Tiger

2003 Triumph Tiger Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Triumph's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2003 Triumph Tiger relies on a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 105 HP (76.6 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 109.9 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 measures 215 kg (474 lbs) dry, 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 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,515 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 24-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
