2027 Triumph Tiger 1200: more power, radars and smaller wheels
Triumph has updated the Tiger 1200 for the 2027 model year. The 1200 cc triple now makes 158 hp, up 8 hp, and the bike gains front and rear radar plus a 7-inch touchscreen. The range stays at four versions: GT Pro, Rally Pro, GT Explorer and Rally Explorer.
The controversial change hits the Rally models. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels give way to 19 and 17 inches, same as the GT, and suspension travel drops from 220 to 200 mm. Triumph cites customer feedback and sharper road handling. A big front wheel generally suits serious off-roading better, so not every Rally fan will be happy.
The SHOWA semi-active suspension now drops the seat by 30 mm as you stop and restores the height when you pull away. With the low seat option, standstill seat height falls to 790 mm. The Bosch radars bring adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, blind spot assist and emergency brake assist.
- Peak power — 158 hp at 9,250 rpm
- Fuel tank — 20 L (Pro), 30 L (Explorer)
- UK price — from £18,295
- Dealer arrivals — from December 2026
