Engineered by Triumph for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2000 Triumph Tiger relies on a 855 cc (52.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 87 HP (63.5 kW) at 6,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 85 Nm (62.7 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 101.8 HP per liter, 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 measures 215 kg (474 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4 HP/kg (2.47 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).
Within MotoLibrary's Triumph archive, this model family spans 12 indexed model years from 1987 to 2010, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
