The high performance version of the Speed Twin, the Tiger 100 returned post-war in 1946. Changes were light, and mainly concerned the position of the dynamo, now at the front of the block and a reduction in the level of external oil piping. As before it had an eight-stud fixing for the cylinder block and polished flywheels and connecting rods. Considered as one of the handsomest Triumphs of all, the T100 had a top speed well in excess of 90mph. With the exception of the Vincent Rapide, which had twice the capacity, it represented the fastest standard tourer available.

In the immediate post-war market Triumph got going with the Speed Twin and the Tiger 100 twins and although these were perfectly acceptable to the British, the Americans were soon demanding more performance. Edward Turner obliged with the 649cc Thunderbird and then later evolved from a high-performance edition which he named the Tiger 110. Engine changes included the beefed-up crankshaft, larger inlet valves and a compression ratio of 8.5:1. The T110 in Britain found its niche in production-machine racing, aquitting itself well at Thruxton in 1955.
