Really missing you Cristian, been watching your channel grow over the years and inspired with your two-wheel adventure. You sir, will be immortal to the motorcycle community.
Going to miss this gentlemen. A very kind man and excellent motorcycle reviewer.
He died in a Moto accident right?
@@skipole09 yea I heard, an irony
This is a proper "warts and all" review. Well done for telling the full story. I hope that Triumph are listening.
Didn’t realise that this guy had passed, for someone who has just met this reviewer, what a loss! He came across as a very genuine person.my condolences to his freinds and family
I've seen a lot of reviews of this bike but yours is the first one to mention the rotating rear brake pedal for off/on road use! Good review, I like it!
Glad it was helpful!
As an italian fan I love you accent... It's very easy for me to follow your speech. BTW the bike is fantastic, as your review as always!
Ha, the Romans and the Romanians reunify
Thanks a lot!
that why half of Romania is in Italy ;)
Another wonderful video. You make some of the best motorcycle videos on UA-cam. I watched all of your videos and they helped me pick what bike to buy. I bought my 2020 Tiger 🐅 Rally Pro about 3 months ago. I love this bike. Thank you for the tip on the brake adjustment. Stay safe and healthy my friend!
You are supposed use the horizontal bar to adjust the screen. It can be moved up and down with one hand on the move.
Excellent review. Been waiting impatiently for your take on this bike. Last summer I bought a 2019 Tiger 800 XCa. Absolutely love this ADV bike, even after the complete overhaul into the 900. I personally think this 900 is about the best out there. Let’s face it, I’ll probably never push my 800 past the limit into 900 territory. Many Thanks for your professional insight.👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
Good choice!
Absolutely beautiful machine. Hardly anything to complain at it.
Thanks a lot for such a details as a heat issue and brake pedal adjustment in your review! Reviewers often dont pay attention to such small but important details.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely brilliant, informative, objective and comprehensive review! Thank you.
One of the best review start I’ve ever saw 😅👍
Great review. I think the ABS default function back to 'On' is an EU requirement even though it is bloody dangerous off road.
Thanks again for mentioning city riding comfort and heat from the engine.
Sad that he is no more with us :(
I have now 13000km on my Triumph Tiger 900. Perfect bike!
nothing about quickshifter ?...🤔 how it is ? Battery location ?...and as a remark, the windshield is operable with one hand from the middle metal bar. Nice review...🍻
Not sure about the battery but QuickShifter is the smoothest on the market at the moment. Tested both GT and rally.
Battery is below the tools compartment which was shown in the video when lifting the drivers seat. You can reach it by opening a hand screw.
The qs works very smooth. Forgot to mention that. But usually, if not mentioning it, it's good.
Dude, the phone holder just needs a push to open. You pulled it open like a savage 😄
Very informative review though.
Some great action and slow-mo shots. After watching your video, I'm really looking forward to testing the 900 for myself down here in South Africa.
@Louwrens De Kock - Have also been told by those in the know that it should come in just under 200k. A bit pricey when you consider KTM 790 Adventure starts at 209k. Still looking forward to riding it.
God bless bro.. said a prayer for you and your family
Thank you for reviewing the Tiger. You pointed out one my my biggest ADV bike irritation...having to switch modes when you turn the bike off. Just remember the settings please. I really hope to have one by next year.
Great video! You fit very well on that Tiger. How tall are you?
Been waiting for your review. Really enjoyed the video.❤️❤️🔥
Glad you liked it!!
Great video !
Could you do comparison between BMW F 900XR vs Tiger 900 GT Pro ?
We will try, The Tiger 900 GT Pro is not available yet for test ride in our market.
I think this is the best looking ADV on the market.
10:55 after fall, i guess many parts damages and u will see later after wash it
The final piece of downhill from the ridge route towards Poiana Valea Stanei is almost always muddy and wet-ish and it is a little sketchy on a 12 kg mtb. I can't even try to comprehend how it would felt with 200 kgs undeneath you.
:D
Great review. It helped me decide which of the two bikes to purchase. The GT Pro or the Ralley Pro. I am going to go with the Ralley Pro. Thanks!
Briliant reviews as always thanks DMR, for 13k, i would say best buy Africa Twin 1100L.
Lol in italy Africa twin costs 15-17k
Always great reviews, buy k1600 get because of your review
Hope you like it. Thanks!
Great review. You have some fantastic countryside there.
