Can anyone speak to the heat coming out of the radiator vent fans built into the fairing area? I test rode the Rally Pro model for 20-25 minutes on a combination of side streets and highway and was really shocked at the amount of heat blowing directly onto my knees. Other than that, I really like the bike and had planned to purchase one until I discovered this on the test ride. It gave me some concern that it was that hot after only a 20 minute test ride. I started to think what it would feel like after taking a 2-3 hour road trip. No one else had ridden that bike on that day so the bike was not hot from another rider before I test rode it. I've seen a couple people mention it on other reviews but people don't seem to be talking about it too much, possibly because the bike has just started to come in to the dealerships here in the US in the last 4-6 months or so.
I've got the same feelings. Like reviewers are afraid to tell something really negative about the bike. Maybe it was designed to be ridden in colder English weather. Today I was riding my Cb500x which does not heat at all (maybe a little on the left side) and it was 33 °C outside. If I would have another heat being produced around the knees, then I'd have to say goodbye to Triumph and pick the 900Xr or 850 GS. I'm glad my Honda does not grill me 😁
@@Freelancer919 LOL, grill you! Ha! Yes, I kind of have the same feeling about not many people mentioning it. The first I heard of it was when the guy from Drivemag Riders mentioned it in his youtube review so I made a mental note to check it out when I did my test ride. Sure enough, I noticed it within the first 10 minutes of riding. I totally understand (and appreciate) Triumph's engineering to split the radiator to try and dissipate heat, lower the engine and move it forward a bit more for a lower center of gravity. It definitely helps with handling of the bike. But, what I can't understand is why they have the fan vents blowing directly towards the rider, hitting them in the legs/knees. You would think they would have tried to direct the fan vents either down or out of the sides somehow. It's an odd design in my opinion. But again, it's definitely a sweet bike and I love the size, handling, power, electronics, etc. just not that vent fan design. When I got back to the dealership and mentioned the heat vent/fan issue to the sales guy, he got a funny look on his face like other people had mentioned that to him also but he didn't want to admit it. He tried to make it sound like it would be hardly noticeable with proper motorcycle pants (I was wearing jeans for the test ride), but sometimes I just like to ride with jeans instead of motorcycle pants. He also mentioned as the bike gets more "broken in" the heating issue should be less. I don't know if that's true or not but I don't really believe that. I do believe however, that motorcycle pants/gear would probably help. Needless to say, I am going to keep looking. I'm waiting for any new information to come out about the new middleweight Honda "baby" Africa Twin (possibly called Transalp) as well as the Norden 701 and 901. Maybe we'll here something about those bikes in September, or definitely in November at EICMA.
@@scottbaer EICMA 2020 is canceled. We hope to see it come back in 2021!
If that's the case, I can only imagine how hot it would get if the bike was ridden in a tropical country...
@@kenshiro882002 I road the Rally a week ago in Fort Worth TX and didn't notice any heat though I was mostly on the highway and I ride a Harley that roasts you well done. I rode a Honda VRF1200X a week before that and I did notice the heat from the fan. Its blistering hot down in TX right now.
I did my first 2750km on my new Tiger 900 GT (not the Pro; to much expensive for me) & i am really in love 😍. Great bike for twisty roads & very good on gravel/dirt roads; but, when OEM tires will be dead, i will install Michelin Anakee Adventure or Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR. Perfect bike for me. I dont need a 21 inches front wheel. After watching some reviews, i was afraid of the “to much vibey” engine; but, for me, its not vibey at all! Maybe its because my previous bike was a CB500X 😉. I bought the OEM Triumph crash bars, but not their thin aluminium skid plate; i will wait to buy a good after market 4mm thick aluminium skid plate (actually : none available). I also hope that knee grip pads will be soon available. Best regards from Montreal.
Hi Trekky, I also bought a GT, only last month and already have clocked 2500km! I just want to ride it all the time, amazing machine. I can vouch for everything you said. As for the bash plate check this link out. I have not bought it yet myself but may do in the future www.hepco-shop.de/en/engine-protection-plate-aluminium-for-triumph-tiger-900-rally-gt-pro-2020.html
Brakes are Dope 🤔 going to have to get my kids to translate young man 😆 And 'stuck a lemon in a jack Russell's mouth 😂 a certain Mr clarckson would be proud of that remark 😉 Great review though 👍🏻
Awesome bike...Triumph hit a home run!
Great review, thanks. Please can you do a comparison video between this Ralley Pro and the GT Pro. Very interesting in the difference between the roadhandling, not so much about the offroad differences then its rather obvious that the Ralley Pro handles that better. But what about roadhandling? Is the Ralley Pro equal to the GT? Is the Ralley Pro a real swiss army knife that just handles everything better or is the GT a better option when you just ride more onroad than offroads like me?
this bike is on gap between the crf african twin and r1200/1250gs
I rode the Rally version with the shield at it lowest position and had a half helmet on. At 90 mph it was great. Definitely my next bike (Rally Pro). Dallas roads are too rough for a Harley.
