"Triumph unveiled four new Tiger 800 variants today at EICMA 2014 – the XR/XRx, and the XC/XCx. The former favor a more road-going bias with occasional light-duty off-roading, while the latter flip the script and prefer dirt to pavement. As standard fitment, all four models receive traction control, ABS and ride-by-wire throttle. XRx and XCx models come fitted with cruise control (the first in its segment) and three riding modes which enable the rider to control throttle response, traction control and switchable ABS. Further, XC models come equipped with WP suspension for greater off-road ability (Showa components adorn XR models). In the engine bay, all four Tigers are powered by the existing 800cc Triple.
However, Triumph claim a 17% increase in fuel economy over last year, jumping to 65 mpg vs. 55 mpg.
The lowercase “x” versions indicate the more premium versions of their respective models, which provide greater adjustability of the electronics. On non-x models, ABS and traction control can only be turned on or off, while the x bikes have the ability to customize settings via the different ride modes. For example, choosing the off-road setting disables rear wheel ABS for better stopping ability off the pavement, while TC allows greater slip in the rear compared to Road mode, which off-road riders obviously prefer.
