New 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 Expected Features and Details
The details about the visuals are scarce but earlier leaked images of the Triumph Tiger XR series test mule revealed that the next generation model will receive a revised suspension and a slightly different seat height. Upfront, the dual headlight is now accompanied by a LED daytime running light in the centre. The radiator is now in split shape for the front wheel to get slightly longer travel. The sub-frame, instead of being a welded unit, is now a bolted unit which would allow better optimisation of the chassis. We may also see a revised instrument console on the next-generation model.

The visual overhaul will be accompanied by an updated three-cylinder engine and unless the new environment norms strangulate the performance, expect the numbers to hover around the current model’s 95 PS and 79 Nm. We’ll find that out in a matter of weeks.
