Triumph Tiger Explorer

At last months EICMA motorcycle show Triumph motorcycles debuted the much anticipated Triumph Tiger Explorer, their challenger to the all conquering BMW R 1200 GS.

Triumph Tiger Explorer

With an all-new 1215cc three-cylinder engine producing 137PS with 121Nm of torque, a new ride-by-wire electronic throttle, cruise control, plus switchable traction control and switchable ABS are  standard fitment. A tough shaft drive system has been developed,togther with 10,000 miles between servicing.

This will undoubtedly prove to a compelling option for many adventure sports riders and it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the BMW GS over time?

Ride safe.
