Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro 2024: Enhanced Adventure, Refined Performance

The 2024 Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro represents the latest in refinement and technology within the adventure motorcycle space. Triumph has made several upgrades to this already well-regarded model, enhancing everything from engine precision to rider comfort, making the Tiger 1200 GT Pro a top choice for road-focused adventure riders seeking long-distance comfort with advanced capabilities.

Advanced T-Plane Triple Engine for Precision and Control

The 1160cc T-Plane triple engine has received updates that bring an even smoother and more responsive riding experience. Triumph’s engineering team has made adjustments to the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balancer, increasing engine inertia and refining low-speed torque delivery. This improved engine behavior makes the Tiger 1200 GT Pro feel smoother during acceleration and deceleration, especially at lower speeds. Triumph has also implemented a new clutch design for a seamless first-gear engagement, which adds to the refined feel of this model.

The updates to the T-Plane engine maintain the powerful and distinctive triple character that Triumph riders love, combining a thrilling riding experience with enhanced control at any speed.

Comfort-Enhanced Touring

Triumph has focused on providing all-day comfort for riders, crucial for those looking to cover long distances with ease. The updated GT Pro model now includes dampened handlebars and risers, which were initially introduced in the Explorer models. This addition reduces handlebar vibration, improves mirror visibility, and gives a smoother, more comfortable ride across diverse road conditions.

The rider’s seat has been redesigned with a flatter profile, creating more room and reducing fatigue on longer rides. Additionally, a longer clutch lever and an accessory low seat (20mm lower) offer enhanced comfort and customization for individual rider preferences, allowing for a seat height as low as 830mm on the GT Pro model.

Improved Ground Clearance and Active Preload Reduction

The Tiger 1200 GT Pro’s cornering ground clearance has been increased by repositioning the footpegs, lifting them closer to the bike for a more dynamic, responsive ride through corners. This improvement gives riders added confidence, especially in challenging curves.

One of the standout new features is the Active Preload Reduction, which allows for a reduction in rear suspension preload as the bike slows to a stop. Riders can activate this function by pressing the ‘Home’ button on the switch cube for one second, lowering the seat height by up to 20mm. This feature helps shorter riders or those seeking an easier reach to the ground when stationary, adding to the bike’s accessibility and overall rider confidence.

Stunning New Colors for 2024

Triumph has introduced new color options for the Tiger 1200 lineup. The GT Pro and GT Explorer models are now available in an eye-catching Carnival Red, in addition to the classic Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black. The new colorways add to the visual appeal of the Tiger 1200 range, making these bikes stand out on the road.

A Global Impact and Continued Success

Since its initial launch in 2021, the Tiger 1200 family has been designed as the ultimate adventure motorcycle—one that combines agility, capability, and maneuverability. The Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, with its impressive 30-liter tank, has even set a Guinness World Record for the longest distance covered in 24 hours on a motorcycle, thanks to Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes. This accomplishment is a testament to the Tiger 1200's engineering excellence and its place among the top adventure motorcycles worldwide.

Triumph's Commitment to Rider Feedback

Steve Sargent, Triumph’s Chief Product Officer, highlighted that the 2024 updates are part of Triumph’s ongoing commitment to listening to rider feedback and improving the riding experience. Triumph has integrated new enhancements to deliver a significantly more refined ride, broadening the Tiger 1200's appeal on a global scale. With the latest updates, the Tiger 1200 GT Pro delivers a smooth, comfortable, and dynamic riding experience, making it a leader in the adventure touring segment.
