Triumph updated its Adventure models for 2018 and showcased them at the 2017 EICMA that was held in Milan last week. 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.

If the 1200 got 100 improvements, the 800 gets 200 improvements over the engine and chassis components making it more capable off-road and more comfortable. It shares the new full-color TFT instrumentation, heated seats and grips, all-LED lighting and backlit switchgear seen on the 1200.

The powertrain sees significant improvements in the form of shorter ratio 1st gear for enhanced off-road traction and responsiveness and gets a lighter, free-flowing silencer to create a raw soundtrack.

Electronic rider aids are not as extensive as that of the 1200 but still gets, ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control and up to six riding modes including the new “Off-Road Pro” mode (XC models only), which allows the rider to disengage the electronic rider aids.
