Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger Explorer XRx 2016
The segment of touring enduros has become much softer in terms of engines - in addition to the typical two-cylinder engines, there are also four-cylinder engines in R- and V-shape and Triumph now has to share the unique selling point of the in-line three-cylinder engine with two other manufacturers (MV Agusta Turismo Veloce and Yamaha Tracer 900). On the Tiger Explorer XRx, the large three-cylinder engine with its 1215 cubic capacity is very powerful, yet consistently refined. The sound already conveys that something different is coming along and with 140 hp, the big Tiger is by no means underpowered. And thanks to the good responsiveness, very tight bends are no problem despite the impressive weight. In terms of comfort, the well-equipped XRx version cannot be reproached.
