2024 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro Review | First Ride

Great review. After owning an 800xrx for 5 years, and a 900 gt pro for the last 3, I am very tempted to change to the latest model. I agree with you regarding vibration. I found the 800 gave out high frequency vibes, which gave me white finger after a long ride. The 900 has vibes, but more of a kind to make you feel you are on a living machine. Full of character! I jusyt hope my givi panniers will fit the new bike. The frame loks the same to me?

Great video like your commentary, the comment on the bhp, this would be my concern, no one rides flat out to get the maximum results from the bhp, stil wonder how it would cope 2 up full luggage,

Looks great sounds lovely,

Pick mine up 1/3/2024

As you mentioned Triumph have certainly up’d their game on colour schemes. It was what, 2 to 3 years ago Triumph were getting a lot of criticism for their dull uninspiring colours especially as compared to Royal Enfield.

I liked the previous version but hated the dash and the colour schemes so went for a Multi V2S, the 2024 Tiger has all the right improvements and it will be on my short list next time.

Good video Si,got a Tiger 800 for this years long treks, maybe this will be the next bike,that red looks awesome👌

Hi Si! I think you’ll find the seat has been lowered by 40mm from previous model, not raised.

Hi Simon. It was good to speak to you in Glasgow earlier today. The bike looks fantastic and the updates I think are brilliant including pushing the valve check out to 18k miles. Also glad I’ve found your channel. Great review.

Hi Si great channel is there much difference between the gt and the gt pro

Thanks!

Great review, new sub. I have submitted a request for a test ride today, of this at the Glasgow Branch.

Thanks!

Damn, you sold me a Tiger 900 RP last year, tempted to get this version…my wife is going to kill me 😂😂

Brilliant review

Great review Si!
Outstanding bike, excellent upgrades. The only thing I wouldn't have is the connectivity. Have it on my Rocket and Tiger 1200 and it was a waste of money.

Lovely review

I've got the 2023 model and it's fantastic. I haven't ridden them all but i think this and the tracer 9 GT plus are probably best in class.

Test rode the 660 sport and then the 900 got pro. Couldn’t believe the difference . I nearly walked away after the 660 thinking the 900 was a bigger version. Wow, how wrong was I! Loved the 24 plate 900 gt pro. Might have to go for the earlier model because the higher seat just took it a bit high and I could flat foot the older model but what a bike!

Great review. I totally agree with the comments on buffeting around the helmet area. For me it was the only negative I found during a test ride. Has anyone actual experience with this bike in fitting either a clip-on deflector or a taller screen and whether they solved the problem? What did you use? It's something I definitely intend to do when my bike arrives.

Always wanted the Tiger 900GT Pro but after a test drive last year I hated the vibes, they were shocking. Bought the BMW R1250GS instead, if the vibes have indeed gone then I may trade my BMW in for one of these, fancy something lighter and less than 1000cc...

Many years in motor cycling ,this bike is Belisamo in every department❤
Brilliant review 👏

Simon thanks for a very concise review of the Gt Pro. Rode the 2023 model and it was nice, but didn’t set it on fire. Have a 2016 Tiger Explorer 1200 XRT, and I really love touring on it, but at 74 I need to consider something lighter with a lower seat height (800). I plan to get a test ride this coming week and your explanation of the changes for 2024 just may be what I was looking for. Thanks again from a new subscriber in Wisconsin.

Much prefer the looks of the 900 over the 1200. The light on the 1200 is ugly IMO. Would love to see how this stacks up as a two up tourer given reduced power over the “bigger” bikes. Fantastic review.

WEEELL isnt this interesting. Guess what I did today? Yep just ordered the new 900 GT pro, upgrading from a 2020 900 GT.
The new version is noticeably smoother in the bars and the pegs, everything else works and fits like the older model. More power? couldnt tell in the area I did the test ride in, also the bike had a whole 12 km on it so I wasnt going to thrash it. The smoothness however was noticeable. Hopeing for a similar experience as the older version 70,000km in just under 4 years with zero mechanical issues, service it put tyres on it give it fuel and ride. It arrives next week. Cant wait.

Sold. Will speak to you tomorrow as not getting on with the X. Starting issues again the other week.

I recently returned to riding at age sixty. I wanted a 800xrx. But during covid. The prices were insane. So I bought a used 800xr. Too relearn my riding skills and save money. After 2 years Triumph really screwed us over. First they gave us that insane stupid graphics on the screen. Then they take away spiked wheels on the cheaper models. 20 thousand dollars is insane. For an off road version. Screw Triumph! I am going cfmoto. I don't care if they have stolen their designs from ktm. Bought everything eles from other companies ( like every other manufacturer). It's 50% cheaper! Has cruise control, blind side mirrors!!

