The Machina rear splash guard for the Triumph Tiger 900 (2024+) mounts directly to the swingarm and intercepts rear wheel spray before it reaches the pillion seat and your kit — keeping your passenger dry and your bags cleaner on every wet road. The Tiger 900's open undertail design means pillion spray is a real problem on tour; this guard is the fix.
The Standard variant uses a mild steel plate stay, bolting to existing swingarm hardware with no drilling and no permanent modification. The guard is built from ABS, finished in black, and designed specifically for the 2024+ Tiger 900 platform with its extended swingarm geometry.
Fits Tiger 900 GT, Rally, and Rally Pro (2024+). Compatible with OEM and most aftermarket pannier frames — mounts low at the swingarm, well below the subframe luggage points. Designed and tested on Indian roads by MACHINA.

Yes. The Machina guard mounts to the swingarm and intercepts rear wheel spray before it reaches the pillion seat. The Tiger 900's open undertail design makes this a meaningful upgrade — your passenger stays noticeably drier on wet roads.
Yes. The guard shields the gap between the rear tyre and undertail, reducing spray directed at bags and soft luggage on long touring days.
Yes. It bolts to existing hardware on the swingarm — no drilling, no permanent modification to the bike.
The Standard uses a mild steel plate stay that bolts to the swingarm at existing bolt points. The Premium version uses a round aluminium tube stay for added stiffness and longevity. Both mount the same way; the Premium is the more durable option for heavy touring use.
Yes — this product is designed for the 2024+ Tiger 900 specifically. The 2024 model received an extended swingarm that changed the rear bracket geometry. Riders on 2020–2023 Tiger 900 models should check for a separate compatible listing.
Yes. The guard mounts low at the swingarm, well below the subframe pannier mounting points, and does not interfere with OEM Tiger 900 luggage systems or most aftermarket pannier frames.

ABS plastic. ABS is impact-resistant and flexes instead of shattering, and it does not rust or corrode.
It is designed around the Triumph Tiger 900 GT / Rally / Rally Pro's existing mounting points, so it fits with basic hand tools. If you'd rather not do it yourself, any mechanic can fit it, and Machina can guide you over WhatsApp.
Yes. In the monsoon the rear tyre throws water and mud onto the shock, the underbody and your back. The splash guard catches that spray, keeping your Triumph Tiger 900 GT / Rally / Rally Pro's rear suspension cleaner and cutting down on corrosion.
It is designed to clear the stock tyre through full suspension travel. If you run a larger or knobbly tyre, check clearance with the bike loaded before a long ride.
