For the more enthusiastic off-road riders, Triumph have launched the Tiger 800 XC, an adventurer with a few improvements to make it more compliant on gravel or dirt tracks. It sports a 799cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, three-cylinder engine, which has been mapped for a beefy power delivery throughout the whole rev range.

The things that set apart the XC from the base Tiger 800 are the more enduring, wire-spoked wheels and the revised Showa front and rear suspensions. ABS comes standard, but it can be switched off for a true off-road experience.

When it comes to versatility, it doesn't get much better than the 2014 MY Triumph Tiger 800. A balanced engine and rigid frame, plus a naked bodywork to cut weight as much as possible mean the Tiger can be used for daily commutes, weekend outings in the countryside and for the occasional woodland trek.

Sporting a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, 749cc three cylinder powerplant, the two-wheeler aids the rider with a balanced power output, ensuring enough pull for uphill climbs while still eating the miles up on motorway hauls.

Starting from the already versatile Tiger 800, Hinckley decided to launch a more off-road oriented adventurer, in the form of the 2015 MY Triumph Tiger 800 XC. They added wire-spoked wheels, revised the suspension and added an off-switch to the ABS, all in an attempt to make a bike that will eat the miles up off-road as much as it does on the road.

And, with a wide range of optional accessories, such as soft saddlebags or a bigger windscreen, the Tiger 800 XC can take the rider even across continents, no matter if the road that gets there is paved or not.

With the introduction of the Tiger XC, Triumph has taken an adventure bike to the next level of off-road riding, so it would seem only natural that they take the same adventure bike and bring it to the next level of on-road cruising. This is exactly what happened in the 2015 MY Triumph Tiger 800 XR. It has standard state-of-the-art technologies, such as ABS, traction control and ride-by-wire, each with different settings to choose from, which allow the rider to spend more time behind the bars.

On the tech/engine side, it sports the same liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 799cc three-cylinder engine, but tweaked for better gas mileage, and with the addition of the ride-by-wire, better throttle response.
