- Triumph's all-new Tiger gets overhauled for 2020 with a larger 900cc engine and no bolt left untouched. We got a chance to put the Tiger 900 Rally Pro through its paces in the Moroccan Desert to find out if it's truly a major step forward. Full review at: www.advpulse.c...
Check out the full review at: www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/triumph-tiger-900-review/
the new 1200 from triumph should see improve and the gap should be closed now i am thinking of getting the tiger 900 and take it rally racing like darker racing type of event also i am really liking what people are saying about the tiger 900 so far mate
I really appreciate this review. I’ve seen just about all the reviews coming out of the company sponsored trip to Morocco and having done so, it becomes easy to see in most of them the company marketing points being regurgitated back at you. Your review covers the important details of the bike’s functioning coming from your own experience as a rider. Using the video with arrows to illustrate your points really helped me to understand what you are saying. Technical but not boring. The points you make and illustrate shows me that your approval of the bike is genuine. Well done. Thanks.
yep - great review -
Excellent review one of the best I have seen in a long while. Thank you.
We own a GT(wife) and a Rally Pro for myself. Your review is quite accurate. On the road, although it feels smaller, I do like the GT, it’s a tad smoother and less rebound in the front end. I’m sure you could tune that out of the rally but it’s all manual adjustment and not worth the time to go back and forth on. The GT is electric adjustable and you can adjust the ride on the fly, very nice setup. At 6’5” I feel more comfortable on the Rally, my weight is 200lbs so I’m not huge, just a lot of leg and I love how tall the rally pro is. Honestly I’m amazed how how nice both machines are for the price....
Hi Mark. I am same size and wonder after 3 years on the rally pro , are you still as happy with the position ? I am thinking of buying one
Really professional review, covered a lot good job.
This might be the best review I have seen. Very forthright, very detailed. So many insights. Great video footage demonstrating the review perspective. Loved the ending regarding comparisons to other ADV bikes. This was great stuff. Anyone who is seriously looking to buy should watch this video. ..... Great job!
Thank you! Appreciate you saying that
hi Steve, really good to ride with you on that day, thanks for including me in your filming !!! great intelligent and honest review of the Tiger 900 !!! would love to welcome you to Wales at the Triumph Adventure Experience any time, hope you are healthy and well cheers pal
Gary! Hey man, i need to get out there bad. Soon. Staying indoors today.
I may be biased (ScramblerXE 1200 owner) but I think Triumph is THE Best motorcycle manufacturer around right now. They have been for about 3 years IMO...really upping the quality and performance of their whole line up, all while not price gouging or getting ahead of themselves like other brands that have been around for over a hundred years *cough-HD-cough*😆 Great video!
Might be the best bike review I’ve seen.
Enjoyed the clowning around edits at the end. Cool to see journos having fun.
Just picked a sand color Rally Pro yesterday. This bike puts a smile on my face that my old CB500X never could.
EXCELLENT REview and video. I"m buying this 900 Rally Pro. !!
that first minutes of introduction, that was pretty cool to see guys, really great driving and cool video
Fantastic review! I appreciate your comments and the fly by so we can get an idea what it’s like to stand up on it. If a review even mentions it, it’s only casually. I’m also 6‘2“ and a bit heavier than you. So this gave me a really good idea.
Mirroring the comments below, well done mate. Excellent detailed (did i say detailed?) review. Just what us wonks want to get out of a reviewer. Nothing says more than comparing the new with the old demoing with visuals. And it looks like you gave it a proper thrashing from which to share your eval. You have a new sub! Your attention to all aspects big and small along with production value are second to none.
Is there any way to fix that "knife-edge" feeling that you discussed around the 4 minute mark?
Love the tone and detailed content of that review, like the air filter changing practicality bit and the fact that bike will bottom out on it’s suspension rather than the engine carter. Well done, need to test ride that bike.
Man... that was the best review about the T900RP I have seen so far - and believe me, I have seen a lot. First visit to your channel, subscribed immediately. Your riding style is lunatic. Unbelievable. Really hope you have good health insurance. 😉
Great review cannot wait for my first test ride, covid 19 really screwed that up, was invited to the Triumph factory for the launch and Tiger talks, so really got excited to test then all this shit happened, iI'm on my third Tiger and I'm pretty sure i'll be having a Tiger pro.
