Triumph Tiger 1200 2027 gets more power and new touchscreen technology
Triumph has priced its heavily revised Tiger 1200 lineup from 22,695 Swiss francs for the entry-level GT Pro, scaling up to 24,995 Swiss francs for the top-tier Rally Explorer, as actumoto.ch reported. The British manufacturer’s flagship Tiger 1200 gets a series of updates for 2027 that position it as the most sophisticated motorcycle in the range.
T-Plane Triple Engine Gains Eight Horsepower
The 1160cc T-Plane triple engine receives a redesigned cylinder head, new pistons, new intake and exhaust valves, more precise injection, and a new exhaust to improve combustion efficiency and gas flow. Triumph states the engine produces 158 horsepower at 9250 rpm—an increase of eight horsepower over the previous model—while peak torque remains at 130 Nm but arrives 250 rpm lower at 6750 rpm. Revised first, second, and third gears aim to put more torque on the road, alongside a minimum speed reduction of 6 km/h for better low-rev acceleration and throttle control. Additional modifications affect the gearbox, clutch, and secondary shaft drive for smoother operation.
New Touchscreen Adds Wireless Connectivity and Radar
For technology, the 2027 model introduces a 7-inch color TFT touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, supported by voice controls via Siri and Gemini. A waterproof, ventilated smartphone storage compartment with a USB-C charging port sits at the top of the fuel tank. Visually, the front face features a new LED position light positioned above the main headlight and a forward-facing radar placed between the position light and the windscreen, supplementing the repositioned rear radar.
Wheel Sizes Shift Across Model Lineup
Wheel sizes shift across the lineup, as the Rally Explorer is shown equipped with a 19-inch front wheel instead of a 21-inch wheel, while both GT and Rally variants transition to a 17-inch rear wheel instead of an 18-inch rear wheel. While Motorcycle.com noted that pre-production testing by Dakar winner Sam Sunderland in the Australian Outback was cut short due to vehicle damage, full technical details and a broader look at variants including the Rally Pro, GT Explorer, and GT Pro remain tied to official rollouts.
