The bike is powered by Triumph's 888cc, inline, three-cylinder, liquid-cooled T-Plane engine that produces 108hp at 9,500rpm and torque of up to 90Nm at 6,850rpm.

Pricing analysis
What about pricing?
The pricing strategy for the two special editions is quite interesting. The Tiger 900 Alpine Edition commands a ₹95,000 premium over the standard GT available in India. However, the more rugged Tiger 900 Desert Edition is actually priced ₹10,000 lower than the Rally Pro donor model despite receiving unique styling and added protective equipment.
