Triumph Tiger 800 XCx 2015

The Tiger 800 XCx appears to be just the right size as a universal talent. The engine is definitely the cream of the crop. It is lively, rev-happy, powerful and sounds a little daring. Nevertheless, it is always comfortable and easy to ride. The rest of the bike seems to be on a par.

great engine that is practical in everyday life but also a lot of fun

easy to drive yet never boring

Individual details seem a touch too cheap

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

Triumph Tiger Sport 2016

The Tiger Sport is a riding machine that can do much more than promised in the brochure. It was sportier than I thought it would be, but at the same time it offered more riding comfort.

Very universal

very agile handling but still easy and safe to drive

high ride comfort

great price / performance ratio

great tuned engine.

The Tiger Sport succeeds in almost all areas. Only in the suspension setup is the compromise, which is what this vehicle is, noticeable in some situations.