How is the reliability of triumph?
Nice review! I’d love to see a comparison between the Rally Pro and the Scrambler 1200 xe. Different bikes, I know, but I’m coming from a 2011 Tiger 800 and the dilemma on which way to go is real.
Best and most educational review I have ever seen. I am so aware of all the bad pathetic reviews about everything online. This was so perfect. Fun with someone who knows something and who goes into details. I also read your review.This mc seems very good.I think it is incredibly cheap if you compare with competitors such as honda AF 1100.But the angle of the front fork should be redone as you say.
Awesome review thank you, read your article too which sold me on the bike. Just in the process of ordering a Rally Pro with a few extras then a shakedown trip to the Pyrenees then shipping it to Cape Town for a 2 month adventure. May the world open up and we can live to ride! 🏍💨
Easily the best review of this bike I've seen
Steve, I am looking to buy a new adventure bike and am looking at the Tiger 900 or Yamaha TENERE 700. I saw the T7 at my local dealer last Saturday. Looks a little uncomfortable for longer rides. So I am looking at the Tiger 900. I am struggling with which version of the Tiger to buy. I ride 75% on road and 25% off road and am planning some longer, cross country rides. I am in my 60s so don't want a big bike like the BMW GS. Which Tiger do you think would fit me better, the Rally or GT. I like the extras on the Rally Pro and GT Pro, but don't know if they are really needed. Does the Rally handle on the road as good as the GT? Also, did you notice any excessive heat from the motor on the Tiger? I understanding this was a problem on the Tiger 800 and on the Tiger 1200. Thanks, Adam
Great review Steve! Loved your article on ADV Pulse.
Thanks bud
Thank you, finally a good review on this bike (and spurge). Triumph doesn't need Yammienoobs of youtube to be doing press rides, waste of marketing money and waste of space on the internet.
Yeah. Yammie is a super nice dude in person but his skills as a rider were. Well down right bad both on and offroad. He can do a "facts review" from his microphone with tech sheet next time.
I wish they would get rid of all press releases all together and just send guys like this the bikes to review instead of flying them all over the world and feeding them wine.
Over many years I’ve learned that, at least for me, it takes a lot of time and distance to fully appreciate the character of an engine. Some I’ve loved off the start and then, not so much (Boxers). Others I’ve been okay with off the start and learned to love over time (VFR’s). I really like the Triumph triples, but I’ve yet to try this newest example, and therein lies the rub: A short demo ride tells me next to nothing about the fit between the engine design and designs I have about where and what to ride. That’s why quality reviews like help. Well done!
Great review once again Steve, looks like an awesome bike. You persuaded me to buy a f850gs when you did its review some time ago, and I'm super-happy with the bike... no regrets, cheers!
Thanks for this video! Enjoyed watching and felt informative as you seem to know what you are talking about.
Cheers man
Great review! Always pushing the limits 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks bud
Hiya…. Thanks for a wonderful product introduction. I wouldn’t call it a review as most things aren’t a review unless one has lived with the bike for a long time, like you have with your 800. In any case, yours was one of the better product introductions for this bike out there. Most others just simply narrate the company script and the specs. You actually pointed out some valuable comparisons with the 800. I really enjoyed your video.
Anyways, here is my question. Let us say that we have a rider who likes to tour long distances. Let us also say that this rider isn’t too likely to beat up the bike off-road like you are doing in the video. However, this guy lives in a part of the world where on-road riding often feels like off-road riding (just cuz), making said rider more interested in the Rally (with its spoke wheels) than in the GT (with the alloys). But given his typical preference of just touring, said rider is wondering how well the Rally (with its 21 inch front wheel) handles as a regular on-roader. I mean how easy (or hard) is it to flick the Rally around some bends for someone who is say five and a half feet? A secondary question is, is it true that the GT gets more rear set pegs than the Rally to make it more of a roader?
