2001 Triumph Tiger 955i Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Triumph's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Triumph Tiger 955i pairs a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 104 HP (75.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 92 Nm (67.9 lb-ft) at 4,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 108.9 HP per liter and a 5,100 rpm working window between peak torque (4,400 rpm) and peak power (9,500 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 955i measures 215 kg (474 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.07 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,550 mm (61 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph).
