After their Bonneville range, it’s the Tiger models that give the British brand their numbers. So much that Triumph feels no inhibitions with having six different models with their 1200 and 800 series. The top of the range XRT is the road going version whereas the XCA is the top-spec off-road ones.

As regularly updating their line-ups go, Triumph is giving their 2018 Tiger range a host of bells and whistles that will boast of having it ’Transformed,’ with a ’New Tiger Triple Engine’ and ’New Tiger Technology.’ Apart from this, the bodywork also gets mild updates to look fresh for 2018.

Check out this video where Triumph shows off the skills learned by the 800 all these years:

With all these updates coming through to 2018, the Tigers sure have enough mettle to wade off competition. Yet, the path is not all that clear especially with the GS series from BMW getting a full update as well for 2018 and KTM’s adventure motorcycles making all that noise in the industry. A gain in performance numbers would have sealed the deal. Nonetheless, Triumph has given it the right balance of technology and approachability for riders to reach new levels of satisfaction with the 2018 Tigers.
