Both models come equipped with advanced rider assistance systems such as riding modes and traction control.

In terms of weaknesses, the Tiger 800 XRx 2015 is visually similar to its predecessor and lacks adjustable chassis. Additionally, the footrests may drag early with a very sporty riding style. On the other hand, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2020 has less robust handguards for off-road use and a potentially overwhelming number of switches on the left handlebars.
Overall, the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2020 offers several improvements over the Tiger 800 XRx 2015, including a more powerful engine, enhanced off-road capability, improved standard equipment, and better ergonomics.

Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger 800 XRx 2015
The Tiger 800 XRx is an absolutely faithful companion on all paths - and off-roads. The close relationship to its sister Tiger 800 XCx gives it a very robust and off-road capable chassis, the engine pulls up smoothly even from far below and therefore does not cause any stress even at walking pace. The XRx is designed more for road use only with the smaller 19 inch tyres at the front and 17 inch tyres at the rear. I didn't ride it as the only tester over the season, which means that several pilots used it in different ways and therefore also challenged it. That is basically quite a challenge, because the driving style of each individual rider is different. And that's where it showed again that the Triumph Tiger 800 XRx is an excellent all-rounder.

It's impressive how well the bike manages the balancing act between on- and off-road, doing exactly what a touring enduro should be able to do, or what you still want to do with a touring enduro. And it does so with a degree of maturity that is astonishing for a new model and shows that Triumph has done its homework and has sensibly further developed the already underrated Tiger 800. Even if some die-hard Tiger fans may miss the now less pronounced, typical whistle of the three-cylinder. The question of whether the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is ready for the road can only be answered with a "when do you want to go again?
