Adventure motorcycles have seen tremendous growth in the Indian market in recent times. The Tiger has been a top choice for many enthusiasts in the country and has a huge fan-following in our country. This iconic bike is sold in various variants in the Indian market and has just received a new variant, dubbed the Tiger XCA. This new top of the line model gets over 200 chassis and engine upgrades. The bike also gets an all-new LED illumination and comes with 6 riding modes, including a pro mode for riders who don’t want electronic intrusions. The motorcycle also gets a full-colour TFT instrument console, high-spec Brembo front brakes, optimised suspension configurations, handlebar-mounted backlit switch cubes, updated cruise control, enhanced chassis and new bodywork.
The 800cc three-cylinder engine on the motorcycle is now claimed to have more immediate power delivery and gets a peak power output of 95 PS. The exhaust on the motorcycle is also claimed to have more character and a sportier soundtrack. There is a new, shorter ratio first gear to enhance off-road traction, all-road low-speed responsiveness, and more immediate acceleration.
