Tiger 1200 Specifications

The Triumph Tiger 1200 is powered by a 1160cc liquid-cooled, DOHC inline three-cylinder engine - the same architecture that made the Tiger 800 and 900 popular among Indian touring riders, now scaled up to full-size adventure-tourer territory. In the 2025 update, Triumph has tuned the engine for stronger low-end response, which matters on the kinds of roads Indian riders actually use: third-gear climbs on Spiti valley tracks, slow-moving NH44 traffic, and the occasional Kerala ghat section.

Peak power is 150 PS at 9,000 rpm, with 130 Nm of torque arriving at 7,000 rpm. That torque figure beats the Ducati Multistrada V4's 125 Nm, even though the Ducati makes more peak power (170 PS). In real-world riding, the Tiger's inline-3 character - progressive, linear, never peaky - makes it the easier and less fatiguing engine for 600 km touring days.

The ARAI-certified mileage is 18.8 kmpl, and owners consistently report 18-20 kmpl at cruising speeds on highways. Combined with the Explorer variant's 30-litre tank, that gives a real-world range of roughly 500-540 km on a full tank - enough for most Rajasthan or Himalayan touring days without a fill-up stop.

Kerb weight is 246 kg - heavier than the BMW R 1300 GS at 237 kg but lighter than the Ducati Multistrada V4 at 260 kg. The 850 mm seat height is standard across all variants (both GT and Rally). Triumph also quotes a 200 mm front suspension travel on the GT Pro's 49 mm Showa inverted fork.

Brakes are twin 320 mm discs at the front (4-piston Brembo calipers) and a single 282 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel switchable cornering ABS as standard. The system uses a 6-axis IMU for cornering ABS and traction control - a feature that used to be reserved for bikes costing twice as much.
