2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally (Triumph/)

The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 follows its predecessor the Tiger 800 with a major ground-up redesign for this year. It is a middleweight ADV that now reaps the on- and off-road-focused benefits of the submodels in the Tiger 900 GT/Pro and Tiger 900 Rally/Pro. In our First Look, Triumph USA’s operation manager stated, “What we’ve really tried to do is separate the Rally and GT versions out so that the GT is way more of a road bike and the Rally is way more of an off-road bike to really make it not feel like they’re basically the same things but with different wheels.” With its new T-plane triple engine, lightened girth, model distinctions, up-spec componentry, and cool looks even our editors can’t help but be excited with this middleweight ADV—heck, even Hollywood is stoked on it.