It really is!
Great review. Tire pressure light come on my bike as well while doing a test ride 🤔 Apart from that I loved the bike
Same thing happened to me today. I guess it shows you the sensors work!
Tenho uma tiger 900 rally, já rodei 1300 km, considero a melhor moto ate 1000CC comercializada no momento, moto indescritível. Mas aqui na cidade de São Paulo, oriento escolher muito bem onde comprar moto da marca Triumph, eu tive uma péssima experiencia de compra sem contar o péssimo pós venda, sem falar da falta de profissionalismo dos mecânicos. A tiger 900 é uma moto que não tenho palavras para descrever o prazer de dirigir e pilotar, mas meu ressentimento com a marca não se apagará.
That windshield will hit my head in attack position and send wind to my head on the highway. It should have come with small windscreen like 850gs or crf1100
High, it is one of the most interesting bikes ever. Kindly Fiete
great video as always. which klim suit is that?
Thanks. It's the Kodiak.
You said a proper comparison is needed.. but gut feeling.. key differences with the KTM?
Triumph is more comfortable than the KTM. KTM = more fun to ride.
Nice bike. I like my BMW F850GS.
Fancy having to stop to change modes from road to off road. I’ll stick with my GS.
One of the reason I chose my 2019 GS HP over the triumph 1200... Great bike dont get me wrong but maybe 5 years ago...hahah
Yes! I fucking hate that on my 800, i have to stop and go to offroad mode to play :(
You can switch from off road mode to road mode while moving just keeping pressed the riding modes button.
You don't actually have to stop to change riding modes, you hold the mode button down for 3 seconds and it will change whilst still moving.
It appears in this review they didn't know how you do it!
Very well explained test...which bike would you choose between this Tiger, the new KTM 890 and the Africa Twin 1100????
Thanks.
Great review! 😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Qual você achou melhor a TIGER 900 ou a África twin?
epic video
rip brother.
You dint discuss about the seat height, how comfortable were you while riding?
The KLIM suite you are wearing , is it good for cold weather and rainy whether?? Please reply ..
Hello,
Do you préfer this tiger rally pro or africa twin crf1000l?
Why this question? Because I have a crf1000 but something I would like to change for a tiger rally!
I just test rode this today. I'm debating buying it! I liked it a lot.
Great review.
Will you ever review the 2019 / 2020 Yamaha Super Tenere ES?
Thanks
Not sure about it. I see that you're riding a Tenere. What can you tell about it?
@@DriveMagRiders
I have a 2019 Super Tenere ES. It's a great bike. In Canada it is 1/2 the price of a 1250GS ($16,500 vs $31,000). It has shaft drive, Full electronics incl traction control, driving modes, electronic suspension, adjustable windshield, 2 ht adjustable saddle, heated grips, cruise control, comes with hard panniers, handguards. I believe it has 120HP and 85ft lb torque. It's definitely not the most powerful ADV bike but it's fast enough for me. It will go over 200kph no problem. It has a great ride, is very flickable and has great wind protection. IMHO it's an underappreciated motorcycle.
Keep up the great videos
@@highmilagerider1154 actually you can find it here in the US for under 12k...go figure. That's what the release of the T700 did...If I was in the market for another adv bike I would get it no doubt. Indeed is a very underestimated motorcycle. To me it feels like the Vstroms story...
@@vromogata3807 in the UK it was less than a bmw f800gs . for a yamaha super tennere 1200. At the end of its run. Its seems heavier than a r1200gs and very top heavy. And in the UK it was making 105hp. (Some say it can be de restricted) under £10k was a steal in the end. Don't know if you can still get them. We have lost the XT660 now in the uk.
So this or the africa twin standard, which would you choose???
We'll get a back with a review soon.
what is the klim jacket model you are wearing?
damn it! I was decided for KTM790R, but this bike looks soo good. :-D
Sir I am really confused that which bike should I take the triumph tiger 1200 or the africa twin please help me in this situation.
1290
My boss please please please make a video 850 Honda Africa
I think the rear light looks really cheap. I the one tiny light for the headlights looks rubbish too.
Why is it that Triumph's triples are a totally different thing? 🤔
The FZ09 is torquey af... All the small i3 cars are torquey af too, but Triumph's i3s have always been high end screamers. 🤷🏻♂️
smoking hot for those who rides with shorts here in Malaysia....lol
Ye, a nice bike. I would really conseder it, unless the 20000 km valve adjust / check intervsls. It is just too expensive to maintain, if one really uses it.
