Verdict

The 2022 Triumph Tiger 1200 has a lot of positives which makes it difficult to ignore. The pricing makes it even more appealing and at the very least it definitely deserves a test ride for anyone in the market for a full-size adventure bike. The new Tiger 1200 has arrived after a weight-loss programme making it leaner and meaner. It is a hugely improved adventure bike, which has a lot of capability and versatility to make for a compelling choice in the segment.
