2008 Triumph Tiger ABS

ABS

• Triumph’s Antilock Braking System has been carefully designed to boost control under hard braking, working on both wheels independently. This unobtrusive system retains all the sensations of riding, operating at 100 calculations per second to sense the precise moment the wheel is about to lock up, then preventing it from doing so. The system has been specifically tailored to the Tiger, with painstaking calibration over many months to ensure optimum braking performance.

Additional Specifications:

• Swingarm: Braced, twin-sided, aluminum alloy
• Front Wheel: Cast, multi-spoke, 17 x 3.5 in.
• Rear Wheel: Cast, multi-spoke, 17 x 5.5 in.

Engine

• The Tiger’s engine delivers power and ear to ear grins. Nothing sounds like a triple so there’s no confusing a Tiger with the whine of an anonymous four. The amazing 1,050-cubic-centimeter, fuel-injected, three-cylinder engine, known for its addictive character, has plenty of torque and impressive amounts of horsepower, with ample reserves of both for those two-up fully laden tours. Peak power of 114-brake-horsepower is delivered at 9,400 rpm, with 74-foot-pounds torque at 6,250 rpm.

Handlebars

• High, wide bars give a comfortable riding position and excellent control at all speeds, from urban maneuvering to motorway cruising.

Screen

• The Tiger screen gives great wind protection for those long journeys without obscuring your view around town.

Seat

• The comfortable, spacious seat and relaxed rider and passenger ergonomics mean you’ll arrive fresh even at the end of the longest day.

Suspension

• The 43-millimeter upside down fully adjustable forks and remote spring preload and rebound damping adjustable rear shock keeps the ride comfortable on the worst of roads and gives excellent control when the pace picks up.
