2026 Triumph Tiger 1200 vs. the big ADV class

The only triple among the flagship adventure bikes — 148 hp with shaft drive and a distinctive T-plane pulse — priced right in the mix with the BMW GS. Here's the honest look against the big-bore ADV benchmarks.

Why buy the Tiger 1200 from Empire

A different flavor of flagship ADV — the character of a triple with shaft-drive convenience.

  • ✓
    The only triple in the class. 148 hp with the T-plane crank's twin-like low-end grunt and triple-smooth top end — a character the boxer, V4 and twin rivals can't replicate.
  • ✓
    Shaft drive, big-mile ready. Low-maintenance shaft final drive, semi-active suspension, TFT, cornering ABS, heated grips and seat — a proper continent-crosser.
  • ✓
    Priced with the benchmark. Right in the mix with the BMW R1300GS on price, and thousands under a comparably-equipped Multistrada V4.
  • ●
    Straight talk. The Ducati Multistrada V4 (170 hp) and KTM 1390 Super Adventure (173 hp) make more power; the BMW R1300GS is the class benchmark for tech and resale; and the Honda Africa Twin costs far less. The Tiger 1200 wins on triple character and shaft-drive value.
For the long way around. Two-up to Glacier, the length of the Selkirks, or just the big loop through the panhandle — the Tiger 1200's power, comfort and shaft drive are made for real distance.

And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.
