The Tiger 1050 receives minor modifications for 2012: the pioneer of the Triumph trail family (which now includes the) improves on the level of the suspensions and displays slight stylistic changes.

Technically, the big English "Tiger" knows no big change: the 2012 model retains the excellent 3-legged 1050 cc delivering 115 hp (106 hp in France) and 98 Nm of torque, as well as its two-wheel aluminum chassis. spars.

And since the whole did not lend itself to criticism (read), we will not complain about it !

The main changes made by Hinckley engineers concern the suspensions which adopt new settings for more comfort and better dynamic behavior in solo as in duo. The hydraulics of the fork are thus refined via new pistons and compression valves, while the oil volume is modified..

At the rear, the mono-shock compression and rebound valves are different and the spring preload is hardened. In addition, accessibility to the various preload and rebound settings should be improved since Triumph France specifies that "the positioning of the various rear shock absorber settings is changed".

The driving position of the 1050 Tiger is also changing: the black anodized handlebar is placed 20 mm lower than on the current model.

Finally on the aesthetic side, the Triumph road trail receives new graphics and original indicators, while several parts adopt a black color: this is particularly the case of the rims and footrests, but also of the Nissin radial brake calipers..

The Triumph Tiger 1050 2012 model will be available in Phantom Black (black) at a price that does not change by one euro compared to the current model: € 11,890 (€ 12,390 with ABS).

The Tiger 1050 SE, which receives ABS, suitcases and hand guards as standard, will be offered in Diablo Red (red), Crystal White (white) and Matt Black / Matt Graphite (two-tone black and black grey).
