Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro
2026 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro: 108 hp off-road adventure bike, 888 cc triple, 228 kg, from €17,395. Full specs, press reviews and rivals.
At a glance
The Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is the off-road version of the Tiger 900: a 21-inch spoked front wheel, long-travel Showa suspension and an 888 cc, 108 hp triple. Priced from €17,395 in France, it comes very well equipped (quickshifter, cruise control, heated seats and grips, engine protection), and the foreign press ranks it among the best middleweight adventure bikes, on road and trail alike. Its tall seat, 228 kg and slow dash are its main drawbacks, and a new Tiger 900 will be unveiled on 15 December 2026.

Press ratings
As capable as ever off-road, progressive Showa suspension, good standing position and a torquier engine; tall seat for shorter riders.
Impressive but rather firm Showa suspension off-road, an engine with low-down torque and a strong top end, cutting-edge electronics; dash a little slow to boot.
Versatile on and off road, flexible engine, good ergonomics; suspension too soft for pure off-road use and a slow-booting dash.
Outstanding triple off-road, excellent comfort for rider and passenger, modest fuel use and very rich equipment; fork dives under braking.
The most versatile Tiger 900: finish, chassis, engine, suspension and electronics; vibrations above 5,500 rpm, menu ergonomics, bodywork easily scratched by the knees.
Press synthesis
What the world’s press says
Reviews cover the 2024 generation, technically identical to the 2026 model year. The 90/100 average is based on three numeric scores: MCN gives it 5/5, Motorcycle.com 90/100 and Bennetts BikeSocial 4/5 (a score shared by the GT Pro and the Rally Pro). Visordown, RevZilla, 1000PS, Moto.it and Le Repaire des Motards tested it without a numeric score.
What reviewers like: a torquier, smoother and more economical triple; genuine off-road ability (MCN now sees it as “a serious contender for the crown”, RevZilla reckons you will find your limits long before the bike’s); quality Showa suspension; powerful Brembo brakes that remain easy to modulate on dirt; long-distance comfort, passenger included; very comprehensive standard equipment. Motorcycle.com recommends it over the GT Pro whenever the seat height allows, and Visordown sees it as the “Swiss Army knife” of the two-wheeled world.
What they criticise: 228 kg carried high, noticeable at low speed; a tall seat for shorter riders; a slow-booting dash and menus that could be better; road-biased original tyres (Bridgestone Battlax Adventure), most off-road tests being done on Michelin Anakee Wild; slight vibrations at high revs.
Where they disagree: damping, rather firm for RevZilla and a little abrupt early in the stroke for MCN, but too soft for pure off-road riding according to 1000PS; and the footpegs, too small for Motorcycle.com, decently sized for RevZilla.
Key quotes
"These subtle changes for the 2024 machine have improved the ride quality, engine characteristics and its off-roading ability, meaning that it is now a serious contender for the crown."
"If you can stomach the 33.9-inch seat height and the $500 price difference, I would go with the Rally Pro. Every. Single. Time."
"If you’re looking for the Swiss Army knife of the two-wheeled world, I think Triumph might have just released it."
"The Rally Pro is a bike that begs you to test your limits, because you'll find them long before the bike reaches its limit."
"Undoubtedly the most convincing and charming, the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is also the most versatile."

