2016 Triumph Tiger Explorers on sale

The updated machines announced at the 2015 Milan motorcycle show are here, in five separate variants

Triumph's updated 1200 Explorer adventure range is now on sale in Australia, across the following models:

•    Tiger 1200 Explorer XCx
•    Tiger 1200 Explorer XCx – Low seat
•    Tiger 1200 Explorer XCa
•    Tiger 1200 Explorer XRx
•    Tiger 1200 Explorer XRt

Just like the company's Tiger 800s, the Explorer range comprise the road-biased XRs (cast wheels) and the off-road biased XCs (wire wheels).

The 1200 Explorers feature electronic semi-active WP suspension via an inertial measurement unit,, five rider modes, lean angle anti-lock braking and traction control, all delivered through a ride-by-wire throttle.  

Moreover, the range-topping XCa and XRt models have electronically adjustable windscreen, heated grips, heated seats, cruise control, hand guards, hill hold control and a range of protective accessories. There's also a taller touring screen.

All six models are powered by a 1215cc triple and shaft final drive. The engine produces 139hp at 9300rpm and 123Nm at 6200rpm.

The 'low' version of the XCx has a set height of 785mm. The standard XC seat height is between 837-857mm.
