The Triumph Tiger 800 is a motorcycle model from the English motorcycle brand Triumph Motorcycles . The travel enduro has been manufactured in two versions in England and Thailand since 2010.

variants

At the beginning two variants were offered.

• The basic model without any additional name is intended as a motorcycle for everyday use and touring; it builds deeper with shorter suspension travel and should primarily be used on paved roads.
• The variant with the additional designation " XC " ( cross country ) differs from this by spoked wheels, the front of which is larger than the road variant , studded tires and longer spring travel, which should also make the motorcycle suitable for off-road use.

Both models were optionally available with an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and extensive accessories.

With the 2015 model year, the Tiger 800 was fundamentally revised. Frame, chassis and basic concept remained the same, but in addition to detailed changes in comfort (operation of the on-board computer, adjustability of the windshield, etc.), the engine control in particular was further developed into a modern concept. A ride-by-wire gas control enables various engine mappings, cruise control , traction control and other features.

As of 2018, the road variant received the addition XR and was offered in four sub-variants:

• XR: basic model
• XRx: additional TFT color screen, backlit operating elements, five-way adjustable windshield and four driving modes
• XRx low: like XRx, but with a lower seat height (adjustable)
• XRt: Compared to the XRx, more features such as five driving modes, seat and heated grips.

The XC variant received the sub-variants XCx and the slightly higher quality XCa.

All variants share the same platform.

From the 2020 model year, the Tiger 800 was replaced by the Tiger 900. In contrast to the 2015 and 2018 facelifts, this is a completely redesigned motorcycle.

To the formation

The idea for the “little tiger” under the 1050 comes from 2007. The characteristic duck's bill, the double headlights, the silhouette and the color scheme are similar to the BMW F 800 GS . It is also not disputed that the "little" GS was the godfather of the development. Many of the stylistic elements of the GS were not introduced by BMW, the duckbill who comes from Suzuki DR Big 750 S . Triumph can also look back on a long history in the off-road sector and, after the temporary end for the whole company, has had Tiger models in its portfolio again since the beginning of the 1990s.

construction

The liquid-cooled three - cylinder engine generates a nominal output of 70 kW (95 hp) and a maximum torque of 79 Nm at a speed of 7850 min ⁻¹ from a displacement of 799 cm³ . The three cylinders have a bore of Ø 74 mm, the pistons have a stroke of 61.9 mm with a compression ratio of 11.1: 1. In the cylinder head of the transversely installed in- line engine , two chain-driven, overhead camshafts rotate , which actuate two intake and two exhaust valves via rocker arms.

The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km / h. In a long-distance test over 50,000 km, Motorrad magazine measured an average fuel consumption of 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

Reviews

“The new three-cylinder is not as greedy as its little brother. The lascivious rev up and the speed addiction of the 675 are alien to the 800 unit. It may be because it has a longer stroke, 85 percent of all components have been redrawn and the flywheel is probably larger. […] Between 2000 / min and 9500 / min there should always be more than 70 Newton meters available, the three-cylinder delivers the maximum output of 95 hp at 9300 revolutions. That seems quite believable. It might read strange, but thanks to its exemplary elasticity, the Tiger can be driven almost like an electric vehicle. "

- Rolf Henniges : Motorbike

“No matter what the surface looks like, the Tiger's engine can be precisely dosed, hangs silky soft on the gas and can be driven in an extremely wide speed range. Incidentally, bad news for motorcycle freaks who associate "strong character" with engine vibrations. For them, the Tiger 800 will also be a soulless being in the XC version. [...] But standing in the pegs, the only conceptual disadvantage of the engine was revealed to me. On the one hand, the center of gravity of the vehicle is higher than that of boxers or single cylinders. On the other hand, the motorcycle is narrow in the area of ​​the seat, but wider at the front in the area of ​​the cylinder head than one is used to from such motorcycles. "

- Nils Müller : 1000ps.de

“The island's first real travel enduro is a good motorcycle. It is clearly based on the - all in all - slightly better BMW. Both machines offer everything for great driving pleasure. The Triumph is cheaper to buy, the BMW drives cheaper "

- ADAC Motorwelt

“The Triumph Tiger 800 XC ABS makes an overall beefy and distinctive appearance. It clearly shows that it can be used without worry where the actual purpose of vehicles in the Enduro segment lies. Nevertheless, the English woman is not lacking in elegance, which also makes it useful in normal urban surroundings. "

- Ingo Koecher : auto.de

“When driving, however, the 79 Nm torque, which the engine uses smoothly and more and more propulsion from 1500 rpm, is even more impressive. The three-cylinder accelerates very smoothly, implements commands spontaneously and precisely and delights with an astonishing uniformity of power output up to 9000 tours. This results in an incredibly wide usable speed range with which the triple can roll comfortably through winding villages even in sixth gear without grumbling. "
