Will your feet reach?

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro has a 820mm seat. Enter your inside leg for a rough idea of how much foot you'll get down when stopped.

A rough guide only. A wide seat needs more leg than a narrow one, the suspension settles 20 to 40mm under you, and boots add a little. Many bikes offer a low seat or lowering link. Sit on one before you buy.

Range against similar bikes

Real-world range from tank size and typical economy, against the bikes closest to it in weight and type. Out on the lanes, fuel stops are often further apart than on a road ride.

Sizes are for the standard UK model and can change between model years. Check the size on your own tyre sidewall, and ask your dealer before fitting a different size. Our size lists come from maker and retailer listings and can miss sizes, so a tyre shown for one end may still be made in your other size. Check the maker's size chart.

What we actually found

Owners praise the GT Pro primarily as a sublime road tourer with light-trail capability. Riders love the low-rpm tractability of the T-Plane triple and highlight the ultra-low 820mm seat height as a huge confidence booster when stopping on uneven surfaces. However, owners are clear that its firm, short-travel suspension, cast 19-inch wheels, and forward road bias limit it strictly to dry, well-graded fire roads.

Pros for green laning

Cons and limitations

Based on manufacturer specifications and independent motorcycle press reviews.

Remember: a rank here assumes reasonable stock tyres and a competent rider in decent conditions. The right tyres, or the wrong weather, can move a lane from easy to genuinely hard regardless of what bike you're on. Check a lane's own difficulty and hazards on the map before you go, don't rely on a bike score alone.