A modern bike should have, at least, 30000 km between the expensive services ☝️🧐
10:14 "Is not that dangerous keeping the offroad mode", then at 11:24 literally losing a bit of control because of the abs being off...
I saw that, too.
Headlights get worse with every new vehicle - four wheels, too. For all the praise the new lighting tech gets, wth? Seems like it all peaked around 2010.
I haven't bought Tiger 900 in Russia, because dealer of Triumph is not friendly to people.
I have just swapped my tiger 2015 800xcx i love the 900 but i think the WP suspension was better than the Showa, also i miss the engine noise and smoothness and the 800 headlamps are way better, are way , but this 900 you can wheelie in off road pro mode and the heated seats are great.
Rest In Peace chief. Thank you for everything.
Rip?
@@vissindkiran this man never failed to romanticise any bike he got on his hands. And he rode his favourite GS and crashed some time last year.
@@kevinng8061 🙄
220Kg for offroading fun, I can see this more for touring. It will sell well in the UK but 90% of buyers will never go offroad just like the BMW GS.
Of course not,these are expensive bikes.
You wouldn't take a somewhat luxury SUV off-road
Yeh you're sort of helping me there in my buying decision ... I'm trying to weigh up between something a bit more off road focused (the T7 or KTM 790) and battling my Triumph loyalty ... I'm gonna be heading off road more and more and as much as the Tiger would be awesome, it's a bit too posh!!! They could do with making a lighter less fussy off roader.
@@TheRiderGuider get the KTM Adv 790R or the 1090R for hardcore (rally style) off-roading. I'd hate to beat a Triumph too. But for light off-roading, you can easily go with the normal versions (GT / XRx / 790 Adv) and slap on a set of Pirelli Scorpions or something and you're good to go.
It's a shame that you spend loads of money on buying a powerful triple cylinder motorcycle to find the bike lacks low end torque. Then what is the point of spokes if it doesn't have low end torque?
When these manufacturers make. Single cylinder, torquey, 65 to 80 bhp engine on an adv frame then you have a bike which can be the true offroader.
@@vivekstreme1994 Looks like the bike is new. It's a totally different story once the engine has a few thousand miles and is liberated ? Is that the right term in English ?) I tried a Street triple new and another one with 16 000 km on, it was a different bike !
You are making more than the best YT videos , in fact they are now high quality motorcycle movies. F9 is widely considered to be the best , but you guys are now at least the equal of them if not better.
you are already being missed - RIP 😢
Rest in Peace man. You were a great guy and I always looked forward to your reviews. Gone way too soon. Ride on.
Triumph needs to add the 675 adventure to the lineup. Or something lighter:)
@GaryS Absolutely but with all the same cool tech. I don't need to pick up a tank off the ground
Yep, I’d be in. The lighter the better.
Wohhhhooo!!
Watching this video within 20 seconds from its Upload on UA-cam.... you guys are Doing an Excellent job 👏 👍
Yes, I even asked for a video on the Tiger 900 last week and here it is! Thank you guys
Just returned from another 2000 km trip with my rally pro. The bike consumes 5litres per 100 km average (no off-road). By the way: You can open the smartphone compartment under the 2nd seat by pushing the lid....not pulling it like you did in the video...I think you broke it then ;-)
And you can change the windscreen height when riding the bike. However it is hard to do at high speeds with all the wind pressure on the windscreen mechanism.
Thanks for sharing
Does it still shake down to low setting on bumps like the 2018? Cant believe they wont bother to fix the turbulence
I don't know how many times I have watched this video. The good die young. RIP Christian.
I will miss your bike reviews
A great rework from Triumph, unfairly compared to the BMW and the KTM, and yes a Tiger 675, would be a smart addition to the range. RIP Christian, taken far to soon, there's always the risk out there, that we all share.
the only two bikes im looking at are the Yamaha T7, and this, because they weigh the least.
the other ADV bikes? pure elephant crap.
fish out of water KTM 790?
@@0815Luther have you seen the amount of suspension on them?
