KIWI RIDER 12 2019 VOL2 | Page 85

Up to six riding modes are also built-in, with each adjusting throttle response, ABS and traction control settings to suit rider needs. On top of the basic Rain/Road style modes, Triumph has included a new anti- stall feature on the Off-Road and Off-Road Pro modes which automatically increases the idle revs to prevent stalling. The Off-Road Pro riding mode is exclusive to the Rally Pro model, is Triumph’s most extreme set-up for further-off-the-road adventures and completely disables both the ABS and traction control systems as well as incorporating an off-road specific throttle map. The GT Pro and Rally Pro models feature a quickshifter as standard along with an IMU which allows for even greater control via ABS and traction control in a variety of scenarios. Triumph Motorcycles New Zealand has confirmed the new Tiger 900 will be available in NZ within the first half of 2020, with the first models expected to land in April. Pricing is yet to be announced but has been indicated to not be too different from the pricing of the current Tiger 800 lineup. KIWI RIDER 85