Oh and one more question. Have you by any chance ridden the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT? If yes, how would you rate that bike; especially compared to this Triumph 900 Rally? The V-Strom isn’t a premium offering like the Triumph is; but it does have tubeless spoke wheels and bulletproof Japanese reliability. But the thing is 476 lbs and has a wheelbase that is 9mm longer than the Tiger; which could potentially be a pain when the road gets gone.
Its the best review of Tiger I have watched ye. Lots of valuable informations.
This is the best adv review I have ever seen. I thought this was an excellent and HONEST review. Great examples of problems throughout the generations of Tigers and how they fixed it with this latest one. The videos showcasing these issues such as knife edging and rear wheel bounce were great. Also, being realistic about what future owners will be able to do on the motorcycle and the need for practice and training for off-road riding. This is a breath of fresh air in what’s usually a glowing review by a very skilled rider that try’s to make it seem like the bike is making all the difference. PLEASE make more like this.
Dude. Love this comment. Thanks for reaching out
Steve_Kamrad I’m just happy you saw it. Keep it up dude!
Thx Steve (& ADV Pulse)! That was spot on on everyway mate! I'm definately not a Rally Pro, ha, ha! But you got me convinced in buying one!
I am sometimes looking (read: dreaming) for my next bike (after my 2015 Tiger 800 XCx) and the Tiger 800 (latest model from 2018) came up as well as the Tiger 900 (2020), a R1200GS Rallye as from 2017, a 850 GS and a Honda AT (preferring from 2020 mainly because of cc with ride-by-wire).
In a nutshell... At this moment for what I wanna do with it my 800 XCx is fine, bit of offroading bit of touring bit of adventure. But the Rally Pro is to be set high on my wishlist as of now! :-)
Keep it up Steve, you nailed it again in this video with tech specs and laughs! :-)
Great review,and great riding. I am just getting into this market and was going to go with a 850 bmw,but I think my mind just got changed! Who sings the song at the end of your video? It's cool.
Damn... that was good :) Greetings from Poland! \m/
Hey Steve. Another great / really fun video (yes I subscribe). I've ridden primarily street bikes for the last few decades (Bonneville , Monster, Ducati Scrambler, etc) and now making the jump to an adventure bike. Still figuring to spend 80 - 90 % of the time on the pavement. Do you think the Rally Pro or the GT Pro (with appropriate tires ) is a better fit ? Thanks for your input.
Rally pro 100%
I am fixing to purchase this bike new to me but used. The exact one like in the article. Is it worth the buy at this point? or are there major upgrades?
Reply
Please don’t worry too much about the front end diving. I’ve got Motoz Tractionator tyres on and have gotten used to how the bike behaves and love how it performs off road. The rear brake is fantastic and you can slide into corners beautifully.
Don’t know if you’ve had the chance to ride the Norden 901 Expedition but I’d be very interested in hearing your comparison of the two.
per yooze, Steve. You are the deciding vote for me when getting tigers. I have two 800s now. And am looking to move one up to the 900. With your great assessment, I have no doubt it will be the correct purchase.
"Don't think you'll be a Rally Pro" oh god this pun hurts
Pains me.
I'm sold! Awesome bike and an awesome review!
Fantastic overhaul!
Great video, thanks. Can you tell me if I should get the Rally Pro or the GT PRO? I ride 80% long distance roads and 20% off-road.
Thanks for any inputs.
CHEERS
One of the best reviews I have ever seen!! Congrats! I am a beginner in off road but very agreessive on tarmac. My trips profile are 90 on (mainly twisties)10 off (gravel roads). Which one is best: 1200XCA or 900 rally pro? 21" front vs much more weight? I will be glad to hear from you!
Great jop bro 👍 can u Compare it with 790 ktm r thanx
Great seeing such advanced riding on this new bike.. I am 50 years riding .. AT 69 I ride 10% highway 30% gravel and dirt roads and 60% bumpy twisty back roads .. You think the starter Tiger model or the GT would be enough for that kind of riding ?? I am on a 2017 Street Scrambler at the moment with a 29 inch inseam and love the thing .. Great great fun .. Thanks for an informative clip ..
