TRIUMPH TIGER XRX ENDEARING SPECIES

-

   British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph Tiger range of motorcycles has
gained an iconic status in a rather short while. They are recognised the world around for being rugged, reliable and being able to tackle all kinds of paths without
feeling crude, when on highways.


DESIGN AND STYLING


    Despite boasting of over 200 changes, this new Tiger 800 still sports a largely similar silhouette ,in a good way. There are some
tasteful changes that now make the bike more appealing. The front now comes with LED DRLs and sleek LED turn indicators. Both of these add a smart and somewhat mean looking character to the bike The 5-inch full colour TFT display on the new
Tiger is similar to the one on the.

      Street Triple RS. The display looksv vibrantand packs in a whole range of information and menus. There is high and low contrast mode and thanks to a light sensor, the bike can automatically switch between the two modes. The 5-way joystick
present on the left side of the handlebar makes navigating through the vast amount of options easy and intuitive. There is also a 12V power socket that you can use to charge accessories. If I were to nitpick,
would say that a USB socket would have been more accessible, but in the bike's defense the 12V socket is placed right in the front and not under the seat or some other hard to reach place Since I was riding
on cold winter mornings, really appreciated the hand guards and the heated grips You can heat the grips to 3 levels and the highest level makes things quite toasty!

    Adventure bikes are generally more accessible to taller people. The base Tiger 800 XR gets a saat height of 810-830mm but the XRx comes with an option of lower seating, bringing the seat height in the 760-780mm range. This makes the bike very
accessible for shorter riders. Triumph does this by Inwering the front suspension by 40mm and rear suspension by 20mm, which also means that you sacrifice on ground clearance. Even the 200kg dry
weight does not feel like much, especially when the bike gets moving.


ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE


    The new generation 800cc, liquid cooled, triple motor makes a healthy 93.7hp and 79Nm of peak torque. The peak power comes at 9,500rpm while peak torque comes at B050rpm. Despite these figures, a lot of torque is available in the Lower revs.
But the best thing about the motor would be the refinement and funling The bike was stable and planted on the highway at triple digit speeds and the manually adjustable wind screen along with the tank fairing provided a lot of protection from
wind blast event at break neck speeds. While the windscreen is quite tall, it could have been a few inches taller to completely shield tall rider when thay sit upright. On the highway we did manage to get about 22kmpl out of the bike. With a 19L fuel
tank, you can expect a range of more than 400km Even if you commute within the city.

      provide a push ride experience and
soak in all undulations. Going over
bad roads will not be a bother on this
ane. The ground clearance is plenty
and there is a bash plate to protect
the underside of the engine in case of
any accidental contact with rocks or
any other object that could damage
the angina.

    The XRx modnl that wa had
is oriented towards touring and it
axcolled in that aspect, But we did tread the rough terrains a bit with this bike and the performance was still impressive. The radial tyres are not best suited for the jungle and the low end could have done with just a little more grunt, but then you
have the Tiger ago XCx or the bigger Tiger 1200 to cater to those needs. Standing
tall on the Tiger 800 XRx while riding
through the jungle was a lot of fun and
the rough path did not make the ride
toa uncomfortable thanks to the
capable suspension system. While
the XCx gets an additional off-road
moda catered for the obvious, one
can tweak the XRx to a great extent
thanks to the amount of electronics
that can be controlled.

VERDICT


    The Tiger and is a capable motorcycle and it is a known fact. The new model only rofines the
formula further. The biggest feature that I admired
was the instrument panel which is not now for
Triumph but now comes in the
Tiger too. If you want a highway
tourer that can also take the
battered roads then the Tiger 800
XRx is a great pick for Rs 13.39
lakh [ex-showroom Delhi.

Kawasaki Vulcan s 2019

motorcycles which are quite different from them big American cruisers However, ever since the 1980s the Japanese big four have been serious in their meddling around in the cruiser territory and it is here that we were first introduced to the Kawasaki Vulcan. Starting in 1984 with a 750-cc and moving through a number of engine capacities along the way, even going up to 2,053 cc Today the Vulcan name is on three models: 900, 1700, and the one we shall talk about here, the 650-cc Vulcan S Design :  The Kawasaki Vulcan S reminds me a little of Harley-Davidson's V-Rod as far as the flow of the tank, with an all-new round-pipe perimeter frame. The motorcycle has a low, long, and meaty stance that looks all business. Aggressive business. Starting from the headlamp, the motorcycle's lines flow well across the modern-styled analogue tachometer and LCD display, the tank, and up to a comfortable wide seat that sits low. The passenger seat sits higher and

Yamaha Ténéré 700

The Japanese middleweight adventure bike is a genuine dual-purpose delight.. and it's knocked-up in an old moped factory in France.       P roper bike the Ténéré 700. It's one of those machines that's just 'right. From the brilliant balance of its chassis and perky performance of the 689cc parallel twin, to the luxuriously-damped suspension and flimsy build quality, Yamaha's middleweight adventure bike is reassuringly complete. Its off-road prowess doesn't detract from its tarmac skills, and road requirements don't impair its ability to romp along a Welsh mountain trail - and it's noticeably classier than Yamaha's other MT-07-derived models, too It's why the Ténéré blitzed our epic eight-bike adventure test in th November 2019 issue.          And, of course, the Yamaha has an attractive price. Despite all the quality and reliability you'd expect from a leading Japanese brand it's a sniff over £9000 on the road. While this means it's t
