New Triumph Tiger 800 XRT And XCA
Triumph Tiger 800 gains more versatility
Whether your adventures include tackling mile after mile of twists and turns, or taking in terrain of the rougher variety and leaving the tarmac behind, the new Triumph Tiger 800 XCA and XRT add increased versatility to the Triumph Tiger 800 stable of models.
Both models share the latest evolution of Triumph’s torquey 95PS 800cc triple engine, featuring enhanced fuel efficiency (up to 17% on the new combined cycle) and delivering up to 430km of riding on a single tank.
The improved engine sits in a revised chassis and is coupled to a suite of rider-focused technologies including ride-by-wire throttle, for improved response and rideability, three switchable riding modes and switchable ABS and traction control as standard.
These two new Tiger 800 models will be available in dealers from June 2015.
Triumph Tiger 800 XRT
The new Triumph Tiger 800 XRT offers aimproved ergonomics, and a standard fit comfort package that incorporates heated rider and passenger seats and heated grips as standard, the Tiger 800XRT has been designed and refined over thousands of miles to give a capable and involving ride.
The 95PS triple engine and enhanced chassis combine to deliver an engaging and involving road ride, with the ability to tailor performance to the climate and conditions via the Tiger XRT’s three switchable riding modes. 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cast aluminium rims are designed to complement the Tiger XRT’s excellent road manners.
Equipment levels are generous, developed with insight into the needs of the modern touring and adventure rider and include cruise control, an advanced trip computer, adjustable screen and hand guards all fitted as standard to make every mile easier.
Knowing that distance riders require the ability to operate a number of auxiliary accessories such as GPS systems, heated clothing or charging mobile equipment Triumph engineers have equipped the Tiger 800 XRT with a larger 650W alternator, meaning that additional equipment can be powered without having an adverse effect on the bike’s electrical system.
To further enhance the Tiger 800 XRT’s touring capability LED fog lights are fitted as standard and the bike comes prepared with the standard fitment of pannier rails ready to accept the optional Expedition luggage set.
Triumph Tiger 800 XCA
For those who like to ride a little more off the beaten path, the new Tiger 800 XCA is the top tier of the Tiger XC family and features the same 95PS triple engine and ride-by-wire throttle as it’s road-biased stablemates and is enhanced with a host of off-road focused features.
Chief amongst these is the WP suspension front and rear giving greater front and rear wheel travel to tackle tough terrain.
Details such as heated grips, heated rider and passenger seats, CNC machined foot rests, a larger 650W alternator to power accessories and LED fog lights as standard complete the XCA’s premium presentation.
Finally the XCA is fitted with aluminium pannier rails (which accept the optional Expedition luggage) and 3 auxiliary sockets to complete the adventure offering.
