2016 Triumph Tiger 800 XR www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Technology

Trip Computer

The LCD screen displays time, ambient temperature, fuel gauge, gear indicator, odometer and journey distance.

The Tiger 800 XRx and XCx models add more functionality with extended information including: journey time, average speed, average fuel consumption, range to empty and instantaneous fuel consumption.

Electronic Riding Modes

Switch from road to off-road to rider programmable modes on the fly – and overcome the weather, the road and whatever nature can throw at you.

The Tiger 800 range offers three different Riding Modes that allow the adjustment of the throttle maps, ABS and TTC to suit different road conditions. Select either ROAD or OFF-ROAD mode and the throttle maps, ABS, and Triumph Traction Control are automatically set.

RIDER MODE allows you to configure these settings independently to suit your own personal riding style. In RIDER MODE, the throttle maps can be switched between RAIN, ROAD, SPORT, and OFF-ROAD settings.

Traction Control

Every Tiger 800 features first-in-class standard fitment of Triumph Traction Control (TTC) that prevents the unexpected spinning of the rear wheel and cuts the engine torque to avoid the loss of lateral grip.

The XCX and XRX feature advanced Traction Control with three settings: 1. ROAD: optimised for road use, allowing minimal rear wheel slip 2. OFF ROAD: allows increased rear wheel slip (XCX, XRX only) 3. OFF: disables the traction control setting

Controls

The Tiger 800 models feature Cruise Control as standard, making long journeys more comfortable and helping fuel efficiency.
