Triumph Tiger 100 2025 Launched? I've Seen These Headlines – But Let's Check the Facts
Man, another day, another "launch" story popping up online. This time it's the "Triumph Tiger 100 2025" on sites like twistarsgymnastics.co.in – talking smooth engine, classic adventure styling, advanced features, retro looks with modern tech. Sounds tempting if you're into that vintage vibe mixed with new bits.
But yeah, I've been down this road before with these articles.
What the Site Claims
From the page:
- Classic adventure design with retro elements – think round headlamp, chrome accents, upright posture.
- Smooth, refined engine (probably imagining a smaller displacement for easy handling).
- Advanced stuff like LED lights, digital cluster, ABS, ride modes.
- Perfect blend of old-school Tiger charm and 2025 tech for touring and light off-road.
The original Triumph Tiger 100 was a legend – a 500cc parallel twin from the late 1930s to 1970s, famous for speed (claimed 100 mph, hence the name) and racing wins back in the day.
The Reality Check
I looked everywhere – Triumph's official site, recent announcements, auto news – no Tiger 100 for 2025 or 2026. The Tiger 100 name hasn't been used on a new model since the vintage era.
Current Triumph adventure lineup? Tiger 900, Tiger 1200, Tiger 850 Sport, and the new Tiger Sport 800 series. They're pushing special editions like Alpine and Desert for 2026, plus the Tiger Sport 800 Tour with touring extras.
No revival of the old Tiger 100 badge. These stories seem like pure speculation or clickbait, often with generic renders or old photos
Real 2025/2026 Tigers look like this – modern ADVs with triple engines, serious tech, and proper adventure capability.
Why the Rumors?
Triumph loves its heritage – Bonneville T100 keeps the classic name alive. Fans probably wish for a retro Tiger 100 revival, something lighter and simpler. Online, that turns into "launched" posts quick.
If Triumph ever does bring back the Tiger 100 name on a new bike? I'd be interested – a modern classic adventure with old-school styling could be fun.
But right now? Treat this as fake news. Stick to official Triumph channels or dealers for real updates.
If you're after a Triumph adventure bike, the Tiger 900 or 1200 are solid choices – powerful, comfy, and actually available.
