Triumph’s new Tiger 800XC is the British company’s
first truly ‘go everywhere’ motorcycle,
a machine designed and built for adventurers looking
for a strong and reliable companion to take them on
a round the world trip.
The Tiger 800XC is as tough as they come and capable
of coping with the demands of off-piste riding thanks
to its tough steel chassis and torque 799cc three-cylinder
engine.
Long travel 45mm upside down front forks and rear
suspension unit combine with a 21” spoked front
wheel to deliver maximum ground clearance and the
ability to cope with rough trails. With a high-level
front mudguard and sturdy handguards, there can be
no doubt that the latest Tiger has been developed
to cope with demanding conditions.
The same qualities that make the Tiger 800XC so
competent off-road also lead to an excellent road
bike. The rider can adjust both the handlebar position
and seat height and whether it is set at 845 or 865mm
the Tiger 800XC offers a commanding view above the
traffic and a comfortable perch from which to devour
the miles. A classleading 19 litre fuel tank ensures
infrequent stops for the Tiger 800XC rider, with cavernous
hard and soft luggage options available for those
who need to take the ‘kitchen sink’ on
their two-wheeled tours.
Powering the Tiger 800XC is a new long-stroke triple
delivering 95PS and an extremely accessible 79Nm of
torque. With its flat torque curve and gentle power
delivery, the Tiger 800XC is a pleasure to ride in
even the most demanding of conditions.
A sophisticated anti-lock braking system is available
as an option and can be deactivated for off-road riding,
while the high-specification extends to a standard
coded-key immobilizer and rear rack with generous
pillion grab handles. Three colour options are available
for the Tiger 800XC: Intense Orange, Phantom Black
and Crystal White. For 2012, the Tiger 800XC has adopted
a graphite colour frame for greater aesthetic appeal.
The comprehensive instrumentation includes a fuel
gauge and trip computer, while a high-specification
645w generator is fitted to allow riders to safely
fit electrical accessories such as heated grips, auxiliary
lights and satellite navigation equipment. A huge
range of official Triumph accessories have been developed
for the Tiger 800XC’s launch, these include
numerous hard and soft luggage solutions, adjustable
touring screen, centre stand and off-road style engine
protection bars and sump guard.
