The new Tiger 1200 series incorporates several upgrades over its predecessor in the form of engine refinement, rider comfort, overall ergonomics, better cornering ground clearance, reduced seat height, and a refreshed colour palette.
Powering the Tiger 1200 range is an updated 1160 cc inline-triple engine that gets modifications to the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balancer, alongside a recalibration for better torque delivery at lower RPMs. The power output remains the same at 148 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm.

The 2024 Tiger 1200 now features an Active Preload Reduction system for the rear suspension. This automatically lowers the rear suspension preload as the bike comes to a halt. Additionally, this system allows for a seat height reduction of up to 20 mm at the touch of a button. The GT Pro has an adjustable seat height of 850/870 mm, while the Rally Pro stands taller at 875/895 mm.
The Tiger 1200 range is built on a tubular steel frame, paired with a twin-sided “Tri-Link” aluminium swingarm. The bike is equipped with Showa’s 49mm semi-active damping USD forks, offering wheel travel of 200mm, along with a semi-active monoshock at the rear featuring electronic preload adjustment and the new Active Preload Reduction function.