What a fantastic review by far the best I’ve seen so far. After months of deliberation I’d narrowed my choice down to 2 bikes the 900 GT Pro or the F900xr . I think you’ve just narrowed it down to a choice of one!!

hopeing your links to what your using to be mfg links NOT amazon; I sure not order from them to ship overseas.

vibs; ez enouigh to add a rubber grommet on the riser; as they did (only) for 24'

all data should be avilalbe to toggle thru the screens while driving like temps, tpms or let me configure what i wanat on my main screen ! move widgets around like your phone

Test ride was amazing; Lighter by far than my 750gs at 222kg; ez wonderful . Now.... I hear the pannier racks and crash bars on 2024 GT Pro are not compatalable with 22,23. Things moved around and no 3rd party has them yet for 24' . Disappointing as Shad had 22,23. to match my boxes.

Colours you mentioned. Ash grey I find revolting and an odd choice. Local triumph shop said they couldn’t sell them.

Thanks for the review, looking at the 2024 GT Pro as my next ride, moving on from my GS. For the heated seat and grips, are you able to change the heat intensity. You mention upgrading the screen, any recommendations? Keep up the good work.

Test road one recently. Handling is great. Hoewever, that t-plane crank chucks out lots of vibes at different points in the rev range. Triumph seem to have solved the vibes in the handlebars, but the ones in the foot peg are not good. Also the tank experiences some vibration which i have never seen before in a bike.

haha near to Kirkintilloch were I am from, should have taken her up the Crow road, past the Carron reservoir and down the tak me doon road into Kilsyth and back again, that entire section of road has been renewed because of the world cycling event, its immense, really great review, bike sounds amazing.

Loved the review, one of the best , great the way you review the bike. As a scotsman living in Australia i am going to buy the Triumph 900 GT Pro, pending a road test. I have watched the video twice somehow felt a bit homesick , always like anything Scottish

My 2024 GT Pro is my 4th Tiger - I've loved all of them. However ... I'm noticing some issues with the electronics and I'm wondering if anyone else is having these same issues.

#1 - My TPMS shows false warnings (both tires / separately) - For example, I set out on a ride last Saturday and the TPMS indicated that my front tire was at 22 psi. I stopped immediately, and manually checked the pressure (it was fine). The monitoring system then reset itself and showed the proper PSI. This has happened a number of times on each ride. I'm open to suggestions - I'm visiting the dealership soon and will ask them too.

#2 - When I connect my phone via the onboard blue tooth connection - when I try and adjust the volume of the music I'm playing, the music stops and I then have to reset the connection for it to start again. I'm open to the idea that this might be user error (somehow) or due to me having an older phone (Galaxy s10e), but it's frustrating.

The two issues make me wonder if there's a problem in the electronics. Anyone else have such issues?

Great review! You have addressed most of the important issues. The engine rumble under acceleration sounds very unique but seems quite discrete when cruising. The comfort is also a big plus for those wanting a cruiser.

That TFT needs a faster processor its way too slow

Hello, great bike many thanks for the video. Do you know why 2022 tiger 850 sport has a weird noise when you go 6.speed 110kmh - 120kmh constant speed on motorway? She is only at 6k km.

I've just swapped a BMW for a GT pro. A completely different animal to my old bike, but loving it at the moment. You know you've bought the right bike when your son test rides it and comes back with a big cheesy grin when he brings it back. He really liked it too, and he has previously owned two GSAs.

I have a varadero 1000 and am looking to upgrade it's a lot of money on my budget but it's my only form of transport so thanks for the review.

Great video, I have mine coming soon :D

What a great review.
I've had my Triumph explorer 1200 xc for the past 7yrs & looking for something just a little lighter & better fuel consumption. I'm definitely a Triumph man & love the sound of them when you wind them on, but that 900 sounds amazing 👌I'm definitely going to have to take one out on a test ride.
Thanks for the review & I have subscribed & look forward to seeing more 👍

Thanks

Had my heart set on a street RS,,now this review has got my head spinning. Think i will be in on Tuesday to try them both for size.That graphite/sapphire black one in the shop ❤❤.

I wonder if the new handlebar dampers can be retrofitted to last year's model....

Looks Awesome, How did you find the Metzelor Tourance Tyres...??? As I've had mixed reviews on them...???

Thanks for your quick.reply re metzelor tyres and also I've just come across your channel and I've subscribed very interesting good I pick up my Triump Tiger GT PRO this week super excited

Great video! What pannier and rack system are those?
