks, remote spring preload and rebound damping adjustable Showa rear monoshock, twin floating front discs with 4 piston radial calipers and 17 inch wheels with 120/180 profile sports tires.

Usability has always been a key benefit of all Triumph motorcycles and the Tiger retains this no matter what type of journey. There's no adventure too demanding.

A commanding view from the upright riding position makes overtaking and filtering easy through rush hour traffic. The muscular triple with powerful brakes and sporty chassis make carving through the twisties a real pleasure. And for the long haul the ergonomically designed seat with screen and fairing ensures comfort and control regardless of distance. A 5.2 gallon fuel tank and optional ABS add to the practicality.

FEATURES
(hover curser over picture for more information)

The Tiger’s engine delivers power and ear to ear grins. The amazing 1050cc, fuel-injected, three cylinder engine, known for its addictive character, has plenty of torque and impressive amounts of horsepower, with ample reserves of both for those two-up fully laden tours. Peak power of 113bhp is delivered at 9400rpm, with 74ft.lb torque at 6250rpm.
Engine
The comfortable, spacious seat and relaxed rider and passenger ergonomics mean you’ll arrive fresh even at the end of the longest day.
Seat
The Tiger screen gives great wind protection for those long journeys without obscuring your view around town.
Screen
High, wide bars give a comfortable riding position and excellent control at all speeds, from urban manoeuvring to motorway cruising.
Handlebars
The 43mm upside down fully adjustable forks and spring preload and rebound damping adjustable rear shock keeps the ride comfortable on the worst of roads and gives excellent control when the pace picks up.
Suspension
Triumph’s Antilock Braking System has been carefully designed to boost control under hard braking, working on both wheels independently. This unobtrusive system retains all the sensations of riding, operating at 100 calculations per second to sense the precise moment the wheel is about to lock up, then preventing it from doing so.  The system has been specifically tailored to the Tiger, with painstaking calibration over many months to ensure optimum braking performance.
