New 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 India Launch Details Revealed

After the new 2018 Triumph Tiger 800, it’s the bigger British adventure tourer, the Tiger 1200 that is heading to the Indian market. The new 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200, which made its debut at the EICMA motorcycle show, will be launched in India on May 11, 2018.

The all new motorcycles are claimed to be significantly lighter, by up to 11kg, with 100 improvements including a major engine update. Apart from new styling, weight saving measures, and new nomenclature (which now excludes the Explorer tag), the new Triumph 1200 is loaded with features that include:

Adaptive cornering lighting within a full LED set-up
Full colour TFT display
6 riding modes
Back-lit switchgear
Triumph Shift Assist
Keyless ignition
New ergonomics

The adventure tourer gets its power from a 1,215cc, liquid-cooled, 12 valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed transmission system. The engine is tuned to produce 141 PS of power @ 9,350 rpm and 122 Nm of torque @ 7,600 rpm.

In terms of pricing, the upcoming 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 is expected to carry a premium over the model it replaces which retailed for INR 18.75 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the different in the prices over the outgoing model might not be much as the motorcycle is expected to arrive via the CBU route and thus benefit from the revised tax structure.