The GT is ok. It feels really small and manageable
@@steve_kamrad5216 With a short leg "manageble " is just the word I wanted to hear ...If you want to see the beautiful country I ride have a quick look at my station ... Mostly banjo and pottery clips but I just strapped a Zoom Q8 to my chest with a belt and took out the Street Scrambler and did a few clips of the roads and land here in Litchfield county .It is gentleman farms and movie stars here ... I love watching you ride .. Yours Guy
We own both a get pro and a rally pro, they do ride much differently. The gt is much more at home on pavement. You really notice it in the turns where the GT really dives in, almost as if it is turning for you like an autopilot, where as on the rally it goes where you drive it. There is a noticeable difference in suspension height. We are still learning what they can and can not do, but last weekend I took the rally pro down a backwoods 4x4 Colorado trail that had three foot tall boulders throughout, I don’t thing the GT would have enjoyed it much, but the rally loved it. Sadly the stock tires leave much to be desired for off-road riding, I see the purchase of a set of Bridgestone battlax ax41s in my future.
Does this bike have a low first gear compared to the AT ? I dumped my 2018 ATAS with 4K miles on it because of the horribly tall first gear , junk frame and a redesigned model coming out. This Triumph caught my eye at the dealership today. Now I’m dumping a 2019 450RX with 5hrs on it and shopping for something like this Triumph. Fits my SM and extreme (sometimes) enduro background . Great looking welds on the Triumph bikes , I’m digging them.
Great review as always. If I went for rally pro instead of GT pro. Would I be missing that 19" front tire on the road where it mostly would be used? i'm not a speedy rider
That is the million dollar question
Really good review, plenty of useful information.
I trying to decide between this & the CRF1100l Africa Twin.
What did u get?
Hello Steve, I have now ridden the AT and the rally pro back to back and gotta admit I'm leaning towards getting the Triumph. As an owner can you tell me if the engine heat over long miles has caused you any issues or worries at all? It was just one little concern I had after a test ride.
Thanks for the video, I am going back and forth between the ktm 890 adventure r and the tiger 900 rally pro…. What would you get? I want to mainly be off road but still want to have reliability and comfort on road. Thanks.
nice review thanks, now I don't know anymore because I was looking mainly at the KTM 790 R, I still have to try it actually, but know I should have a look as well at this Triumph. As you mentioned, depends what you want to do with it and my maine purpose will be on road for personal and professional usage, and I do an off-road trip once a year. I had before a 1200 GSA but it is too heavy. KTM for me was, until now, the perfect compromise especially with weight matters...but there is not such big difference between the 2 bikes. But they are 2 different engines and probably one will fit me better.
Now that you’ve had the opportunity to ride both a T7 and Tuareg, would you still pick this bike? Was the gs850 adventure better off road than this one? I figured the Tiger would be better being significantly lighter!
Awesome review. So, I live in the San Bernardino mts and need a semi-light bike that I can do both soft and hard luggage for short trips on local fire roads scouting and long trips to the Sierra's for solo fly fish camping. Only drawn to this one, and the Africa twin LE. But not opposed to your personal XE with a soft luggage set-up. 8s the 900 a good option for my needs in your opinion?
So I understand it's not a direct comparison by any means but I'm trying to decide between the 900 Rally Pro and the Ducati 1200 Enduro Pro. Looking for a full time adventure bike, dirt focused as I live in AZ and do quite a bit of dirt riding but able to run up to CO, UT, CA etc. Any "unbiased" input?
Great review!! It will be grateful if you post comparison between tiger 900 vs Africa twin.
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 ?
If you had to choose between a 2024 base model, Africa, twin or a 2024 tiger, 900 rally pro and you were doing majority tarmac gravel roads, camping trips with some light offloading which bike would it be? I can’t decide:(
In Canada
I would really like to know what kind of backpack he is wearing in the first shots? Does somebody it looks great!
Really good review...thanks! :)
It's a velomacchi 40L
Really nice review!
However, the Tiger 900's engine is not the only odd-fire triple made. Between 1976 and 1981 the Laverda Jota's engine had firing intervals of 180°, 180°, and 360°.
