Triumph Tiger 800 XCA (Standard)

The Tiger 800 remains one of the default options for those seeking a middleweight adventure tourer. For the 2019 model, Triumph has updated the motorcycle with all-LED lighting, colour TFT screen, apart from new touring aided features like a heated seat, LED auxiliary lamps and a centre stand.

The XCa is the top-spec off-road biased version of the Tiger 800. To match the same, it features 43mm WP inverted front forks with 220mm of travel. They have adjustable rebound and compression. At the rear is a WP monoshock with 215mm of travel. Since it is biased towards the unpaved path, the Tiger XCa gets spoked rims with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear diameters. The wheels come shod in Bridgestone Battle Wing dual-purpose tyres, 90/90-R21 for the front and 150/70-R17 for the rear.

The base equipment list consists of switchable ABS, a traction control system (TCS), adjustable seat height, adjustable brake and clutch levers, 12V power sockets and USB port. In addition to that, the XCa features a full-colour TFT screen with three new display styles, taking the total to six. Apart from that, the XCa also gets an additional sixth riding mode which is fully customisable by the rider. The motorcycle continues to be powered by the same 800cc inline-three that punches out 94bhp of max power and 79Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox.

The Triumph Tiger 800 XCa competes directly against the likes of the BMW F850 GS and Honda Africa Twin in the country.
