2014 Triumph Tiger 800 XC ABS, THE BEST MIDDLEWEIGHT DUALSPORT FOR THE MONEY! 2014 Triumph Tiger 800 XC ABS We built the Tiger 800XC to be just like the Tiger 800, but with a little bit more Using the rugged Tiger 800 as a starting point, we added a pack of special off-road equipment so you can keep on going when you run out of tarmac. The three-cylinder engine is the same 800cc triple found in the Tiger 800 so it s got loads of torque and muscular power. And the tough steel frame and long distance fuel range are from the Tiger 800 too. The added XC is what gives you the next-level off-road ability. This is a hard-core bike that you can cross continents on, whether or not there are roads going in that direction. Just load it up and go. Standard Features May Include: Suspension The suspension travel for the Tiger 800XC is a huge 220mm at the front, 215mm at the rear. Just what you need on poor condition trails. We fitted 45mm Showa upside down forks along with a preload and rebound adjustable Showa monoshock so you can adjust for either off or on-road riding. Brakes We needed to give you enough stopping force on the road without being too sharp or intimidating in the dirt. So at the front of the Tiger 800XC is a pair of two-piston sliding callipers and 308mm discs, with a single-piston calliper at the rear and a 255mm disc. ABS is standard but this can be switched off for off-road riding where you might want to be able to lock up a wheel. Wheels We added spoked wheels to the Tiger 800XC for better cushioning on rough terrain. The front is a big 21inch diameter to take dedicated off-road tyres and cope with holes and ridges. And the front mudguard is higher so that clogging mud won t spoil your ride. Riding Position We built the Tiger 800XC to have genuine off-road capability, so it s tall with an upright and very spacious riding position. We made the bars wider than the standard Tiger 800s to give you extra manoeuvrability and the seat is lofty, although its easily adjusted without the need for tools. Despite your high up stance the screen does a great job of fending off the wind pressure so you can stay at motorway speeds for as long as you need. We even gave your passenger plenty of room, chunky grab handles and well positioned footrests so long distances are no less comfortable on the back than they are for you. Frame As you d expect the Tiger 800XC uses the same tubular steel trellis frame as the Tiger 800 so you know it s strong enough to take the knocks during serious off road use. The rear subframe is the same, designed to take our capacious panniers and big top box, plus a passenger, then go places where pure road bikes darent venture. Engine The three-cylinder 95PS engine, like the rest of
