2017 Triumph TIGER EXPLORER XCEdit
Triumph will be offering a more dirt-worthy XC version alongside the standard Explorer for 2013. The new Explorer XC has some extra features aimed at improving off-road usability. The cast wheels are now replaced with Triumph-designed steelspoke tubeless wheels with aluminum rims, which should be a little more damage resistant while still offering the easier flat repair of a tubeless design.
