The new Tiger 1200 is expected to be available in GT Pro, GT Explorer, Rally Pro and Rally Explorer specs and is expected to launch by the end of May.
Triumph Motorcycles India has teased the launch of the new Tiger 1200. Revealed globally late last year, the 2022 Tiger 1200 is new from the ground up, featuring a new chassis and a new, more powerful three-cylinder engine. According to the Triumph India website, India will get the Tiger 1200 Rally and 1200 GT in both Pro and Explorer specifications. Internationally, the Tiger 1200 is also available in a standard GT spec, though for now, it looks like this model will not be available in India. The GT spec models are designed for more road-biased use, while the Rally spec models are getting more off-road capability as well as very good two-up touring capability. There is no official word yet on the launch date, though we expect the prices of the new Tiger 1200 to be revealed by the second half of May 2022.

The new Tiger 1200 is 25 kg lighter than its predecessor, in part due to its lightweight aluminum chassis. The overall design makes the bike thinner than the older model and the exhaust also moves closer to the body. Overall, it seems that Triumph Motorcycles has made all-round efforts to make the new Tiger 1200 easy to handle and maneuver and with great all-round capability.
