Triumph Tiger 955i
The Triumph Tiger 955i was introduced in 2001 as a significant evolution of the original Tiger 900, featuring the modern 955cc triple-cylinder fuel-injected engine shared with the Speed Triple and Sprint ST. It represented Triumph's push into the adventure-touring segment with improved performance and reliability over its predecessor, remaining in production until 2006 when it was replaced by the Tiger 1050.

What Buyers Should Know
Engine Cam Chain Issue
The 955i triple is known for cam chain tensioner wear, especially on higher-mileage examples. Always listen for a rattling noise on cold starts before buying.
Watch for Coolant Leaks
Older 955i models can develop leaks around the water pump and coolant hoses due to age and heat cycling. Check for staining around the engine cases during any pre-purchase inspection.
Budget-Friendly Resale
The Tiger 955i has depreciated significantly, making it excellent value for a capable adventure-tourer with a strong 955cc inline-triple engine. Parts and independent mechanic support are widely available.
