TRIUMPH Tiger Special Edition (2010)

Motorcycle Pictures, Review, Specifications and Insurance informations.

- Triumph makes sure their most versatile model, the Tiger remains a strong player on the market and the presence of a Special Edition model in their lineup is just what the doctor recommends for riders in search of an adventure-sport model. The bike is based on the Tiger ABS, but distinguishes thanks to a Matt Graphite and Matt Black color scheme as well as thanks to a pair of color-matched sidebags, just like the 2010 Sprint ST gets. -

A first glance at the standard 2010 Triumph Tiger is enough to make you think the bike is totally new, but what actually sets it apart from the previous model year are the attractive new color schemes and the touring upgrades that the Brits simply had to have for their wild model.

While the color schemes as well as the accessories are for you to decide, what they don’t offer the possibility to decide for is the 1050cc three-cylinder engine producing 111 bhp at 9,400 rpm and 72 ft.lbs at 6250 rpm, as that would actually be the main reason why people buy the bike. Also, the Triumph Tiger features sports suspensions and rubber as well as Nissin brakes, making it an adequate sport-touring bike rather than the dual-purpose one that first made an entry back in the early 1990s.

Press review:

“The Tiger’s engine delivers power and ear to ear grins. The amazing 1050cc, fuel-injected, three cylinder engine, known for its addictive character, has plenty of torque and impressive amounts of horsepower, with ample reserves of both for those two-up fully laden tours.” – paddockreport -

"Roll-on power at freeway cruising speeds on the Big Cat is ample and eager; vibration from the engine was minimal. My only minor disappointment with mill was that it seemed to lack some of the grunty, rugged character of its naked siblings." – motorcycle -

"I found the throttle to be a bit ‘kicky’ for me at first. Until I got used to the responsiveness of it, I found my head generally being snapped behind my body, which was ahead of me by a few inches. This power is fortunately (and wisely) checked by 4-piston radial Nissin calipers pinching twin, 320mm floating rotors for exceptional braking performance." – motorbyte -

"On open roads the Triumph’s engine shines once again. The torque controller that is the throttle hand is so versatile that you can select one gear in a twisty section and just surf that torque curve right to the shore." – bikeadvice -

"It will match the competition with a close to 200-mile tank range, is as comfortable, offers as much weather protection and is a match on price. The only thing that may put some buyers off is the perception of an overtly sporty image." – visordown -
