Advanced Powertrain

For 2023, the Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer has an upgraded engine and transmission. The liquid-cooled inline 3-cylinder engine for unsurpassed low-speed balance and maneuverability in cornering. In addition, the 12-valve DOHC new Tiger engine displacement of 13.2:1 provides 147 HP / 150PS and max power at 9,000 rpm. A 6-speed gearbox makes cruising at any speed possible. The Tiger 1200 has a shaft drive and a hydraulic controlling 130 NM – 95 Lb/Ft of torque at 7,000 rpm.

Continental Touring

Triumph motorcycles and the Tiger 1200 are legendary for touring the countryside, especially in England, where Triumph started in the 1880s. They continue this touring tradition with a bike that enjoys the open road and cornering across long distances. The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer has a 9.8-gallon fuel tank. Depending on off-road conditions and how well the bike runs, you could get up to 370 miles on one tank. A more reasonable average range of around 250 miles is common under cruise control conditions.

Road and Rider-Friendly Exhaust System

Rally models excel at making adventure bikes blend in with other traffic engine sounds. Triumph does this with a two-muffler system that produces less exhaust noise. The Tiger 1200 and other Explorer models have three cylinders connected to stainless steel headers that attach to the hidden primary muffler under the seat. The resulting exhaust noise mingles with other traffic.

Upgraded Chassis

With 7.8 inches of vertical wheel suspension space, the Tiger uses a semi-active damping monoshock called a Showa with automatic electronic adjustment for smooth travel over bumps and potholes. The front wheel forks have equal wheel space on semi-active damping USD compression cylinders under the handlebars. The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer weighs in at 562 lbs. With an adjustable seat height, footpegs, handguards, and ergonomics, the Rally Explorer fit most riders.
