Triumph Explorer 1200

The Triumph Explorer 1200 has a top speed of 210 km/h (estimated; Triumph does not officially publish top speed figures), produces 137 hp and weighs 259 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

تم تقديم تريومف تايجر إكسبلورر 1200 في عام 2012 كسيارة المغامرات الرائدة من تريومف، مدعومة بمحرك ثلاثي مدمج 1215cc تم تطويره حديثًا ومصمم للتنافس مباشرة مع BMW R1200GS. حصلت السيارة على تحديثات مهمة في عام 2016 مع تحسين الإلكترونيات ونظام التعليق، ثم خضعت لعملية إعادة تصميم رئيسية في عام 2018 عندما تم تغيير علامتها التجارية إلى Tiger 1200، والتي تتميز بهيكل أخف ونظام تعليق شبه نشط وحزمة إلكترونيات أكثر ثراءً. تشتهر بكونها واحدة من عدد قليل من سيارات المغامرات ذات السعة الكبيرة والمدعومة بثلاثية مضمنة، مما يمنحها طابعًا مميزًا وموسيقى تصويرية مقارنة بالمنافسين ذوي الأسطوانات المزدوجة.

ما يجب أن يعرفه المشترون

⚙️

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Early 2012-2015 models are known for throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle and hesitation. A throttle body balance service at purchase is highly recommended and fixes the problem reliably.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Tiger Explorer 1200 holds its value well compared to competitors like the BMW R1200GS, often retaining 60-70% of its value after 3 years. Its loyal Triumph following keeps used demand consistently strong.

🏍️

Impressive Standard Features

Even base models include a full suite of rider aids — cornering ABS, traction control, and multiple riding modes — which were premium upgrades on rival bikes at the same price point.

"A characterful GS alternative that rewards thorough pre-purchase inspection."

$6,500-$11,000 used

The Explorer 1200 is one of those bikes that rewards patient buyers. Get a pre-2016 model and budget for the faff — they're known for burning through rear tyres, the suspension feels wooden stock, and the dash electronics can get glitchy. That said, the triple engine is genuinely magnificent. Smooth, torquey, and effortlessly quick in a way that Japanese fours simply aren't. Long-haul comfort is excellent once you sort the screen buffeting with an aftermarket item. Post-2016 bikes received suspension tweaks and better electronics calibration — worth hunting those down specifically. Always check the bevel box for wear, inspect the heated grips wiring (they corrode), and make sure the TFT display works properly because replacements are eye-watering. Service history matters here — these need regular attention and skipped services compound quickly. Used pricing has settled into realistic territory now. A solid example with decent miles and full history represents genuinely good value against the BMW R1250GS. It's not as polished as the GS, but it's more characterful and considerably more entertaining.
