Tiger 955i Review

The Tiger felt compact, solid, and… a little top-heavy. It is super comfortable, with a perfectly natural sitting position. Triumph gave it a quiet update earlier this year with a lower, tighter suspension and more precise steering, making it more manageable, but there’s no denying that the basic design has been around for a while.

That said, it’s still a strong seller and I can see why. It’s that 955cc triple engine that packs you in. The Tiger’s engine produces a thermonuclear core of prime mover, with a creamy release from zero rpm, meaning accelerating and punching a steady 100mph hole in the air is an effortless task. Even with the top case and cases fully loaded, it grinds its way relentlessly. It does get a little light on its suspension at speed though, with a soft fabric that creeps up on fast sweepers.

Nothing dramatic, just a lot of mass and kinetic energy starting to work on springs and damping rates set for comfort over high-speed control. The Tiger still efficiently transports people and luggage, but puts a lot more heart and soul into it. He may feel (and see) his age, but he nevertheless proves to be a faithful traveling companion.
