Admin Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 In honor of Iván Cervantes’ Baja Aragón victory last year, Triumph has released the new Tiger 900 Aragón Editions models. The Rally is in the foreground while the GT model is in the back. (Triumph Motorcycles/) Celebrating race wins with special editions is a time-honored tradition (and a no-brainer as a sales angle) for bike manufacturers, so it should come as no surprise that Triumph is honoring Iván Cervantes’ impressive victory in the Baja España Aragón with not one, but two new unique Tiger 900 models. Sure, Cervantes notched the win on a Tiger 900 Rally Pro last year, but Triumph feels his performance—finishing over an hour of ahead of the second place rider—in one of the most demanding races on the FIM calendar is worth the wait, so we’re now seeing the introduction of the Tiger 900 Rally Aragón Edition and the Tiger 900 GT Aragón Edition motorcycles, both 2024 model year bikes.

(Triumph Motorcycles/) The two Aragón Editions are built on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro and Tiger 900 GT Pro platforms, and feature unique liveries with special graphics and extra accessories to confer their limited status. Triumph says they’ll be available for one year only.

(Triumph Motorcycles/) Being special editions, the Aragón bikes are built on an existing platform, in this case the Tiger 900, so you’ll find the same liquid-cooled 888cc DOHC inline-triple in both the 900 Rally Aragón and the 900 GT Aragón, connected to a six-speed transmission with a slip/assist clutch. That means we’ll see the same claimed 64 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 7,250 rpm from both models, along with the familiar lightweight modular frame and high specification suspension. Liquid-cooled inline-triple is unchanged in both the 900 Rally Aragón and the 900 GT Aragón, with the same six-speed gearbox and slip/assist clutch. (Triumph Motorcycles/) The two bikes carry the same usage distinctions as their standard issue brethren, with the Rally 900′s 21-inch spoked front wheel betraying a more off-road intent and the GT’s 19-inch cast unit signaling a road-going bias. The suspension differences bear that out as well, with the 900 Rally model utilizing a fully adjustable Showa fork and rear unit tuned for harsher off-road environments, and the 900 GT carrying a fully adjustable 45mm inverted Marzocchi fork and electronically adjustable rear suspension. The 2024 Tiger 900 Rally Aragón Edition has a chunkier presence with added body protection and more subdued color scheme. (Triumph Motorcycles/) You’ll find engine protection bars adorning both Aragón bikes as well, but the Rally Edition gains fuel tank protection bars as well, signaling its potential exposure to more hits. The more obvious differences appear in the visual arena, with the Tiger 900 Rally Aragón touting a Matte Phantom Black, Matte Graphite, and Crystal White livery with distinct yellow accents, capped by Triumph Tiger and Aragón Edition detailing, along with a new twin color seat design. The 21-inch wire-spoked wheels, fully adjustable fork, and driving lights on the Rally Aragón signal its Rally Pro underpinnings. (Triumph Motorcycles/) The GT Aragón meanwhile adopts a more dynamic color palette, bearing a triple color combo of Diablo Red, Matte Phantom Black, and Crystal White, with special Triumph Tiger and Aragón Edition detailing, as well as a new seat design.

(Triumph Motorcycles/) Triumph says a collection of over 65 dedicated accessory options is available for both models, so you can dial in your machine accordingly. It’s also worth noting that—despite being special editions—both models are actually competitively priced, with the 2024 Tiger 900 Rally Aragón Edition carrying an MSRP of $16,995 in the US, or $400 less than the 2023 900 Rally Pro. The Tiger 900 GT Aragón Edition will retail for $16,495 USD and $18,895 CAD. Both bikes will be available in US dealerships by the end of July.
