While earlier it was originally reported to arrive in April, but the unprecedented situation created by the outbreak of the Covid-19 delayed its original launch plans.
The bike is expected to be launched in the country in all three variants present internationally which includes - top-spec Rally Pro, the road-focused GT line, and the Rally. The launch of the variants might also occur in the same order with Rally Pro launching first, followed by the rest two variants. There is also a base Tiger 900 present, but chances of it arriving in India are slim.

It is mated to a 5-speed transmission. This unit is about 2.5 kgs lighter in comparison to the previous model.
Some of the key features and highlights of the all-new Tiger 900 includes electronic cruise control, heated grips, heated seats featuring separate pillion control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), 6 riding modes - Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road, Off-Road Pro and Rider, Bi-directional quick-shifter, 7-inch TFT instrument console featuring four different colour options along with high/low contrast versions.
