Triumph Motorcycles increases its range in the Adventure Touring market with the launch of the new Tiger Explorer XC. With a nod to the styling cues of the award winning Tiger 800 XC, the new Tiger Explorer XC gains a number of enhancements to further improve its long haul adventure touring appeal.
Key to the rugged look of the XC are the new aluminium rimmed, steel spoked wheels. Maintaining the 19” front and 17” rear dimensions of the Explorer, the new Triumph designed spoked wheels retain the Explorer’s incredible dynamic handling providing the additional benefit of tubeless tyres allow you to quickly resume your explorations in the event of a flat tyre, without the need for an extensive tool kit or experienced fitters.
The adventure look is further enhanced with the standard fit of some additional features, designed to increase comfort and confidence to any adventure. The high impact Adventure hand guards offer warmth and protection to hands and controls, whilst the high performance 55w dual fog lights deliver increased visibility for those late rides. Tough 22mm steel tube engine bars and a heavy gauge aluminium belly guard combine to offer maximum protection when the going gets more challenging. For riders wishing to further tailor their XC, there is a further range of 54 additional genuine Triumph accessories to choose from.
The Tiger Explorer XC is powered by Triumph’s shaft-driven 1215cc triple. Producing 137ps with 121Nm of torque the engine continues to impress. Add into the equation and cruise and traction control, switchable ABS and a virtually maintenance free shaft drive, you have the perfect combination for long distance adventure touring. All confidently backed up by a 10,000 mile service interval and unlimited mileage two-year warranty.
Available in Khaki Green, the XC made its UK debut during Triumph Live, the World’s largest celebration of all things Triumph, held at Mallory Park (31 August – 2 September). The Triumph Tiger Explorer XC’s international debut will follow at Intermot, Cologne, on 2 October, 2012. Test rides at Triumph dealerships will be available in early March 2013.
