Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro | The Best Tiger? 

Yep. 1200 Rally Pro Rules. In Green 😎

Good review as usual, very interesting, thanks.

Great review, and very honest. I’ve got the Rally Explorer, but I am 6’5”, so run on the tall setting. After a software update to cure the stalling and cold start issue, which I noticed at the start of the video, it really is a great bike. Don’t notice the handlebar vibes at all, must be used to it!! Thank you👍

Another great review. I really like these bikes and would probably have one over the GS, although I think it would be the GT Pro for me. The colour choices are better on the rally, but I've still prefer the road focus, lower seat height... and having faffed around cleaning spoked wheels on my last couple of bikes, the alloys on the GT would suit me too.

Spring's coming get your bikes ready! Love it.

Good thorough review as ever; good to have you back!

Fantastic video! Congratulations for the review. It's a great bike. I prefer the gt pro, because I don't ride off road almost never. Un saludo enorme desde Zaragoza (España). Me encanta que tus vídeos se puedan subtitular en español. Es muy útil 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Another nice video👌 , I also made a test drive this week with the Tiger 1200 but with the gt pro really a pleasure to drive and very agile. Until the next . ✌

Sadly this kind of bike is not a "one size fits all" solution as they are too tall for some and slightly overweight too but they make for formidable companions for travel, commuting and pretty much everything else you can throw at them. This Tiger is a great example of that. I like it! Cracking video! Cheers, Lupo

Woo it's a leggy beast! Mind you, you seemed comfortable on it. Triumph do make stable bikes so I guess it's capable off road but pickupability is very important for laning and it would be a fall and a heft getting it up again. On road it goes fast, what more do you need? 😁

Great review. I was close to getting the gt model. 2 things put me off. 1. Panniers I didn't like because of the scaffolding and one is bigger than the other due to the exhause The skinny back tyre. I understand them on the rally models but could of put slightly thicker tyres on the road focused models.

Nice video RedAng. 10 litres of petrol Google says weighs 7.02 kg. So the 30 litre tank on the other model you mentioned when full would make the bike 21.6 kg heavier. That on top of the already heavy bike weight.

Nice review again mate. While I agree, regarding the better looks of the rally models(including better paint) I’d have to go for the GT pro. For the 19” front, less fork dive,, better road handling and better tyre choice. In black..of course.👍🏻

Loved the 900 gt pro, would like to try this, just don’t love the price

Good vid 👍

I'd like to know other opinions on this. I have the Rally Explorer. When I go offroad I don't fill up the tank. I usually have less than 20 litres on board. Now if you spec up the Rally Pro with things like upper crash bars then exactly how much heavier is the Explorer? Is it enough to put you off on the model with more standard equipment. I'm no offroad expert but I have taken my bike on two pretty tough long roads so far with all sorts of hazards and in my opinion the bike is incredible.

could you tell us between 900 rally pro what would you choose??I prefer shaft drive but 1200 is 20kg heavier..doyuo feel the difference??

Welcome back Angus. Too big, too heavy, too tall, too many vibes, too expensive. If you dropped it you would never pick it up without the help of 2-3 people. God only knows what Triumph were thinking getting rid of their really nice smooth characterful triple engines they have been famed for. I presume they want to chase KTM as this new engine sounds like it wants to be a twin but without all the character and smoothness of one. The 900 engine is a more manageable bike, smaller, lighter, more manoeuvrable but still has this T plain crank engine. It didn't seem very involving when I rode the 900 GT Pro. Certainly didn't feel like a triple engine. Didnt' like it. However do agree with you that the Rally Pro models do look nice with the spoked wheels. My choice is the KTM SA 1290 with a lower PowerParts seat meaning shorties like me 29-30" inside leg can almost flat foot it. Sat on one about two weeks and it felt far less intimidating than I thought it would be, unlike this huge 1200 Rally Pro which I have also sat on, twice now. Also the KTM engine is so much better than this vibey T plain crank triple from Triumph. They should go back to producing triple engines as they were famed for. Ditch this T plain crank. See you still have your chord, rather dirty now, holding your rucksack shoulder straps in place across your front. ATB.

Looks nice but why would anyone want to take a bemoth like that off road. A nice 250 two stroke is the perfect off road bike. Triumph should have kept making the 1050 sport - far better looking and a better road bike.
