The motorcycle features a 1,215 cc (74.1 cu in) liquid-cooled, 12-valve, straight-three engine,[1]
which is mated to a six-speed gearbox and shaft drive. The engine is also used on its dual-sport sibling, the Tiger Explorer,[2]
although on the Trophy it produces slightly less power and has a taller sixth gear, more suitable for the touring proposal of this motorcycle.[3]
The base model will be complemented by the SE, which features extra equipment such as electronically adjustable suspension, a Bluetooth audio system, and a tyre-pressure monitoring system.[2] The SE will be the only model sold in the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil.[2]
