Triumph Motorcycle India has launched the 2017 Triumph Tiger Explorer XCx in India. The adventure bike will be sold as completely built units (CBUs) in the country with a price tag of Rs 18.75 lakh (ex-showroom). The XCx is the top-end, off-road oriented model and it carries the same silhouette of the outgoing model.
The bike is powered by the same 1,215cc, in-line three cylinder engine but with revised tuning. The updated Euro-IV/BS-IV motor makes 137PS and delivers a torque of 123Nm, both more than the outgoing version. The new Tiger features an electrically adjustable windscreen and a semi-active suspension for better long ride experiences. The electronic package receives ride-by-wire along with a choice of riding modes (Road, Rain and Off-Road) as well as a programmable Rider mode to save specific settings. The bike also gets cornering ABS, traction control and a new inertial measurement unit (IMU) that assists for better control. The new IMU calculates lean angles to deliver traction and braking power accordingly.
