Triumph Tiger 1050
Simply revising the 2012 Triumph
Tiger 1050 before completely updating the model in 2013, Triumph has announced
that the Tiger 1050 will get stiffer suspension components for the next model
year, along with some cosmetic changes. Including improved dampening and a
stiffer spring for the rear shock (108 to 139N/mm.), the British company hopes
the revised suspension will give the Triumph Tiger 1050 better feel when
traversing the roadway. Other mechanical changes include new handlebars that are
20mm lower than before, meaning the larger Tiger will have a slightly sportier
riding position for 2012.
- Updated for 2012 with revised ergonomics, improved
suspension and numerous detail changes Triumph’s popular Tiger 1050 has been given a sporty new look
for 2012 with an improved specification, new colours and
graphics.
Sit astride the Tiger 1050 and you will understand just why
so many year-round riders choose one as their daily ride. The
tall (835mm) riding position gives the rider a commanding view
over the traffic, with the well appointed saddle facilitating
comfortable While the Tiger 1050 is perfectly at home on the commute and open highway, it is on twisting roads where it really excels. Triumph has endowed the Tiger 1050 with a chassis that would not be out of place on a sports bike. The aluminium twin spar frame features a braced aluminium
swingarm and light 17” alloy wheels fitted with sporting road
tyres. The 43mm inverted front forks are fully adjustable for
preload, rebound and compression damping, with the rear
monoshock unit also The result is a more controlled ride, both solo and with a passenger, with reduced dive under braking. The rear suspension unit spring rate has gone up from 108 to 139 N/mm, a 29% increase, to improve body control and two-up handling. The Tiger 1050’s effortless power comes from a 115PS version of Triumph’s legendary 1050cc triple which delivers 98Nm of torque at just 6250rpm. Braking comes from twin four-piston radial calipers gripping
320mm front discs. Combined with the commanding riding position,
the Tiger 1050’s chassis and engine combination adds up to a
motorcycle that inspires confidence and is deceptively easy to
ride. With a fuel capacity of 20 Litres
New graphics adorn the fairing of the 2012 Tiger 1050, with a number of items ‘dechromed’ for a more contemporary look. Wheels, sprocket carrier and brake calipers are among the many components to now feature a black finish and are complemented by graphite footrest hangers and control plates, while silencers and heel guards now take on a brushed, rather than polished, steel finish. The standard Tiger 1050 comes in Triumph’s metallic Phantom Black, while the SE version offers three colour options: Diablo Red, Crystal White and a two-tone Matt Black/Matt Graphite combination. The higher specification Tiger 1050SE also benefits from Triumph’s ABS braking system, as well as the standard fitment of handguards, centre stand and 43 litre panniers, optional extras on the standard Tiger 1050.