ME NEITHER. :P
Well try the R version then ;)
@@0815Luther sorry, i am wrong. for some reason, i kept thinking about the ktm390 adventure. that piece of crap doesnt have any suspension - i was riding on my drz400sm and stopped next to one at the lights, and couldnt believe my eyes - it might as well just have been a roadbike for all i care.
either way, ktm's always sounded so pricey and fragile that i never really considered one.
is the triumph equally fragile and unreliable? i dont know, really, but hey at least they're the same weight as the T7, and the specs look good, and the bike looks great!
@@thekaizer666 same weight as a T7 (204kg wet) you must be comparing the wet weight with dry weight. The lowest weight T900 is 192kg dry. Rally pro 196kg
Nice review! I like how you pointed out the stupid shit they are doing with the riding modes and the display. Simple and functional it should be!
I remember your review of the old 2018 Tiger 800 XCx that i bought, it also have the annoying riding modes and display. Plus shitty windscreen. I have removed mine and it transformed the bike allot better.
Given the looks this 900 is really ugly with features allover the place white frame, silver plastics and squeezed headlights. Even the local Triumph dealer told me he much preferred to ride the 2019 model to the new one. It's shame and i probably won't be returning to Triumph in the future
This has got to be the best tiger 900 review out there, truly comprehensive and ridden in every scenario this machine is designed for. Im very impressed!
For once you like what Triumph did. :)))
I love the details you get into, no other reviewer has mentioned the other details i.e. the rear brake lever adjust-ability.
Thanks, as always, for watching us.
Great, honest, real review. Only thing though. Since when is a 900 triple a middle weight? When I was younger a 900 was a super bike. 🏍🏍
I just found the channel and have been loving the reviews, the best reviews by far on UA-cam, only to discover that Christian has since passed away in a motorcycle accident. I am so sorry.
I agree you: the screen was developed by a crazy engineer. The rest seems amazing but I wait for the comparison against the BMW Adventure.
Great test!!!
I just saw BMW updated their F850GS to 2021 models which look quite aggressive. Eagerly waiting for the comparison of these two bikes soon.
Chaitanya Shukla the bmw 2021 updates are only colors for the 40th anniversary. Nothing else changed on the bikes
İ am so sad, İ will miss you man.
You can switch from off road mode to road mode while moving just keeping preshed the riding modes button
Didn't try that. Thanks for update. However, I would prefer not to have to keep it pressed. Don't have time for that when riding.
@@DriveMagRiders It's to avoid going back on road mode mistakenly when you are switching from offroad pro to offroad while riding.
What a great review... nicely filmed and put together so keep up the good work lads👍🏻😁👏🏻
Yes, it is clear that the Tenere 700 is, by far, the undisputed offroad king!
Well maybe functionally, but it is also the king of ugly ;)
@@wandering_armadillo You don't really get an offroad bike for it's beauty.
The suspension is too soft on the T7. I prefer the KTM 790 Adventure R
In offroad, the KTM 790 advR il Way way better than the T7... in my opinion
I will go with Kawasaki D tracker
The Rallypro is a very good adventure Bike , much improved over the previous model...
You always sounds like taster😂
Who's amused by🍕 pizza
I must sell this horse and get a Triumph.
Great honest reviews as always. But adventure bike are getting more and more expensive !! and must people who purchase these bikes never go off road, they just like the looks and are comfortable on long trips. I recently purchased a second-hand Royal Enfield Himalayan for under £3000.00 for green lanes and off roading, and if I drop it which I will, who cares ?. But £17000 for GS. or £14000.00 for a Triumph come on.
And lots of crappy features to take the thrill away from riding. Less is more fun
Very well balanced review, still can't believe you prefer the Africa Twin over the Tiger 900!
Of course you can adjust the windshield on the go. There is a black metalic bar you just need to grab with one hand and push up or down.
Outstanding review 👏 best I have seen on the new 900
Brilliant review guys!
Another great review guys. I love your unbiased opinions. First review I have seen that is honest about the new engine configuration.
Thanks! 👍
@@DriveMagRiders, day add add ddderr
Your videos are always superb 👍
Please take the GT pro for a spin to report on road manners. As it looks the Rally and the GT seems to be different bikes.
I tried both in one day and Rally was more comfortable for me than GT plus behaviour on the road was also better for the Rally version (suspension on bumbs/holes and taking corners - couldn't feel anything bad about 21" front wheel).
Dear triumph please bring this bike with 500 cc engine.Please 🙏🙏
Absolutely! 900 is way to big for serious off-road. Bad enough crashing a DR650 off-road but a DR650 isn't 18K and I never worry about trashing it
