We spend some time with the new 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 in Morocco and test both the top-of-the-line variants, the road oriented Triumph Tiger 800 XRT and the off-road oriented Triumph Tiger 800 XCA around the Atlas Mountains. Here's what we think about the new 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 range.
Though still relatively young in India, the global resurgence of Triumph has been an interesting story to track. With its portfolio looking solid, including the one in India, here is its next big thing - the upgraded Tiger 800 series bikes.
Yes, it has been a little over a year since Triumph Motorcycles updated the Tiger 800 with more than 200 changes but the company is already testing a new model, which could be launched sometime next year.
The top-spec Triumph Tiger 800 XCa joins the Tiger 800 line-up in India. It gets more features with 6 riding modes, full-LED lighting, as well as standard heated seats and centre stand.
The top-spec Triumph Tiger 800 XCA gets additional features, including a programmable Rider mode, full-LED lighting and heated rider and pillion seats.
Triumph Motorcycles India will be adding the new top-of-the-line off-road variant to the Tiger 800 tomorrow. The current generation Triumph Tiger 800 was launched in India in 2018, albeit only with the XCx trim and more than 200 updates over its predecessor. The Triumph Tiger 800 XCa has been teased online and packs in more off-road tech and capabilities over the XCx version. The Tiger 800 XCa brings features like LED-equipped lighting, backlit illumination to the switch cubes and 5-way joystick, heated grips and seat, and aluminium radiator guard.
We take a look at how the new Triumph Tiger 800 XCx stacks up against its closest competitors in India - the BMW F 850 GS and the Honda CRF 1000 L Africa Twin.
