Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger 800 XRx 2015
The Tiger 800 XRx is an absolutely faithful companion on all paths - and off-roads. The close relationship to its sister Tiger 800 XCx gives it a very robust and off-road capable chassis, the engine pulls up smoothly even from far below and therefore does not cause any stress even at walking pace. The XRx is designed more for road use only with the smaller 19 inch tyres at the front and 17 inch tyres at the rear. I didn't ride it as the only tester over the season, which means that several pilots used it in different ways and therefore also challenged it. That is basically quite a challenge, because the driving style of each individual rider is different. And that's where it showed again that the Triumph Tiger 800 XRx is an excellent all-rounder.
Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2016
The new edition of the Tiger 800 XC can be considered quite successful. Even the "conventional" version can do much more than its predecessor thanks to the ride-by-wire system and standard traction control and ABS (both can be switched off). However, if you want to venture off-road more often, which is definitely what the designers had in mind thanks to the large wheels and spoke rims, you should choose the Tiger 800 XCx, which costs just under 1000 euros more. Thanks to the freely selectable riding modes, the x-version can be optimally tuned to the respective terrain. In addition, there is an engine guard, self-resetting turn signals, cruise control, main stand, underride protection, an additional 12V socket and hand protectors - which probably more than justifies the extra charge.
