Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2014

I like the Tiger 800 XC not only on the road for my daily commute to work. It is a very uncomplicated vehicle which, thanks to the powerful and lively engine, is not only very useful but also a lot of fun. On the racetrack, I actually only used the vehicle for my instructor work. But I couldn't help it and had to take to the track once in the faster group. The high-quality chassis and the agile engine were a joy to ride and the Tiger 800 XC is THE universal talent par excellence for me.

In 2025, the Tenere 700 features ride-by-wire, traction control and riding modes for the first time. Strictly speaking, it may have lost some of its unique selling point in the travel enduro market, its purist approach, but this does little to change its character. It is still the versatile, robust adventure bike that feels at home on loose surfaces and also cuts a fine figure on the tarmac. If the new electronic features are not a reason for increased interest in the new T7, then perhaps the many improvements in detail based on customer feedback are. A fixed tank cap, offset clutch cable mount, reinforced rear end and adapted fairings may not sound like much, but in practice they make the overall Tenere package more pleasant and practical than ever before. The next time I unintentionally activate the ABS on my old Tenere using the killswitch, I will miss the new T7.
