Triumph Motorcycles To Launch Four New Bikes In 2018

Triumph will first launch the updated Triumph Tiger 1200, the bigger of the Tiger series of adventure bikes in India, sometime in early 2018. For 2018, Triumph has dropped the 'Explorer' moniker for the larger Tiger, which, so far, has been known as the Tiger Explorer. For 2018, the Triumph Tiger 1200, as it will be known, will get significant updates, including minor cosmetic updates, improved ergonomics, less weight and the latest self-balancing semi-active suspension. Also on offer will be up/down quickshifter, cornering ABS, improved electronics and adaptive cornering lights. The Tiger 1200 will be available in two variants - the road going XR range and the more off-road focussed XC versions.

The second new product from Triumph will be the Bonneville Speedmaster, which will be Triumph's most affordable cruiser, based on the Bonneville Bobber. The Speedmaster is different in the sense that it is a more practical version of the Bonneville Bobber, with two-up seating, a larger fuel tank and relaxed ergonomics for highway cruising. Expect the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster to be launched sometime around March or April 2018.

The next bike in Triumph's adventure series will be the new for 2018 Tiger 800, one of the largest selling adventure bikes in India. Like the Tiger 1200, the Tiger 800 also gets several updates for 2018, including all-new LED lighting, sharper styling, and a full-colour TFT instrument panel, and will come with a choice of six riding modes. Also new will be an adjustable windscreen, new seat compound and high-spec Brembo brakes and Showa suspension. The new Tiger 800 will have a shorter-ratio first gear and a new Off-Road Pro riding mode in the off-road biased versions. The engine largely remains the same, but according to Triumph, it has been dynamically balanced for more performance and will feature a lighter, and freer flowing exhaust.

The fourth new bike in Triumph's 2018 model range will be the all-new Speed Triple, which has been in advanced stages of testing. Spy shots of the bike undergoing testing have popped up on the Internet and the next generation Speed Triple is expected to get a lot of updates as well. The design closely resembles the new Triumph Street Triple range, with a new subframe, all-new TFT instrument panel, and with improved electronics and performance. Looks like 2018 will be an important and exciting year for Triumph Motorcycles India.
