The Tiger Cub was a British motorcycle made by Triumph Motorcycles at their Meriden factory in Coventry,England.This was launched at the Earls Court show in November 1953.The Tiger Cub competed well against the other small capacity motorcycles of the time such as the Villiers two strokes.
The first Tiger Cubs were a derivative of the Triumph Terrier with the same frame and forks.An off-road version the T20C was produced in the late 50's with high level exhaust and improved suspension.The original model had a plunger frame but this was changed to the modern swinging arm and two suspension units in 1957.The later models had the ignition at the end of the crankshaft where as the earlier models were situated on top of the crankcases.The last model made was the T20B Super Cub, which was launched in November 1966, it was discontinued in 1968.
