Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2017

Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2017

The segment of touring enduros has become much softer in terms of engines - in addition to the typical two-cylinder engines, there are also four-cylinder engines in R- and V-shape and Triumph now has to share the unique selling point of the in-line three-cylinder engine with two other manufacturers (MV Agusta Turismo Veloce and Yamaha Tracer 900). On the Tiger Explorer XRt, the large three-cylinder engine with 1215 cubic capacity is very powerful, yet consistently refined. The sound already conveys that something different is coming along and with 140 hp, the big Tiger is by no means underpowered. And thanks to the good responsiveness, very tight bends are no problem despite the impressive weight. In terms of comfort, the excellently equipped XRt version cannot be reproached; even an electrically height-adjustable windshield is on board.

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

The Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro is a true touring enduro and has a lot to offer. A comfortable, relaxed riding position, good wind protection, ample equipment and real travel suitability. Unlike the competition in the upper class of adventure bikes, however, it unfortunately lacks that certain "wow factor", that unique selling point that BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada V4 or KTM Super Adventure can boast. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro has no remarkable smoothness, no extremely agile handling or brute engine, but it is well-balanced. However, there is still room for improvement in some areas, especially in the smoothness in the lower rev range. However, the basis is good and well-balanced, and the fine-tuning will hopefully come in the following model years.

Pleasant, relaxed ergonomics

Good wind protection

State-of-the-art electronics

Extensive equipment

Very powerful brakes

Finely responsive, semi-active chassis

Ok range

Quick-shifting quickshifter

Engine does not run quite cleanly below 3000 revs

Large TFT display could be better used

Load change reactions at low revs

Very high for short-legged pilots