The firing order itself has nothing to do with power delivery; the firing _intervals_ are what matter. That's why I think the odd-firing triple was more of a marketing thing than for functionality.
Hi Bud great video
are the tyres your running pirelli scorpion rally str
Very excellent and informative review. Thanks.
When can we get the ultimate review and comparison between he BMW F900 XR, Ducati Multistrada 950 and Triumph Tiger 900? Mainly for commuting and touring.
Thanks nice review. As i ride 85%-90% on asphalt roads & only 10%-15% on gravel roads & as i like to have fun in twisty roads, i think the Tiger 900 GT would be more appropriate for me. Did you tested one ? What do you think of it ?
Only thing i would love that Triumph should offer is an cheap option on the Tiger 900 GT to be able to get tubeless spoked wheels on the Tiger 900 GT. I prefer 19 inches front wheel, but i also prefer tubeless spoked wheels; common Triumph!
The cast wheels are tubeless so I'm assuming you want a tubeless 19/17 set up? You can find a used rear eventually and then get a hub for the front and get it laced up. But really cast wheels are fine. I rode the GT quite a bit. It's really good but feels really small so i prefer the Rally Pro in and off road.
Steve_Kamrad : Thanks for reply, its really appreciated. Yes i prefer 17-19 inches wheels set up. Im not as tall as you are. I think the GT model size would fit me better as my height is only 1.70m or 5 feet 7 inches. Take care, stay safe, keep faith...
good job! Now for us road users, pls compare it to the tiger 900 gt pro and the bmw f900xr. Things that interest me is comfortable suspension, windprotection, and body position (djeez i'm getting old)
I like the motor on the 900 tiger a lot more than the 850. Plus the transmission is much better
Hey Steve, how do you think the offroad capabilities compare to the 790? Obviously the Tiger is an overall more refined and luxurious bike, just wondering about off-road readiness alone since everyone and their dog is raving about the 790. Great review!
I hear the 790 is awesome but at some point just buy a dirt bike
@@steve_kamrad5216 haha, I agree with you there. I prefer doing stupid stuff with the heavy bikes though, more fun
I have a KTM 1190 at the moment, and love it, but she is big and tall and I’m getting older. Is the 900 Rally pro up to 2 up touring
Can the springs be upgraded for a 300lb bison of a man like myself?
Thanks for the Review !! I bought the Rally its Bad Ass !!!
Brilliant review and super helpful (and beautiful riding !!!)
The extra low end power comes from the engine being 100cc more. Not just the firing order. I think triples only came in 180° and 120° the 120° was basically perfect laverda jotta came in both was a fantastic bike.
Nice review...How about an engine dyno graph overlay of the previous gen vs the new gen engine? This would really show the change/application of torque in the rpm range.
I have a 2018 KTM 1090 Adventure R. I really enjoy the bike on and off road. However, my two complaints are seat height and weight. Im thinking the 2020 Tiger 900 Rally (not Rally Pro) might solve these issues for me and make riding off road a little more controllable. Would I be sacrificing anything by switching to the Tiger 900 Rally that you can think of?
Damnit, I want this version of the Tiger. (Rally Pro) The air filter change itself, makes this a huge upgrade from the previous version.
16:40 could have turned into an "Oh Shit!" moment. lol
16:34 *
Nice review. I also have a Scrambler 1200XE. Now I am wondering about your thoughts between these two. Pros and cons?
I'm wondering this as well, although both Steve and Spurgeon have already said Tiger 900 over the Scrambler 1200. I'm guessing due to the weight/balance of the Tiger? But I'd love to know why. The Scrambler 1200 has the more appealing rake angle for off-road, and I would think the low torque is still beter. I've ridden it, but not off-road (even though some of the streets here don't qualify as roads). Won't get to ride the Tiger anytime soon it seems. The Tiger's more practical for me as far as long distance travel goes anyway, but still curious about the Tiger vs Scrambler off-road. I've heard Tiger, but why?
2 totally different bikes. The 900 revs and rips and the 1200xe is a beast down low and rad af. I just bought a rally pro. So both bikes are now in my possession
Likewise - I am intoxicated by the new Scrambler 1200 XE but the Tiger 900 is a worthy alternative consideration. I will be buying one or the other in the next month. Any more thoughts would be appreciated.
