Positioned in Triumph's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Triumph Tiger 1050 pairs a 1050 cc (64.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 111 HP (81 kW) at 9,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 97.6 Nm (72 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 105.7 HP per liter and a 3,150 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (9,400 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tiger 1050 measures 227.7 kg (502 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 833 mm (32.8 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,509 mm (59.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
