The Triumph Tiger Cub was a 200 cc single-cylinder British motorcycle built at Triumph's Meriden factory in the West Midlands. Edward Turner designed the T20 Tiger Cub from the 150 cc T15 Terrier, which had been announced just before the 1952 show, and it was launched at the Earls Court show in November 1953. The first T20 ran from 1954 to 1956 on the Terrier's frame and forks, with a swinging-arm rear suspension frame from 1957. Variants included the Sports Cub T20SH, the off-road Scrambles Cub and Trials Cub, and a small number of T20WD machines supplied to the French Army. The last model made was the T20 Super Cub, launched in November 1966 and dropped in 1968. The cub became a popular way into motorcycling after a 1961 licence change limited learners in Great Britain to 250 cc.
