Triumph reveals two all-new adventure-tourers
Adventure-bike manufacturers traditionally have aimed for some elusive, all-around ideal that inevitably results in a motorcycle with compromised performance both on- and off-road. Triumph hopes to avoid this trap by offering its new Tiger 800 enduro in two distinct versions, leaving you to choose the one that best suits your purposes. The standard Tiger is intended primarily for street riding, with cast 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels fitted with road-biased rubber. The Tiger XC is equipped for off-road exploring with stronger spoked wheels-the front 21 inches diameter-and more protective bodywork that incorporates hand guards, fork guards and a distinctive fender beak. The engine and frame will be identical on both bikes.
