Triumph Tiger 1050

The Triumph Tiger 1050 is a continuation of the Tiger line from the Tiger 955i, produced by Triumph Motorcycles at Hinckley, England. Its name echoes Triumph's long history of sporting single and twin cylinder motorcycles, and it has a three-cylinder engine derived from the previous dual purpose Tiger. It shifts toward sport and street use, most visibly through cast 17 inch wheels, radial four-piston front brakes and floating front discs. It was first launched in 2007 after being shown to the press the previous November, ABS was optional, and in 2009 Triumph added a special edition with ABS, a two-box pannier kit and handguards.
