Only three versions of the new Tiger 1200 issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology were released in China, and the other two models were not introduced into China simultaneously.

The TRIUMPHANT Tiger 1200 FROM 219,895 YUAN FOLLOWS THE MODEL OF BMW WATERBIRD SERIES IN DOMESTIC PRICE (STANDARD EDITION 219,900, ADV 252,900) BASICALLY FLAT.

Before the axle-gate incident, the Triumph Tiger's price might have persuaded some riders to opt for waterfowl; However, BMW's handling of the waterbird's broken shaft scandal may drive some potential customers to Triumph's brand
