Motorcycle specifications Triumph1050 Tiger 2012 a builder shows its claws

triumph's big trail bike took advantage of 2012 to overhaul its suspension system. The machine was not to be criticized in this respect, and its versatility satisfied many a rider. With its 17-inch wheels and the abandonment of treaded tires, the machine has left the trails to make the most of the road. So much the better to make it even more serene. To take efficiency up a notch, the 43 mm inverted fork has been modified from the inside: oil volume has been changed, and the valve and compression piston have been modified. The evolution is even more marked for the rear shock: harder spring (+29%), modified compression and rebound valves, modified spring preload and modified positioning of the various settings. As a result, the Tiger promises to be more responsive and more comfortable.
A touch of make-up accompanies this evolution, in a subtle, almost imperceptible way. Black has been applied to the brake discs, ABS track, radial calipers, rims and handlebars, which have been lowered by 20 mm. The muffler and its heat shield have a brushed finish, the footrests are in graphite, there are new indicators and the graphics have evolved. The good news is that this little facelift comes at no extra cost.
