The Triumph Tiger Explorer (marketed as Triumph Tiger 1200 since November 2017) is a dual-sport motorcycle that was announced by British company Triumph Motorcycles at the EICMA show in November 2011. There are currently two model series available; the Tiger 1200 GT and Tiger 1200 Rally. Both models have similar specifications, but the Rally series comes with a set-up that is geared toward off-road riding with spoked wheels instead of the aluminum cast wheels found on the GT series.[1]They are both powered by a 1,215 cc (74.1 cu in) straight-three engine with four valves per cylinder and a six-speed gearbox with shaft final drive.[2]

On 9 June 2023, Iván Cervantes rode a 2023 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 GT the distance of 4,012.53 km (2,493.28 mi) in 24 hours at Nardò Ring to claim the record for ‘The greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours (individual)’.[3] [4]
