Triumph’s Ode to Victory: The Tiger 900 Aragón Editions
Triumph Honours Iván Cervantes’ Baja Aragón Victory
Triumph Motorcycles has a storied history of marrying performance with panache. The brand’s passion for commemorating victories on two wheels has resulted in masterpieces that resonate with both the racer and the rider in us. This tradition continues with their tribute to Iván Cervantes’ awe-inspiring victory in the 2022 Baja Aragón.
Exactly a year after Cervantes clinched the title, making his mark by dominating a grueling 450km race with a lead that left competitors trailing by over an hour, Triumph introduces the Tiger 900 Rally Aragón and Tiger 900 GT Aragón. These 2023-exclusive models are not just motorcycles; they’re time capsules preserving an unforgettable triumph.
While the Tiger 900 has always been a symbol of endurance and elite performance, the Aragón editions push this legacy further. Both models are infused with the top-tier specifications, tech advancements, and capabilities that their GT Pro and Rally Pro counterparts are renowned for. But what sets them apart is their race-inspired aesthetics – a nod to Cervantes’ victory.
The Tiger 900 Rally Aragón stands out with its menacing trio of Matt Phantom Black, Matt Graphite, and Crystal White. Racing Yellow accents meld seamlessly with the bike, emphasizing its Triumph Tiger and Aragón Edition detailing. This edition also unveils a novel twin-colour seat design, heightening its race-ready appeal.
Its sibling, the GT Aragón, mirrors the detailing but opts for a bolder palette. The blend of Diablo Red, Matt Phantom Black, and Crystal White gives it an air of elegance, unmissable on any road.
Beyond the aesthetics, both models are powerhouses. With a torque peaking at 87 Nm and a slip and assist clutch, riders are guaranteed the signature triple performance Triumph is celebrated for. Their lightweight modular frames, complemented by high-spec suspension systems, ensure an unparalleled handling experience, regardless of the terrain.
Distinguishing between the two, the GT Aragón Edition flaunts 45mm USD Marzocchi cartridge forks equipped with an electronically adjustable RSU. In contrast, the Rally Aragón Edition rides high on Showa forks, fine-tuned for superior off-road prowess.
Protection is paramount, and Triumph doesn’t hold back. Both editions come equipped with engine protection bars. However, the Rally Aragón Edition takes it a step further, adding fuel tank protection bars – a testament to its competitive spirit.
For those keen on personalization, Triumph offers a vast selection of over 65 dedicated accessories, ensuring your Tiger is as unique as your adventures.
In celebrating a past victory, Triumph reminds us of their commitment to forging ahead, setting benchmarks, and creating machines that are not just modes of transport but extensions of our aspirations. The Aragón editions, with their limited availability, exemplify the uniqueness and exclusivity of Triumph’s design philosophy. If you’re considering a blend of performance and prestige, act swiftly to become a proud owner of this motoring legacy.