@@steve_kamrad5216 I have the 1200xc which I absolutely love on tar and fire trails here in Australia. I'm looking for something more comfortable for long trips/touring and better off road. Would the rally pro tick these boxes. I'll still keep the xc but find it starts to get uncomfortable on longer highway trips.
Great review thanks .
@@lawdayl I own both, one east coast. 1 west coast and the tiger is a better all around bike but no reason to have both in the same garage. I'd either get a better seat for the scrambler or just ride it. I've done 1400 miles in 3 days on mine. Offroad you're gonna want a dirt bike or a ktm 690 maybe. No adv bike is necessarily better than the scrambler offroad. If you want tiger I'd sell the scrambler as the tiger is a little bit better at everything but also you could just ride the scrambler. Hope this helps
you're buying it good enough for me ! only thing is the turn by turn...... seems like after market GPS be better ....
Hi great video have a question about which manufacturer is the most supportive for long distance riders.
I’ve spent 7 of the last 10 years touring.
I’ve used 3 Honda’s ,1 yamaha and 1 ducati . my last purchase was a Ducati multistrada 1200 enduro . I purchased it new in 2018 and 2 months later on July 1st set out for a year and a half North American ride. I wanted to be ready for anything that came my way. Which on the cruiser and sports tourer I used before I wasn’t.
I also wanted a bike I could keep for 7 years to do South America and a rtw trip on.
I’m not rich so the plan was do it in stages before the extended warranty ended .
First part of the trip was supposed to be all of Canada ,lower 48,alaska,Hawaii ,part of Mexico and Cuba.
Return to work for a year then ride to Patagonia .
Return to work and then ride RTW.
I thought the Ducati was made for this .
I had the bike serviced by ducati dealers only. I had the bike serviced and inspected each time I crossed the country.
I rode from moto forza ducati dealer in Cali to Motofit ducati dealer in Connecticut. I rode 960 miles the last day. When I arrived in Connecticut I paid almost $3,000 for the 18,000 mile service and some other things they suggested.
A few weeks later at Sturges the bike was shutting off on the highway and turning on. I almost fell under an 18 wheeler.
Ducati used the fact that I had a dirty chain when I arrived in Connecticut at their dealer as a reason to deny my claim. I rode 960 miles in 24 hours . How was my chain supposed to be clean.
Also why would a dirty chain make a bike shut off?
I had to contact the news and the ceo to have them honor the warranty . It took 3 months get the engine rebuild done in Seattle.
Bike lasted 2 weeks and was back in the in San Diego. With similar issues .
Got it back and it lasted 2 days.
back to the shop.
Those 2 repairs took another 3 months.
Got it back tried to cross the country in 48 hours for the iron but 50cc but the bike broke down 500 miles into on day one. With the same tule of issues. Bike dropped about 20 mph out of nowhere and I almost got run over.
Ride took 6 days .as it kept acting up.
Got it fixed in Florida got it back started acting up again.
None of the Ducati dealers that serviced it wanted to buy it. So I was stuck with it and since I’m not rich I couldn’t replace it until it sold.
I was finally able to sell it to a used bike shop . But I had to pay them $1,000 to take it off my hands.
I was never able to finish phase one of my trip since I was only able to ride the 20 days out of 12 months.
And due to not completing my project I lost the support of the kids charities I was working with.
I plan to start over again but I don’t want to find myself in the same situation.
Which manufacturer would you recommend for my project .
Sorry this is long but I’m not a Starbucks and home adv rider .
Was that comparison to Africa Twin with a 2020 model or the older one? Which one would have in a blink of an eye, this one or the 2020 Africa Twin(Manual or DCT)?
sad for his weight. with that weight and price you’re better with a 1290 adventure no? what do you think?
No the 1290 is huge compared to the 900
What helmet and jacket/boots you wearing here.
