Triumph Tiger 800 in dealers now

1 of 4

Triumph’s all-new Tiger 800 range which now consists of four models has arrived in UK dealers.

The Tiger 800 range has been given a significant makeover for 2015 and MCN’s launch report declared it was more sophisticated, more accomplished off-road and a better all-round bike when compared to the outgoing model.

The whole range of bikes is now available in dealers across the country.

Triumph’s press release states: “The four distinctive model derivations, headed by the XRx and XCx, are designed to give the ultimate experience for both on and off-road biking. 

The rugged adventure bike, which has already enjoyed rave reviews, comes in two distinct guises; giving riders more choice than ever on how (and where) they take their bike in 2015.  While the Tiger 800 XRx is ideal for road riding, the Tiger 800 XCx is packed with features that make it the perfect off-road bike.

What really puts this new Tiger 800 range ahead of the pack is its emphasis on rider focused technology. Both the XRx and XCx are the first in their class to include cruise control; making these bikes true titans of technology. The models are further supplemented by the inclusion of a full Ride by Wire system that interacts with the ECU; opening up a whole new level of technology.

With an even more satisfying, exciting and ultimately rewarding ride, each bike delivers greater agility, complimented with class-leading technology innovation. Central to this is the Tiger’s 95PS three cylinder engine, providing the bike with a sophisticated feel. It gets more exciting inside the engine, with raft of changes implemented to reduce mechanical noise and boost the premium feel of the triple engine.

Alongside this, fuel consumption has also been enhanced, with a class leading 270 mile tank range; a range increase of 40 miles compared to the outgoing Tiger 800.

These technical improvements are coupled with brand new bodywork, which gives the bike a more dynamic stance, complimenting the highly defined lines of the tank side panels. Available in high gloss Crystal White, Phantom Black or Caspian Blue, wherever you’re going this year, the Tiger 800 is sure to get you there in style.”

Available from Triumph dealers across the UK, pricing for the new Tiger 800 range starts at £8,499.
