Engineered by Triumph for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2013 Triumph Tiger 1050 utilizes a 1050 cc (64.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 115 HP (83.9 kW) at 9,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 98 Nm (72.3 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 109.5 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 245 kg (540 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.47 HP/kg (2.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,510 mm (59.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 298 km (185 miles) between fill-ups.
