CAT’S OUTTA THE BAG

The all-new Triumph Tiger 900 has finally been launched in India in three variants; the GT, Rally and Rally Pro. Triumph India has skipped the base variant along with the GT Pro which features an electronically adjustable suspension, owing to costs. Talking about the India range, the GT is priced at `13.7 lakh while the Rally and Rally pro are priced at `14.35 and `15.5 lakh, respectively.

The new naming convention differentiates the two Tiger 900 iterations depending on their configurations. The GT, as the name suggests is road-biased and comes with 17-inch alloys at both ends wrapped with road-centric rubber while the seat height is low as well. The Rally on the other hand comes with 21-17in setup owing to its off-road intentions and of course, a taller but adjustable seat. The 888cc triple motor features a new 1-3-2 firing order and churns out 94bhp and 87Nm which is a marginal jump over the Tiger 800. You get top-of-the-line Brembo Stylema calipers on all the variants but the Rally pro also features LED fog lamps, heated rider and pillion seats, My Triumph connectivity system, bi-directional quickshifter and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Triumph India also launched the Black editions of Bonneville T100 and T120. The Black edition pays homage to the original 1959 Bonnie. The bikes are available in two new shades for each model and priced the same as the existing range at `8.87 lakh and `9.97 lakh respectively for the T100 and T120.
