09 Jan Triumph Tiger 800 XR and XC Range
Runner up against the renowned Kawasaki H2 in the Pirelli bike of the year 2015. But most definitely first in its class. Motorcycling is all about trying new terrains and enjoying the scenery. What makes this sometimes challenging is the fact that not all motorcycles are suitable for all terrains. This is what I love most about the Tiger 800 XCx
If you are looking for a touring bike that is comfortable and fast enough for high way riding, the Tiger 800 range is perfectly suitable. If you enjoy twisty roads combined with some off-road terrains as well, then the Triumph Tiger 800 XCx seems to be the most preferred choice. It’s evident in the fact that it came first in its class and second overall against all the manufacturers with some of the best motorcycles ever built.
The second generation 800cc engine now features the ride-by-wire throttle system that allows for a much smoother power delivery when rolling on and off the throttle. What compliments the smooth riding of the Tiger and the gear shifting really well is the gearbox selector mechanism that you will also find on the popular Daytona model. Overall the results are 17{02c0c177ee4fd9beaa1f7860c90a8df2b6c3227773fff8a5ad31f40277892f83} better fuel efficiency.
