Off road, on road, race, adventure, drag race....no one above or besides your reviews👍.
Absolute favorite bike tester.

One of the few honest and professional rider and journalist that just says things as they are! Great video as usual!

Good review. Completely agree with your conclusion… and that’s exactly why I bought a 2024 Rally Pro😊

Still waiting for Chris review on Aprillia Tuareg

I can confirm the power of the Brembos on the Tiger. During a trip, I bent one of the front discs and rode the remaining 5,000 kilometres with just one front disc, even through steep mountain passes. It was more than enough. Great video, thanks for sharing!

My only gripes as somebody who only rides on roads to get to and from the trails I want to ride are as follows;
1) The suspension is too soft, I’ve had to work the magic by adding preload, rebound and compression. Now it’s dialed. No need to upgrade to springs.
2) The oil view window, it’s so dark. I can barely see the oil through it. Why didn’t they put a lightly shaded rear so you can see the oil fill level. I have to use the camera on my phone to see where it’s at. Before anybody comments that it’s dirty oil. This was after I put Castrol oil in it which is red in colour.
3) why does it come with road tyres. I can understand it on the GT pro but not the Rally. They put off-road tyres on the scramblers and they can’t do what my Rally can off-road.
I’ve had it 2.5 months now and clocked 3478 miles, mostly harsh trails. The engine still sings sweet. The bike is a peach. I can outpace my friend easily off-road and he rides a Yamaha Tenere world raid. This bike is a weapon. Both on road and off. I’m not fussed about warranty unless it’s to do with the electrics. So will be only using Triumph every 12months for the stamp in the book. I change the oil every 4000miles on my bikes. Plus I simply don’t trust anyone else to do what I pay for. First service. I checked the filter and oil after it was in at Triumph. Same filter, same oil. So I changed them both a few days later and the crap that was in the oil. Imagine if I’d ran it on that oil to 6000 miles to its next service. Engine would be rough. This is my 2nd Rally Pro. They are a phenomenal bike in the right hands. Like any bike. You got to tweak it to your weight. This bike was setup from factory with a rider weight of 80kg. Bear that in mind. Fine on road but off road it blows through its travel. I weigh 105kg.
My fork preload is -4 from full. Compression is -5 from full and rebound is -7 from full. Rear just set normally for the 30% sag. Plus, for heavens sake change those tyres, even if it’s only for looks. I’ve put Dunlop Trailmax raids on. They do the off-road stuff great and are super sticky on the roads even in the wet.

Love hearing someone on YT actually singing the praises of carbs!   The rest of the internet (who have probably never riden a well maintaned carbed bike) have no idea.   The enjoyment you get from NOT having a computer between you and the engine is something we're only really going to appreciate once all the lovely old carburated bikes are gone...

This is the best bike review I've ever watched. Great real world presenting style, and really puts you in the saddle. Will definitely be watching more of your content 👏

Brilliant review as always, one of the best reviews.

I've been really enjoying my new to me 24 Tiger 900 RP and especially off road.  Interestingly you mentioned the bike did better off road with rear preload set to the middle, I find the same thing.  But the manual suggests setting the pre load to full soft for off road as a way to slacken the front geometry.  I tried that at first but the bike felt horrible on the road.  So I set rear preload to the middle of the range, and now it's just great both on and off road.

Literally the best non bs review of a motorcycle ever!
Cheers

So true about carbs v injection. I have yet to ride any of the latest ADV bikes which have the feel of a carbed KTM 950 Enduro for instance.

Excellent review Chris. You hit it right on the button - it’s right down the middle which is why I bought one. It’s spot on for a 70/30 on/off-road rider like me. It is a little tall and tippy at low speed for the shorter folks (I am 5’7” and have the Triumph low seat option fitted) but you get used to it and that’s what you get for the benefits 9.5 inches of suspension travel. On the throttle response in Off-Road Pro mode, you can customise that to the “Sports” throttle map which is how I run it and it restores that low end punch and quick response you were looking for. The bikes are sensitive to suspension set up as you mentioned (and others in the comments) particularly off-road. Triumph recommend minimum preload in the rear and max preload in the front for ‘off-road broken terrain’. Only takes 5 minutes and it transforms the bike (more rake) for great stability. I can hang no problems with my mates on their 790/890’s in the rough stuff. Quick change back to road settings and even the hardened KTM peeps know which bike they’d rather ride home on at the end of a long day… Great review. Thanks again.

Chris your insight is a class apart and invaluable, you convey what I want to hear as if you've taken my review brief and written the review just for me - thanks and keep up the good work. "Follow"

Great comment and detail on the throttle response.

From one Youtuber to another, nice work! I actually just ordered one of these babies in black. Very excited

Class review 💪

Well done Chris! A crackin' review sir! I like your YouTube presence and delivery so I keep watching your videos. Question, when it comes to the throttle response, do you think if you would've gone into Rider mode (customizable) and selected the Sport fuel map, the throttle would have given you that quick delivery, to maybe clear those little pot holes and what not? I have experience with my Tiger 800, so I think you can do this on the new 900 as well. Anyway, thanks mate for delivering good stuff!

Amazing review! I am seriously considering this bike so thanks for the detailed and honest breakdown.

My favourite reviewer ever period ;-) love your work mate.
