Triumph Motorcycles has made its adventure lineup even stronger with the launch of the new Tiger Alpine Edition and Tiger Desert Edition. Available for both the Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200 series, these new versions come with stylish designs, factory-fitted accessories, and advanced technology — all straight from the factory at great value.
The Alpine Edition is built for long highway and mountain rides, while the Desert Edition is designed for riders who love rough trails and off-road adventures.
Factory Upgrades: Ready to Ride Anywhere
Triumph’s idea behind these new editions is simple — to give riders the most useful and premium accessories as standard, without extra cost or fitting hassles.
Tiger 900 Alpine & Desert Editions
Both bikes continue with the proven 888cc T-plane triple engine that produces 106.5 bhp, but they now come packed with factory-fitted premium parts.
| Feature | Tiger 900 GT Pro Alpine Edition | Tiger 900 Rally Pro Desert Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Exhaust | Akrapovič Silencer (Standard) | Akrapovič Silencer (Standard) |
| Protection | Engine Protection Bars | Fuel Tank Protection Bars |
| Colour Options | Snowdonia White & Sapphire Black with Aegean Blue highlights | Urban Grey & Sapphire Black with Baja Orange highlights |
| Suspension | Road-biased Marzocchi (180 mm travel) | Off-road Showa (240 mm travel) |
The biggest highlight is the Akrapovič exhaust, offered as a standard feature for the first time on a Tiger. Normally, this performance silencer alone costs over ₹1 lakh as an add-on.
Tiger 1200 Alpine & Desert Editions
The bigger Tiger 1200 models take things even further. Powered by the 1,160cc T-plane triple producing 148 bhp, both editions now include radar-based safety features and added comfort options that were earlier found only on the top Explorer variants.
| Feature | Details | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | Blind Spot Assist (BSA) & Lane Change Assist (LCA) | Radar-based system that warns riders about nearby or fast-approaching vehicles. |
| Comfort | Heated Rider and Pillion Seats | Standard on 20-litre variants for extra comfort during long rides. |
| Suspension | Semi-Active Showa (200 mm – Alpine / 220 mm – Desert) | Adjusts automatically based on terrain and riding style. |
India Launch and Expected Price
Globally, the new Tiger Alpine and Tiger Desert Editions will start reaching dealerships from January 2026. In India, we can expect them by mid-2026, once local production and approvals are complete.
Prices are likely to be just slightly higher than the current GT Pro and Rally Pro models, considering the added factory-fitted accessories and technology.
Conclusion
With the new Alpine and Desert Editions, Triumph has made its adventure range even more exciting and practical. Riders now get premium accessories, advanced radar safety systems, and top-quality suspension setups directly from the factory.
These upgrades make the Tiger 900 and 1200 models even more attractive for riders who want power, safety, and style in one complete package.
