The engine is identical for both the Alpine and Desert model variants of the Tiger 900, an inline three-cylinder, 12-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled mill displacing 888 cc. Power is rated at 106.5 hp at 9,500 rpm with a maximum torque of 90 Nm at 6,850 rpm, going to the rear wheel via a six-speed slip and assist clutch equipped gearbox and chain final drive.
Differentiating the Tiger 900 GT Alpine and 900 Rally Desert is wheel sizing, the Alpine coming with cast alloy wheels, 19-inches in front and 17-inches at the rear, wearing 100/90 and 150/70 Metzeler Tourance tyres. Meanwhile, the desert gets spoked tubeless wheels, with a 21-inch front and 17-inch rear, fitted with Bridgestone Battleax Adventure tyres in 90/90 and 150/70 sizes.
Additionally, the Alpine comes with engine protection bars while the Desert adds fuel tank crash bars. Suspension for the Alpine is by Marzocchi, while the Desert gets Showa suspension.
Marzocchi upside-down front forks on the Alpine Edition are 45 mm in diameter, giving 180 mm of travel, with manually adjustable rebound and compression damping. At the rear, an electronically adjustable Marzocchi monoshock gives 170 mm of travel, adjustable for preload and rebound.

The rear end is propped up by a Showa monoshock with 230 mm of suspension travel and manually adjustable for preload and rebound.
Braking for both Tiger variants is done by Brembo with Stylema four-piston Monobloc callipers in front clamping twin 320 mm diameter brake discs and a single 255 mm disc on the rear wheel with single-piston sliding calliper. Optimised cornering ABS comes as standard equipment.