Africa Twin 1100 Adventure Sports vs Tiger 900 Rally Pro. for everyday commute, shitty roads, bad roads and off road. long distance traveling like mile muncher, thats my use case. so which is a better bike ? 10% off roading 30% pathetic condition of roads and 60% highway/freeways. please comment about the 900 GT pro too
Did they improve the fragile plastics that my 800 has fitted? I would like to see softer more flexible dirt bike like plastics. The ABS plastic cracks rather thank flexes.
In terms of looks.....I love the older one
I agree to that. The new look seems a bit BMW:ish to it. But the rest of the bike seems like a nice upgrade from the Tiger 800. It would be nice with a direct comparison between the 2018/19 800 Tiger and the new 900 ones, and then not just for the XCa vs Rally Pro but also between the XRt vs GT Pro.
Thanks for the Great review!! If a brand new 1090 R was the same price as a new Rally Pro would you still take the Triumph? ...I’m facing this dilemma right now 🥵
I'll be doing some 2up touring and weekend rides with my gf and luggage on the back. hope to do some off road but dont live near trails that im allowed to ride so ofc 98% will be on road. i did take my 950adv of road but have since moved to a norway with less off road options. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Sit on both at the dealerships with your gf. Pick the one you like more based on that. If it was me, I'd go 900 because of the motor and its easier to handle compared to the 1090
Hey Steve, Love the Tiger Rally Pro but it's not available here in the Philippines. Can you compare the Tiger Rally Pro to the NEW 2020 Honda CRF-1100L Africa Twin which is available here. Thanks!!
Will try to
yes...unreal review...thankyou,covered everything..
Great review!
is the KTM 890 Adventure a better bike than the Triumph 900 Rally Pro both on and off road?
Thanks for the review. I am a little confused about the different ride modes. Wondered if you might be able to answer these questions:
What changes in Off Road ABS mode? Is there rear wheel completely off or just limited limited? Does the front wheel change from road?
What's the difference between Sport and Off Road Map?
What's the difference between Sport and Off Road Traction Control?
Okay so offroad abs allows locking the rear and allows harding breaking offroad with the front. The maps are really good at feeling natural. Even the offroad map feels connected and not laggy. Offroad traction allows 50% slip and offroad pro allows full off traction control.
Sport map is aggressive at times for on-off throttle
Hi Steve
Hope you never get tired..
Nice review
Would you trade your XE for the Rally Pro?
I just bought a rally pro too. So both
That is the million dollar question. What is the best bike for me ? I have a 19 v strom great bike until you get in to a off road environment.... I do like the triumph bikes. Thanks for the video.
Great video sasquatch!
Cheers.... i think
I own a Husky 701. Thinking of swapping so I can carry an pillion occasionally. The rally pro, looks decent but how compromised is it off road compared with the 701?
Doing the same..
in the snapshot You showed Tiger 800 XR version with road suspension
Great review, looking at this and the AT standard..with a few of the upgrades, quick shift bars etc..was unsure about your comparison with the AT at the end? It looked like the bike you were comparing was the ATAS...have you ridden the more standard, lighter ( better off road) version of the 2020 AT...would love to hear your comparison view of both of these?
Haven't riden the 2020 AT but have riden allllll versions of the 2019 AT's dct and manual and regular at AS. The Tiger 900 is way stronger
@@steve_kamrad5216 I figured it would be against the 2019 but the 2020 is meant to be a completely different animal, be interesting to know.
@@davidhyde2267 no ones ever called a Honda an animal. The 1000 was kinda a cheater bike. 1000 cc in a 800 size frame but it really only runs like a 700. The 800 or 900 is sooooo much stronger than the AT 1000 so i can't imagine the 1100 would be that much stronger with euro 5 emissions
@@steve_kamrad5216 Haha, I beg to differ lots from mere mortals like myself to the God of motocross Dave Thorpe have. My first cr80 at age 12 was little animal and the 250 and 500s were just lightning in the right hands. But maybe I'm talking about a 'few' years ago. Still be interested to see and hear your reaction to the 2020 edition.
that's what i fu**ing needed to hear! Great review.
The obvious comparison is the KTM 790R - no others. Which would you buy?
I just bought a tiger 900 RP sooooo
Steve Kamrad is the by the best adventure bike reviewer on youtube, should have millions of views
Great review thank you 👏🏼👏🏼