Our review
Which Tiger 900 Rally Pro in France?
The Tiger 900 Rally Pro is the off-road version of the Tiger 900 range. Where the Tiger 900 GT Pro runs 19- and 17-inch cast wheels with Marzocchi suspension, the Rally Pro gets 21- and 17-inch tubeless spoked wheels and long-travel Showa suspension. Since the 2024 generation there has been no plain Rally: Triumph only sells the fully equipped Pro version. Triumph France also offers the Desert Edition, a special edition built on the Rally Pro.
This page covers the 2026 model year. The current generation dates from 2024; for 2026, Triumph only changed the colours, adding two new schemes (Snowdonia White and Graphite, Sapphire Black and Triumph Performance Yellow). Triumph has also announced a new Tiger 900, with a more powerful engine and an upgraded chassis, whose full specification will be revealed on 15 December 2026.
How much does it cost?
Triumph France lists the Tiger 900 Rally Pro from €17,395 in Snowdonia White and Graphite; Carbon Black and Sapphire Black, the standard colour of the 2024 and 2025 model years, is still offered at the same price. Sapphire Black and Triumph Performance Yellow or Ash Grey and Intense Orange cost €17,695, and Matt Khaki Green and Matt Phantom Black €17,845. The Desert Edition, which adds an Akrapovič silencer and fuel tank protection bars, costs €17,795. The Rally Pro is €1,000 more than the GT Pro. For any Tiger 900 ordered and delivered between 1 and 31 October 2026, Triumph France throws in a two-pannier kit. In the United States, it starts at $17,595.
How good is the engine?
The 888 cc triple with its T-plane crank (an uneven firing interval, in 1-3-2 order, that gives it a twin-like feel low down) makes 108 hp (79.5 kW) at 9,500 rpm and 90 Nm at 6,850 rpm. For 2024, Triumph revised the pistons, cylinder head, camshafts, intake trumpets and exhaust: compression rose from 11.27:1 to 13.0:1 according to BikeSocial, while power is up 13% and fuel consumption down 9% according to Triumph.
MCN finds it stronger throughout the rev range and smoother at the very bottom. Moto.it calls it “a marvel” off-road, able to pull from revs no twin-cylinder rival can manage. The two-way quickshifter (Triumph Shift Assist, for clutchless up- and downshifts) is standard. Le Repaire des Motards reports slight vibrations through the grips and footpegs from around 5,000 rpm.
How does it ride on and off the road?
The 45 mm Showa upside-down fork (240 mm of travel) is adjustable for preload, compression and rebound; the Showa shock (230 mm) for preload and rebound. Braking relies on two Brembo Stylema calipers and 320 mm discs. Triumph quotes 228 kg wet, a 1,551 mm wheelbase, 24.4° of rake and 116.8 mm of trail. For 2024, the handlebars moved back 15 mm to make standing up easier, and a damped mounting cuts vibrations.
On the road, Motorcycle.com only notes slightly slower turn-in than the GT Pro despite the 21-inch wheel; BikeSocial also finds the steering slower but praises the quality of the Showa units. MCN finds the initial fork stroke a little abrupt under hard braking and notes that the weight, carried high, shows at low speed. Off-road, opinions on damping differ: RevZilla finds it on the firm side, 1000PS too soft for pure off-road use. Motorcycle.com criticises small, road-biased footpegs, which RevZilla on the contrary finds decently sized.
What electronics and equipment?
The Rally Pro has six riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road, Off-Road Pro and Rider (customisable). In Off-Road mode, ABS only works on the front wheel and traction control is no longer lean-sensitive (according to BikeSocial); Off-Road Pro switches ABS and traction control off completely. On the road, ABS and traction control are cornering-optimised thanks to an IMU (a sensor that measures the bike’s lean), and linked braking automatically adds some rear brake when you use the front. The rear light flashes rapidly under emergency braking.
Standard equipment also includes cruise control, heated grips and heated rider and passenger seats, tyre pressure monitoring, a centre stand, engine protection bars and an aluminium sump guard enlarged for 2024, the 7-inch colour TFT and My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity (phone, music, turn-by-turn navigation). A frequent criticism: the dash is slow to boot (BikeSocial, MCN, 1000PS).
Fuel consumption and maintenance
Triumph quotes 4.7 L/100 km, giving a range of about 425 km from the 20-litre tank. MCN recorded the equivalent of 4.7 to 5.1 L/100 km on the road and about 5.7 L/100 km off-road; BikeSocial measured about 6.1 L/100 km in mixed, hard riding. Triumph specifies a service every 10,000 km or every year and, since 2024, a valve clearance check every 18,000 miles (about 29,000 km) instead of 12,000 miles, which the manufacturer says cuts servicing costs by 27% (figures reported by MCN and Motorcycle.com). The warranty is 2 years with unlimited mileage.
Recalls
No recall was found for the 2024-2026 generation (NHTSA, RappelConso). In the United States, the first generation was recalled in 2020 (NHTSA 20V-451) because the rear reflectors could come loose on some 2020 Tiger 900 models, including the Rally Pro.
Who is it for?
The Rally Pro requires a full A licence: at 79.5 kW it is above the 70 kW limit beyond which a bike cannot be restricted for the A2 licence, and Triumph offers no A2 version of the Rally Pro (only the GT Pro comes in A2 form). Its 860-880 mm seat, which the optional low seat drops by 20 mm, suits medium to tall riders best. It is aimed at riders who want to travel far, two-up and loaded, without giving up on trails: RevZilla points out that Iván Cervantes won the Trail category of the 2022 Baja Aragón on a stock Rally Pro. Its rivals include the BMW F 900 GS, the KTM 890 Adventure R, the Husqvarna Norden 901 and the Honda Africa Twin.

The Rally Pro puts the rider upright behind wide handlebars (935 mm overall), moved back 15 mm in 2024 to feel more natural when standing on the pegs, and fitted to a damped mounting that filters out vibrations. The seat, flatter and thicker since 2024, adjusts from 860 to 880 mm; an optional heated low seat drops it by 20 mm. Visordown and BikeSocial warn shorter riders to plan where they put their feet down, even though the bike is narrow where it matters. The screen adjusts with one hand over 50 mm in five positions: MCN finds it protective and free of buffeting even in its highest position, while Le Repaire des Motards would like it wider to shield the shoulders and arms. Moto.it and 1000PS praise passenger comfort, and both the rider and passenger seats are heated, each with its own switch. Motorcycle.com also likes the taller, less swept-back bars of the Rally Pro, which open up the riding position for tall riders compared with the GT Pro.

Warranty
2 years / Unlimited mileage
Triumph specifies a service every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Since the 2024 generation, the valve clearance check comes every 18,000 miles (about 29,000 km) instead of 12,000 miles, and Triumph claims a 27% reduction in servicing costs (figures reported by MCN and Motorcycle.com). MCN considers the first generation fairly dependable, despite a few early issues Triumph set out to fix. If you ride trails often, budget for knobbly tyres (Visordown and Motorcycle.com mention the Triumph-approved Michelin Anakee Wild) and more frequent final-drive care: the O-ring chain needs regular cleaning and lubrication, especially after mud or sand. The standard protection (engine bars and aluminium sump guard) limits damage in the low-speed tip-overs that are common when you start riding off-road. No recall was found for the current generation. Triumph France’s warranty is 2 years with unlimited mileage, and genuine accessories carry the same warranty.
