Triumph Motorcycles unveiled its latest high-powered Tiger bike for the Indian market on Friday. The Tiger 1200 XcX has been priced at Rs 17 lakh (ex-showroom) and according to the company’s claims, all units have already been pre-booked.
It is interesting that Triumph has decided to launch the XCx variant straight away, which comes fully-loaded with all the bells and whistles.
So what’s new with the Tiger 1200 XCx, and what does it offer for its price tag? Here’s a look at all the details.
The Triumph Tiger 1200 XCx comes with a 1215-cc engine, and it claims to offer 141PS of power and 122 NM of torque.
Vimal Sumbly from Triumph suggested that the low-torque ratio of the new Tiger 1200 XCx will ensure you can ride this bike as your office going vehicle, and take it on a long adventure ride also.
The Tiger 1200 XCx gets LED daytime running lights (DRLs) and semi-active suspension for better ride handling. The latest iteration of Tiger 1200 is 11-kgs lighter than its predecessor, which ensures that the chassis as well the body to weight ratio is more manageable.
Just like the other Triumph bikes that have been launched recently, the Tiger 1200 XCx also gets TFT screen, which looks attractive and modern, compared to the old-style analog speedometer. You can switch riding modes, keep track of the bike’s temperature, and other features from this screen which is adjustable.
The handlebar also has been made lighter, which, according to the company, ensures that both male and female riders can easily adjust to their styles with the new Tiger 1200.
You get electrically adjustable windscreen, which is ideal for riders with different height. Ride-by-wire throttle ensures the bike caters to speeding needs, depending on the conditions they’re in. The modern-side of affair continues with the addition of two 12v socket and one USB port for charging your mobile phone.
The Tiger 1200 XCx offers up to six riding modes; hill-hold control is a blessing, just in case you lose balance. The changes made can be seen on the TFT screen.
