Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2018

Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2018

The best Tiger 800 ever - because while the new Tiger 800 XCa can boast a special Offroad Pro mode and a superb standing position off-road, it doesn't mess around on paved roads either: superb seating position, the same manoeuvrability as the more road-oriented Tiger 800 XRt thanks to wider handlebars and even more lean angle clearance thanks to the longer suspension travel. You don't have to do without comfort despite serious off-road capabilities and sporty rideability; colour TFT display, height-adjustable windshield, heated grips and seats as well as full LED lighting are not even available at extra cost from other manufacturers in the mid-range touring enduro class, but are standard on Triumph's top model.

Triumph Tiger 800 XRT 2018

Triumph Tiger 800 XRT 2018

The Tiger 800 XRt is not only the slightly more road-oriented top model in the Tiger 800 range, it is also the best-selling model - and that could well remain the case with the new model. With a 19-inch front wheel and off-road mode, off-road excursions are no problem, while road riding and long journeys are sweetened with an incredible amount of luxury. In addition to cautious visual retouching, there is now a very easy height-adjustable windshield and 5 riding modes. Full LED lighting and a backlit control unit. Cleverly, the top models XRt and XCa are given the full LED lighting, the backlit control unit as well as heated grips and seats exclusively along the way.
