Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019

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.

The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.
