Quotes
Motorcycle ---- "To guard against tip-over damage, the sweet and powerful three-cylinder powerplant gets protection from tubular-steel framework, while an aluminum sump guard shields from below. Hand guards are standard equipment on the XC. Dual fog lights streaming 55 watts each provide extra nighttime illumination. Expect an additional 15-20 pounds on top of the regular Explorer’s 570 ready-to-ride pounds."
asphaltandrubber ---- "Like its on-road counterpart, the 2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC also features a ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, cruise control, switchable anti-locking brakes (ABS) , and shaft-driven final drive. Expected to be in dealers by April 2013, Triumph has also tacked on a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, while service intervals are said to be every 10,000 miles. You can get the Triumph Explorer XC in any color you want, as long as it’s Khaki Green."
Motorcycle-usa ---- "Key to the rugged look of the XC are the new aluminum rimmed, steel spoked wheels. Maintaining the 19” front and 17” rear of the Explorer, the new Triumph-designed spoked wheels retain the Explorer’s incredible dynamic handling and provide the additional benefit of tubeless tires. If mid-adventure you find yourself suffering with a flat tire, the experience can soon turn into an adventure of a different kind! Triumph’s tubeless rims ensure this will not be the case and allow you to quickly resume your explorations without the need for an extensive tool kit or experienced tire fitters."
