Triumph Tiger 800 XRx [2017]

Review: The bike is just awesome, no wonder people across the globe just loves it. I did around 4.5k in a single trip of 21 days and it dint fail to amaze me all the while. Of course you are comfortable in long distance, for pillion it may be little problematic in long distance, as the rear seat is slanted and if you are riding in summer, your bum will sweat and your skin will be even more delicate and if you get dragged forward every now and then, then pillion rider's bum will beg for mercy. For rider no issues. Cornering is pretty decent. Turning radius will be little bigger if you compare with its rival versys 650. Nevertheless, cornering is comfortable and confidence inspiring. Got into few scenarios where immediate breaking was needed on highway, you can say that it saved my life in one of the incident. 5/5 for abs braking system. Triumph engine is extremely reliable, fine-tuned. 4,500km in spread of 20 days was breeze. No issues at all. You can comfortably ride it between 130-140kmph on highways. Well that's my comfort level, you can be comfortable at even higher speed. There are people who drove this bike ~1.55lacks+ kilometer without issues. Triumph engines are rock solid built and superbly fine-tuned. cruise control really comes handy when you cover long distance, it allows you to relax your right hand. I just love everything about it. You can trust on the bike and feel confident to go around day in day out without worrying about anything. Just ride. Godspeed.

Had an amazing riding experience riding this bike. Thanks to rebel motorcycles pvt ltd, banjara hill, hyderabad for giving me an opportunity to ride two of their bikes (another being tiger xca). A farm house perfectly designed to see these bikes performed at there best, it was a near perfect terrain condition to ride them. Let me be very candid about it, it was my very first experience riding any bike above 500cc and it didn't feel like one until i rave up the gas throttle. With abs turned off i was initially sceptical about riding them on swamps. However i was gliding and sliding over the swamps with ease. Since i love to travel and occasional de'touring this is meant for me and i if i'm going to buy any hi-end bike its gonna be it or....Nothing!!!

Buying experience - bought this from harbour city motors - chennai . Buying experience was good , except for one bad apple sales exec who made the experience bitter.

Riding experience - amazing is an understatement . Well refined package and has the works on the go.

Looks and pref - not an enchantic drop dead gorgeous looker but would say its muscular and well built . Pref has been impeccable and trouble free till date . Touch wood !! :-p

Servicing and maintenance - very nominal charges - if you are buying a superbike , rather not crib about regular service charges etc . maintenance free for the moment.

Pros only - no cons . :) a well rounded well built package for those moving from sport bikes or other segments to adventure touring segment . You will never regret it ever .
