The Triumph Tiger 900 was a dual-sport motorcycle made by the British company from 1993. It remained in production with only minor improvements until 1998, when it was replaced by the highly revised Triumph Tiger T709.
In 1996, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Tiger 900, a motorcycle in its fourth year of production that didn't bring any significant modifications and featured the same visual, technical, and performance specifications as previous models.
The bike was also known as the T400 or Steamer and was sold in small numbers in the native country but with some relative success in the American and German markets. The bike offered two notable characteristics, such as the powerful engine and seat height, delivering a dominant riding position.
The bike's appearance was identical to previous models, packing standard features, such as a half fairing with two round headlights, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, engine protection bars with a metal plate on the front, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.
Underneath its clothes, the 1996 Triumph Tiger 900 had installed an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 84 hp at 8,000 rpm and 81 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission, sending it to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 201 kph (125 mph).
