Those are some great improvements, especially 13% more power for the road! Time to talk to the wife about an upgrade…… (upgrading the bike, not her 😂)

got a 660 which I love, but the new 900 looks really nice; looking forward to a test drive!

Had a test drive yesterday on the GT Pro. Very easy to drive, nice grunt from the AKRAPOVIČ, easy to manoeuvre in traffic, which was a surprise. The tech is an upgrade from my 660, but it could be a bit fast, and it does take quite a long time for the display to be ready after turning the key; just something you need to get used to, I suppose. I wish more bikes had Carplay.

I have one on order. It is sad to read that the mode-switching restriction is still there. It's so annoying. Great review!

Here one with Gt 2024. I just have fog lights and Triumph shift assist. I believe is enough. Too much tech for me, and preload behind is used rarely once u get what u feel is ok. From my point of view, one of the best bikes in versatility u can get. I tried gt off road (nothing risky) and i had very good feeling. Also i can say with no doubt, is one of the easiest rides, very light, good response. A bit vibration, but i like it, we ride a bike, not a car. Bad things to say something, still heat on ur knees, trolley in this bikes are huge compared with my versys, were more integrated. Enjoy

So, for the average GT Pro, road rider/owner, there's not enough changes to warrant an early PX of their existing Triumph Tiger GT Pro. No better a dash, and only a little bit more power above 5krpm, where the bike seldom goes ( Except for bragging rights down the pub). Thanks for the review. Im constantly Inundated by Triumph marketing emails, though they've not really plugged the new bike, but then it'll sell well anyway, because, even with its minor faults, it's still a great bike.

Seldom goes over 5k RMP? Speak for yourself old man! But yes if you have the previous generation of course you shouldn't take a massive financial hit for 13% more power. Give it a few more years, get your money's worth from that bike. And please for the love of god, do yourself a favor and twist that throttle once a while lol.

My question Adam is how does it compare to the Norden 901 offroad. On road they would be fairly similar I believe but how does the offroad handling, balance and poise compare to those bikes with the low-slung saddle fuel tanks and their lower centre of gravity? Does the Tiger carry its weight up high or does it hide it well? Can you feel that extra weight over the Norden?

It’s worth the change, just to get rid of those gash rev counters!

Would there be a big difference with road handling on the new 900 Rally Pro to my GTPRO 900 ive got now

I am looking for a 80-20 mix of highway touring & off-roading. Which one do u suggest: 850 GS or 900 GT ?

The Showa suspension on the Rally Pro is much better suited for that. The Rally Pro on road handles better than expected given it has a 21" front wheel.

They could've worked on reducing some weight. The upcoming bmw f900 gsa is touted at 219 kgs if I'm not wrong (don't know the exact version cos everything is an optional accessory on that it would seem).

I test road it in November at 7 C temperature. I can't recall if I used first or middle heat setting. But I remember that it was plenty warm and not the highest setting. Maybe you use a really thick gloves and that's the issue? People also to me complained about Honda heated grips. Toured Europe with NC750X 2021 model, and never ran them on the hottest setting (except for a very short time until it starts to feel too hot) even if it's < 10 C and raining all day. But I don't use winter gloves, I use normal gloves, thus grips are always hot enough and keep my hand warm.

@@PovilasPanavas Yes, I have tried summer gloves and thick palmed winter gloves. The summer gloves do allow some heat to come through however, in the winter, the top of the hand is cold. Wearing winter gloves where the palm is thicker, the heat does not penetrate through the glove. Using the same pair of winter gloves, I ride my BSA Gold Star where I have fitted Oxford touring heated grips. Using the Oxfordshire, the problem completely disappears and my hands are nice and warm. Back to the Tiger, I have now resorted to heated gloves where the palm materials is relatively thin. The weak heat radiation from the Tiger grips does now work to a greater or lesser degree and with the heated gloves, my hands are now what I would call acceptable. Riding the BSA, I do not need to wear the heated gloves as the Oxfords are more than powerful. This is a problem across the Triumph range, not just the Tiger but Triumph do not appear to recognise there is some sort of issue.

Something reviewers of Rally Pro’s are very poor at is referencing the fact that to get the most out of off-road modes, you need to manually adjust the suspension. This changes the rake angle of the front tyre and makes a big difference to off road performance. I hope therefore that when you put this bike up against others in its class, that you will set it up accordingly. Otherwise the review will be flawed. Thanks!

@logangodofcandy

It's the 900. It's gonna be the same. It doesn't even have a difference until you hit over 6000rpm.

You simply can not blame preload on the rear for any rider scrapping pegs. As it’s more about body positioning and corner entry control. No doubt preload plays a role, just not the first part as a great rider can adapt with the required skills.

There is no rear preload setting on 900 gt pro. How did you setup the preload for your weight? Solo rider means no preload at all. That is why they were scraping pegs. GT pro does not let you setup preload for your own weight and riding style. Huge triumph omission. By the way you cannot change rear preload on the go. You have to stop for it to actualy change.
