Triumph Tiger 1050

Described as a versatile motorcycle, the Triumph 1050 comes with a tall (835mm/32.87inch) riding position that offers an enhanced view over the traffic and a comfortable riding position.

“A truly versatile motorcycle, the Triumph Tiger 1050 is a rare creature, one that is equally at home in the urban jungle or wide open prairies,” a company statement reads. “It is this ability to do all things equally well that has made the Tiger 1050 one of Triumph’s best selling models in recent years and given it a huge following around the world.”

Power comes from a 115PS version of Triumph’s 1050cc triple engine which delivers 98Nm (72.3 lb.ft.) of torque at just 6250rpm. The aluminium twin spar frame features a braced aluminium swingarm and light 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with sporting road tires.

Engine
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 115PS (113bhp) is delivered at 9400rpm, with 100Nm (74ft.lbf) torque at 6250rpm.

Seat
The comfortable, spacious seat and relaxed rider and pillion ergonomics mean you’ll arrive fresh even at the end of the longest day.

Handlebars
High, wide bars give a comfortable riding position and excellent control at all speeds, from urban manoeuvring to motorway cruising.

Suspension
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.

Screen
The Tiger screen gives great wind protection for those long journeys without obscuring your view around town.

ABS
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.
