Triumph Motorcycles have introduced two new Tiger 800 models in the Indian market – Tiger XRx and XCx. Triumph Motorcycle promises that the all new Tiger 800 is a dynamic Adventure motorcycle that is designed to deliver whatever the rider wants, no matter how he rides. On road or off, the new Tiger’s manners, riding position, handling and responsive engine are claimed to give the rider everything required to enjoy every ride. The new Tiger 800 comes in two guises. The Tiger 800 XRx is more focussed to the world of road riding whereas the Tiger 800 XCx has a more off-road intent. The XRx and XCx bring more technology to the segment offering the rider a range of standard equipment designed to match their purpose.
The new Tiger is equipped with the second generation 800cc liquid cool in-line-three cylinder engine. Triumph Motorcycles claims that inside the engine, the raft of changes have reduced mechanical noise and strengthened the premium feel of the triple. The engine has been incorporated with a lighter and more precise gear change mechanism, using parts from Triumph’s Daytona 675 super sport bike, improved heat management system and enhanced fuel combustion efficiency.

Rider Focused Technologies:
- Ride by Wire (RBW) – enables improved engine control, ensures rider safety, optimizes emissions, lighter throttle action results in smoother power delivery.
- Switchable ABS (Antilock Brake System) – maximum confidence and control in any road conditions for rider safety. The ABS can be turned ON or OFF and allows rider to customize their preferences in three advanced Riding Modes.
- Triumph Traction Control (TTC) – Riders can configure their traction control preferences in 3 Rider Mode settings. TTC prevents the unexpected spinning of the rear wheel, cutting the engine torque to avoid the loss of lateral grip ensuring maximum confidence and control both on and off road.
- Throttle Maps: With an added advantage of 4 different throttle maps, riders can select the optimum setting to meet both riding and weather conditions. The new engine delivers full power with all the maps, but the rider needs a different opening of the throttle to achieve the same response:
- Rain map – reduces the throttle response and suit wet and slippery situations
- Road map – represents the standard map, linear and smooth, suiting everyday conditions
- Sport map – for sharper and quicker response with less throttle twist
- Off-Road map – optimal throttle response for dirt tracks and unpaved terrains, i.e. off-road attitude.
Three Riding Modes – Enables rider to configure the bike as per the terrain at the press of a button. This automatically configures the ABS, Traction Control, and Throttle Maps with the bike still in motion to best tackle the route ahead. There are three modes available:
- Road setting – automatically sets the ABS, Traction Control, and Throttle Map to ‘ROAD’ setting
- Off Road setting – automatically sets the ABS, Traction Control, and Throttle Map to “OFF-ROAD”, reducing the ABS and traction control intervention allowing for a level of slip.
- Programmable rider mode – this is fully configurable and allows the rider to select their chosen settings for ABS, Traction Control, and a choice of 4 x Throttle Maps independently. As an added safety measure, should the rider select a mode that requires ABS or Traction Control to be disabled, then the rider must come to a stop and push the mode button and these features will be deactivated.
Cruise Control: for hassle free and enjoyable long rides, reducing rider fatigue and optimizing fuel consumption at the press of a button.
Trip Computer: Both the models feature trip computers having informative and functional features for rider such as journey time, average speed, average fuel economy, range to empty and instantaneous fuel consumption.
Triumph Genuine Accessories: Triumph Motorcycles will also offer Triumph Genuine Accessories for the New Tiger to provide a multitude of options that comprises of: New slim line heated grips, a 3D mesh Low Comfort Seat, all new Tri-Tour aluminium structured luggage system amongst the comprehensive range of 70 accessories.
