The most memorable adventures are often the toughest tests of both rider and machine. Each Tiger 1200 was designed to feel as good on the last mile of your adventure as it did on the first, and with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty you can focus on enjoying the ride with maximum peace of mind.

Following an exhaustive program of testing and development, each element of the new generation was crafted and refined to deliver in every condition, to give you the ultimate adventure ride. From the new lightweight frame, with its separate rear subframe and removable pillion footrest hangers, to its optimized new Tri-Link swingarm with integral shaft drive, the new Tiger 1200’s chassis was developed for the perfect balance of strength, stability, and weight. 

The Tiger 1200 has an adjustable seat height of 33.46in to 34.25in on the GT, GT Pro and GT Explorer, and 34.44in to 35.23in on the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer, with an option to go 0.78in lower still with the low accessory seat.  

The Tiger 1200 now comes with an Active Preload Reduction feature, this feature allows these seat heights to be reduced further. Depending on the combined weight of rider, pillion and luggage the feature could lower the riding height by up to 0.78in when the motorcycle comes to a standstill, offering greater ease and confidence.  

This new feature is accessible by simply pressing the ‘Home’ button on the switch cube for one second.
