Triumph Motorcycles India, the Indian arm of the British superbike maker, this week launched the new 2017 Triumph Tiger Explorer XCx in the country. However, the sales of this model are reportedly limited to a mere 20 units across the country.
The motorcycle has been imported as a completely built unit, and hence commands a hefty price.
While the new Tiger looks quite similar to its outgoing sibling, Triumph said in a press release that it gets sharp new lines, which enhance the motorcycle’s muscular look.
It gets a first-in-class electrically adjustable screen that allows the rider to constantly tailor aero protection and comfort whilst riding.
The motorcycle also gets a host of new technological upgrades such as Triumph semi-active suspension, corner optimised switchable ABS and traction control, and different rider modes to choose from. The semi-active suspension system allows the rider to electronically control the adjustment of the front and rear suspension damping, automatically adapting the rear shock absorber pre-load settings to reflect the terrain being covered, the company claimed.
Stand multi-channel switchable ABS and traction control is offered as standard on the XC model.
The Explorer features an Inertial Measurement Unit, which through a series of strategically positioned sensors, monitors and responds to the bike’s movement status, calculates the lean angle of the bikes and uses this measurement to ensure greater stability by optimising the performance of the ABS and traction control systems, Triumph stated.
The different rider modes available to choose from are Sports, Comfort, and Normal, which adjust the motorcycle’s configuration to suit weather and road conditions.
The Tiger Explorer XCx gets a new 1215 cc triple engine, which is mated to a transmission system featuring a torque-assisted clutch.
The motorcycle is also spruced with utility features such as a 12 V power socket, a 5 V USB port under the seat, and heated grips.
Starting at ₹18,75,000 (pan India), the motorcycle is available in three colour options — Jet Black, Crystal White, and Lucerne Blue.
