Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2016

Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2016

The new edition of the Tiger 800 XC can be considered quite successful. Even the "conventional" version can do much more than its predecessor thanks to the ride-by-wire system and standard traction control and ABS (both can be switched off). However, if you want to venture off-road more often, which is definitely what the designers had in mind thanks to the large wheels and spoke rims, you should choose the Tiger 800 XCx, which costs just under 1000 euros more. Thanks to the freely selectable riding modes, the x-version can be optimally tuned to the respective terrain. In addition, there is an engine guard, self-resetting turn signals, cruise control, main stand, underride protection, an additional 12V socket and hand protectors - which probably more than justifies the extra charge.

The big R 1200 GS Adventure may have been the ultimate long-distance adventure bike up to now, but anyone who also values a bit of fun and sport is certainly better served by the F 800 GS Adventure.
