The Triumph Tiger 800's come in two main versions, a more road and more off-road setup. We took both for three weeks of solid adventure riding, taking in everything that we could find, from sheep dodging, to rivers, muddy tracks, fast roads, back roads and precisely 1.274 million u-turns for photo's and video.

Its October 2021 and I find this review very accurate. I own a 2016 XRX and I could not agree more. Spot on, honest review.

I have a 2014 Tiger800XR , 55k on the odo, I do travel a lot of long distances with it (fully loaded with a pillion) and do some off-roading as well. It is a great all purpose bike, especially if you have good tires on it (I use TKC70s). I highly recommend the older models, before the 'ride-by-wire' and 'tft screen' features as it is easier and cheaper to maintain.

Really a great review. As has been said, you don't say good or bad, just which areas each one lags and the other excels. Many thanks, and yes I will check out your website.

Have a 2012 XR with an aftermarket can and remapping. There is no flat spot anymore and it sounds really good. Outstanding linear power increase starting all the way down from 2,000 rpm to the top. Great sport bike handling and corner exit power on the XR and good dirt road ability as well. Very happy.

Still loving my 2013 800xc for all season, all terrain riding with 35k on the odo. The key to the XC (and XCx presumably) is tire choice appropriate to your intended uses. For me: Shinko 705 tires are a great 70/30 if you're a street rider with occasional dirt --- very sporty tire you can rip on tarmac -- while Mitas E-07 tires are great 50/50 if you really want to seriously ride dirt but still have good road manners. Beyond that, aside from some basic protection add-ons like AltRider bash plate and crash bars, the XC is a great all-rouder with ABS.

Nice review. I enjoy the channel reviews in general :-) I am torn between the KTM1050, BMW F800GSA, Triumph Tiger XCX... Seeing that you have had the opportunity to ride all of these, which would be the best all-round option for a 50/50 split between road and off-road use ? ( will also have a pillion rider every now and then ) Would really appreciate your insight. Cheers and keep up the good work !

1.274 million u-turns! haaaa haaa haaaa...thank you for the review. I am in the market and will be a new rider. I want something I can get on for a quick cruise down Highway 1 to Big Sure, CA and I feel like taking the road less traveled up into the mountains, I want something that could easily do that. I have been steered this way by a friend and local salesman.

I like the take on XR vs XC for offroading. You could have included even more head2head comparisons though - now it came down to that both were ok with some small differences, but celarly there must have been situations where one outperformed the other more clearly ? :)

Unfortunately "Triumph Italy" has not approved wheels are suitable to use the Tiger 800 XC / XCX / XCA in the land for which has been designed this fantastic bike. The only possible use in Italy is on an asphalt road. OFF road is absolutely not possible because of the lack of approval of suitable tires. Shame to see that the rest of the world does not have these problems ... Perhaps the problem is due only to the managers of Italian Triumph.

I would say that is very different on the tiger with TFT. It's a much better, more user friendly design.

Great review as usual except for one item as usual: sound. You try so hard to make a pleasant music video that you neglect your audience. You even talk about how great Triumph triples sound but do we get to hear it? Not so much. It's very much a part of motorcycling and one of only two mediums you have available to you on a video. Step it up Brake. This is not MTV.

Good explanation of the bikes mate! Thanks! 👍 But do you Honestly think their engines Sound Great???? You don't think it is closer to an electric egg mixer than a motorcycle??! (I love Triumphs by the way - I just can't get over that winging winding squeaking squealing noise it makes. Just horrible. Sorry mate. It is Horrible.

I can't help wonder why you take the trouble to comment twice about the engine sound. Obviously, it's not your cup of tea. Others, myself included, feel differently. In fact, I find the sound a lovely sound track for how the bike moves through space. Sorry you're not experiencing that. Maybe it's not the right bike for you.

After riding all sorts of motorcycles for 30 years - I am Shocked that Triumph still hasn't sorted out this squealing noise of the Tigers. I honestly don't know how their gave it that name and allowed the production while engine making that cheering horror. Triumph - WAKE UP. Pull cotton wool out of your ears! Apart from that - bikes are awesome. 👍

Personally I hated the engine high pitched sound, disconnected feeling from throttle to engine thanks to stupid fly by wire feature, no torque at low revs etc etc. IMO Tiger is OK only for road use and it's definitely overpriced.

Enduro Riders Just did over 2000 miles in VT and NH on my XCx. All on road, bike is fantastic. Even with the 21" front tire it handles great in the twisties. The adjustable WP suspension IMO is very nice and makes all the difference once you find the settings you like for your riding style.
