2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC

The new Tiger Explorer XC is ready for your next adventure

Tiger Explorer. All-new bike. All-new excitement.

The ultimate choice for the long haul adventurer. Class-leading handling. The journey doesn’t have to end when the Tarmac does. Brand new, 1215cc engine, with shaft drive of course. A Triumph to take on the world.

Looking for even more adventure?

The new Tiger Explorer XC is ready for your next adventure. The XC isn’t just designed to get you noticed. It’s designed to go the distance on road or off the beaten track. That’s because it has the Explorer’s incredible dynamic handling, plus all the kit you need to keep going when things get challenging, including new aluminium rimmed, steel spoked wheels with tubeless tyres, hand guards, engine bars and fog lights. That’s on top of the shaft-driven 1,215cc triple that produces 137PS and 121Nm of torque, the cruise control and switchable ABS.

 

2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC Features and Benefits

The new Tiger Explorer XC gets new, aluminium rimmed, steel spoked wheels – 19 inch front and 17 inch rear, with tubeless tyres for ease of repair should your adventure get the better of your tyres.

And if that doesn’t go far enough for you, there’s a full range of Genuine Triumph Accessories that let you really make it your Tiger Explorer XC.
