Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 于 2012 年推出，是凯旋的旗舰冒险旅行车，由新开发的 1215cc 直列三缸发动机提供动力，旨在直接与宝马 R1200GS 竞争。它在2016年进行了重大更新，改进了电子设备和悬架，然后在2018年进行了重大重新设计，更名为Tiger 1200，采用了更轻的底盘、半主动悬架和更丰富的电子套件。值得注意的是，它是为数不多的由直列三缸发动机提供动力的大容量冒险旅行车之一，与双缸竞争对手相比，它具有独特的角色和配乐。

买家应该知道什么
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.

二手买家评论
"A characterful GS alternative that rewards thorough pre-purchase inspection."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe 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.
