2026 Triumph Tiger 900 and 1200 Alpine and Desert Edition – First Look
Triumph announced new Alpine and Desert Edition versions of the Tiger 900 and Tiger 1200, featuring premium upgrades and special paint and graphic schemes. The more off-road focused Tiger 1200 and Tiger 900 Rally Pro models will come in the Desert Edition while the Alpine Editions will be based on the more road oriented GT Pro trims.
The Tiger 900 GT Pro Alpine Edition will be available for $17,495, while the Tiger 900 Rally Pro Desert Edition comes in at $17,995. That puts them both at a $400 premium over the regular GT Pro and Rally Pro models. Meanwhile, the Tiger 1200 GT Pro Alpine is listed at $21,895 and the Tiger 1200 Rally Pro Desert at $22,995, which is actually $200 less than what Triumph lists for the regular Pro models.
We’ve reached out to Triumph to check on the price structure, to verify whether the special edition models are supposed to be less expensive, but if these prices stand, they represent a pretty good bargain. [UPDATE Nov. 14: Triumph assures us the published pricing is correct.]
Expect all four special edition Tiger models to arrive in showrooms in January.
Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro Alpine Edition
The Tiger 1200 GT Pro Alpine Edition is available in two color options. Pictured above is the Satin Crystal White & Matte Metallic Grey color with Caspian Blue accents. The other colorway is an Ash Grey with Intense Orange, shown below. Both versions include an Alpine Edition logo on the battery box.
In addition, the Tiger 1200 GT Pro Alpine Edition gains heated rider and pillion seats, plus the radar sensor-based Blind Spot Assist and Lane Change Assist.
Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro Desert Edition
The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro Desert Edition also receives Blind Spot and Lane Change Assists and heated rider and pillion seats. Like the Alpine model, the Desert Edition comes in a choice of two colors. Pictured above is the Satin Granite with Triumph Performance Yellow, and below is the Graphite and Crystal White and Red option.
As with the Alpine model, the Desert Edition emblem is featured on the battery box.
Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro Alpine Edition
The Tiger 900 GT Pro Alpine Edition comes in just a single color option, which Triumph calls Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black with Aegean Blue accents.
In addition, the Tiger 900 Alpine Edition receives engine protection bars and an Akrapovič silencer.
Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro Desert Edition
The Tiger 900 Rally Pro Desert Edition comes also comes fitted with an Akrapovič exhaust, and since it already comes standard with engine bars, the special edition model gains additional protective bars for the fuel tank.

Triumph is on a roll...,.. a force to be reckoned with for sure.
Yeah, "adventure" bikes are kind of lost on me. I've never been interested in a do-it-all motorcycle. But that bike looks kind of cool AND well-finished. Triumph seems to be firing on all cylinders these days.
