Triumph has added special editions to its flagship adventure model, the Tiger 1200. The road-biased GT Pro Alpine and off-road-biased Rally Pro Desert are priced from $21,895 for the GT Pro Alpine. Both come equipped with Shift Assist and a 7-inch color TFT display.
Splitting the same Tiger 1200 into 'Alpine' and 'Desert' personalities is a smart move as a maker. Even with a shared core, you can dress it in a completely different story through suspension, equipment, and bodywork. Well-equipped with a 7-inch TFT and Shift Assist too. Starting at $21,895, I'm dying to line up exactly what's packed in versus the spec differences.

Is Shift Assist a feature that lets you change gears without using the clutch?
Yeah exactly, that's the quickshifter — the thing that lets you shift with just the throttle and shift pedal.
If the special edition is just a color and graphics change, it's hard to shake the feeling of being overpriced.
The Tiger 1200's special editions keep piling up year after year, and the lineup's starting to feel complicated.
At this price point, it's going to go head-to-head with the BMW R1300GS's edition models.
Starting at $21,895 — curious how much that is over the standard Tiger 1200.
Even splitting the names between the on-road and off-road versions shows real attention to detail.