Great video, what is this bikes top speed ? And have you ridden the bmw f850gs, if so who would win in a drag race between the f850 and the tiger 900 ?
Pity they didn't make a 'smooth' version of the engine for the GT Pro. I did prefer the Rally Pro (I rode both).
Somebody know if it is suiteble for longer people. I am 1,92. Thanks.
1:14 is that bolt a little bit loose?
I am still so keen on the new 1200 😍
Great review..have you had any issues with the rear footrest C clip coming out when putting the centre stand down..your foot catching the retaining rear clip ?
Great review. Would’ve liked to have seen how it fits you though when you’re standing up. For some reason that’s barely covered in reviews. As a Guy who is 6 foot ‘2“, I need all the room I can get.
I have a 2019 Tracer 900 GT. Which engine is better, and which one can handle more miles?
Great video fantastic bike stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thank you!
Great review and a fantastic bike! Keen to hear your thoughts on the dash layout though. I've ridden the 2020 Street Triple RS and wasn't a fan of the layout, particularly with the twin bar-graph rev counters. Is this any better?
The same TFT. The previous TFT was better.
Really enjoyed your updated review from the launch - highlighted some great points!! I've done over 10,000 miles on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro and absolutely loving it. I'm not a hardcore off-road rider so I enjoy the comfort this bike offers for long-distance travelling and I feel very confident off-road with it as well as it handles really easily! Never had an issue with the steering lock before ... how odd ... I'll pay attention now, maybe I just got used to it haha
how many kilometers may you ride with a fuel tank ?
Good off-road review with street tires 🤦🏼♂️
Brilliant
yes gr8 review love the new Tigers. Imagine if they stuck a T-Plane in the upcoming (rumor) 1100+ Speed Triple!
4000 miles on my rally Pro. 50/50 riding on and off road in Colorado. Not sure why would you would do a review and not mention the brakes or suspension but maybe I missed it? Both are magnificent in my opinion. Triumph literally did everything that the rags told them to do to improve the tiger 800. I've literally seen reviews from so-called Pros that say it's too good. I've owned a KTM 690, tiger 1200, tiger 800, wr450 f and this bike is all of them welded into one in my opinion. Anybody that says this is not an off-road capable bike when the proper tires are mounted either cannot ride off road or is a complete tosser.
They even made the rear peg mounts and or tail section removable like everyone wanted. Triumph is really on their game lately. 🏆
I was going to post a stand alone reply but you've made my point. I'm also curious as to why Triumph didn't put more aggressive tires on the Pro model.
@@drrider1658 Because they knew that 95% of riders would never take it on a gravel road. I have been riding the stock tires for four thousand miles on all surfaces and have gotten by just fine. Mounting a pair of Dunlop trailmax missions in the next few weeks.
@@drrider1658 I wondered the same thing. Even if just a tire that looks more the part but it sounds like they are decent.
Eh? He talks about the brakes and suspension. You must have missed it.
Great review and agree 100%. Even the TFT has grown on me after 1,000 miles; just visualize the tacho as coming towards you.
Steering lock is really easy, look down at the key lock barrel you will see the silver lock bolt as you turn the key, the barrel has a mark on it, align the silver bolt and mark as you turn the key.
It's simple when you know how:-)
Looks like you had some awesome riding days at the launch in Morocco. My initial impression (of the Rally Pro) is that it is one of the most well-rounded adventure bikes available at the moment.
Nice bike; would be nice to hear the engine properly.
ess-aah-wee-raah
Please cut the music when you are talking, its annoying!
Followed my heart and not my head and traded in my 2017 Street Triple RS and brought the Rally Pro with the green tank and white frame what a bike, its bonkers real world fast. The Striple RS has more break horse power at 123bhp compared to the Tiger 900 T plane's 94bhp but the mid range torque of the Tiger 900 is there in any gear at any speed.
Thinking of doing the exact same thing with my 2017 RS, realised I spend more time doing weekend camping trips than twisty roads and wanted to start exploring more off road. How have you found the Tiger in comparison other than the power?
Lovely bike and a very good review. 👍😊
Thanks 🙌🙌
Please tell us more about this absolutely stunning desert 🏜️ 😍
Great review. Thanks!
71MPG are you serious?
Great analysis.Thks.
Aweosome bike
Amazing as always ❤️❤️✌️
Thank you so much 😀
It's a great bike, but Africa Twin, Multistrada and the Tenere 700 would be better choiced
Better choice for what? The T7 has no cruise control, the Duck is a street bike, and the AT has more switches on the handlebar than a 747s dash.
Off road this is better than the Too heavy Africa twin and GS. Multistrada is pure road really and the Yam is more basic.
@@srhintz For your wallet. The 900 Rally is almost $15-16k in USA. T7 is ~10k and 2019 AT's can be bought for much below MSRP.
@@rusipathan 19 AT doesn't have cruise does it? No go. The Rally Pro is $15700 but I think there will be some deals once the freshness wears off. Go ride that thing. Awesome.
Way too much talking, needs more audio of the bike/riding by itself.
