Celebrating race wins with special editions is a time-honored tradition (and a no-brainer as a sales angle) for bike manufacturers, so it should come as no surprise that Triumph is honoring Iván Cervantes’ impressive victory in the Baja España Aragón with not one, but two new unique Tiger 900 models. Sure, Cervantes notched the win on a Tiger 900 Rally Pro last year, but Triumph feels his performance—finishing over an hour of ahead of the second place rider—in one of the most demanding races on the FIM calendar is worth the wait, so we’re now seeing the introduction of the Tiger 900 Rally Aragón Edition and the Tiger 900 GT Aragón Edition motorcycles, both 2024 model year bikes.
The two Aragón Editions are built on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro and Tiger 900 GT Pro platforms, and feature unique liveries with special graphics and extra accessories to confer their limited status. Triumph says they’ll be available for one year only.

Being special editions, the Aragón bikes are built on an existing platform, in this case the Tiger 900, so you’ll find the same liquid-cooled 888cc DOHC inline-triple in both the 900 Rally Aragón and the 900 GT Aragón, connected to a six-speed transmission with a slip/assist clutch. That means we’ll see the same claimed 64 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 7,250 rpm from both models, along with the familiar lightweight modular frame and high specification suspension.
The two bikes carry the same usage distinctions as their standard issue brethren, with the Rally 900′s 21-inch spoked front wheel betraying a more off-road intent and the GT’s 19-inch cast unit signaling a road-going bias. This is also reflected in the suspension, which differs between the two models. The 900 Rally uses a Showa rear unit and fork that are fully adjustable and tuned to harsher off-road conditions, while the 900 GT has a Marzocchi 45mm fork with an electronically adjustable rear suspension.
You’ll find engine protection bars adorning both Aragón bikes as well, but the Rally Edition gains fuel tank protection bars as well, signaling its potential exposure to more hits.
The more obvious differences appear in the visual arena, with the Tiger 900 Rally Aragón touting a Matte Phantom Black, Matte Graphite, and Crystal White livery with distinct yellow accents, capped by Triumph Tiger and Aragón Edition detailing, along with a new twin color seat design.
The GT Aragón meanwhile adopts a more dynamic color palette, bearing a triple color combo of Diablo Red, Matte Phantom Black, and Crystal White, with special Triumph Tiger and Aragón Edition detailing, as well as a new seat design.
Triumph states that both models come with a selection of 65 accessories, allowing users to tailor their machine according to their needs.
It’s also worth noting that—despite being special editions—both models are actually competitively priced, with the 2024 Tiger 900 Rally Aragón Edition carrying an MSRP of $16,995 in the US, or $400 less than the 2023 900 Rally Pro. The Tiger 900 GT Aragón Edition will retail for $16,495 USD and $18,895 CAD. The US dealers will have both bikes in stock by the end of this month.
