2015 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC ABS

• PERFORMANCE

Like the Explorer, the Tiger Explorer XC gets our big, proven 1215cc three-cylinder engine. Built with modern technology to be strong, dependable and have the low maintenance levels you need on long adventures.

You can get plenty of torque and power from the Tiger Explorer XC, a hefty 137PS and 121Nm. And, not just that, it’s useable torque low down in the rev range where you need it.

• DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMS

Double overhead camshafts operate the four valves per cylinder for an engine that does what it was made to do even when the bike is fully loaded with rider, passenger, a full complement of luggage and facing a steep mountain climb.

• SHAFT DRIVE

We designed a rugged transmission comprising of a strong six-speed gearbox and an exceptionally tough shaft final drive for the Tiger Explorer XC. This gives you smooth power delivery yet is capable of dealing with the shocks and knocks it can face off-road.

And, it hardly needs any maintenance, so you can get on with your ride without worrying about it.

• FUEL EFFICIENCY

As a Triumph, the Tiger Explorer XC is highly efficient too, giving you 68 mpg at a steady 56mph and, just as importantly, it comes complete with the engaging character and soundtrack you expect from a Triumph triple.

• RIDE-BY-WIRE

Designed to be as tough as the rest of the Tiger Explorer XC, the fuel injection is controlled by a ride-by-wire throttle system using computer control to give you the torque you need in the most efficient, predictable way.

• SUSPENSION

The suspension on the Tiger Explorer is built to cope with any kind of riding condition. We used tough 46mm forks at the front with an extended 190mm of travel, ideal for rough roads and long distance comfort.

And at the rear, the single shock provides 194mm of travel and features a hydraulic remote preload adjuster and adjustable rebound damping.

• BRAKES

Braking is looked after by a pair of 4-piston callipers and twin 305mm discs at the front backed up by a single rear disc, all controlled by our advanced, switchable electronic ABS system.

• WHEELS AND TYRES

The aluminium rim, wire-spoke wheels on the Tiger Explorer XC are lightweight and highly resilient, 17 inches diameter at the rear and 19 inches at the front, and come fitted with tubeless tyres.

• FOG LIGHTS

High performance 55w dual fog lights increase visibility for added security in poor riding conditions.

• TRACTION CONTROL

The Tiger Explorer XC also comes with traction control as standard to give you added safety and confidence in slippery conditions. The system reassuringly keeps wheel slip to a manageable level by reading the speeds of both wheels, along with numerous engine parameters, and adjusts performance to assist the rider in maintaining a safe course.
