Triumph, the British motorcycle manufacturer has launched the new Triumph Tiger Explorer XCx in the Indian two-wheeler market. This flagship adventurer tourer is priced at Rs 18.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Pan India). Globally, the motorcycle is available in 8 variants – 4 XR and 4 XC. In India, the company has only introduced the XCx trim. It is equipped with features like traction control, switchable ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) and two riding modes (Road and Rain).
The British luxury bike maker has already introduced a range of adventure motorcycles in the country. The Explorer is the range-topping model in its league. It is powered by a 1215cc, 3-cylinder engine that churns out a maximum power output of 139PS at 9,300rpm and a peak torque of 123Nm at 6,200rpm. This BSIV engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox, which sends power to the rear wheels. Read More – 2017 Triumph Street Triple S 765 Launched At Rs 8.50 lakh
The Triumph Tiger Explorer is equipped with some advanced features such as cruise control, cornering ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), semi active suspension, electrically adjustable wind screen, heated grips and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The IMU system calculates the bike’s lean angle to offer optimum traction and braking power. This adventurer bike competes against the BMW R 1200 GS, Ducati Multistrada 1200 and the Honda Africa Twin. Also Read – 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber Launched At Rs 9.09 Lakh
The sales of the motorcycle will be limited to just 20 units across India. It is imported to India as completely built-up unit, which makes it a tad expensive than the competition. The bike is offered in three paint jobs – Jet Black, Crystal While and Lucerne Blue. Overall silhouette of the bike is the same offered on the other Tiger range, but it gets sharper styling and muscular looks.
