Exclusive design for touring and off-road riding
The Tiger 900 Alpine Edition is based on the road-focused GT Pro and features Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black paintwork with Aegean Blue accents. Striking elements such as the front fairing, tank end fairing, and radiator cowling consistently reflect the exclusive colors. The design is complemented by a luggage rack in Matt Phantom Black and Alpine graphics.
The Tiger 900 Desert Edition, based on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro, is aimed at off-road enthusiasts. It combines Urban Grey with Sapphire Black and Baja Orange. The front fairing, tank, and side panels reflect the off-road theme, while protective bars on the fuel tank provide additional robustness.
Similar color themes are used on the Tiger 1200: the Alpine Edition offers color combinations of Satin Crystal White, Matte Metallic Grey, and Caspian Blue or, alternatively, Ash Grey with Intense Orange. The Desert Edition of the 1200 is available in either Satin Granite with Triumph Performance Yellow or Crystal White & Red. All models feature edition logos with matching accent colors.
