WE SAY: MORE POWER, NOVEL GADGETRY AND ADDED COMFORT MAKE FOR A BRILLIANT ALL-TERRAIN TOOL

Triumph Tiger Explorer XCx

Let’s face it, roads alone can paint a clear picture of the advancements a nation has made over the years, and currently, India’s canvas isn’t attracting a lot of eyeballs for all the right reasons.

Now, there are two ways to deal with our pathetic road conditions – we either bring an end to the rampant corruption that’s hampering our progress or buy a set of wheels that can help us cope with bad roads. No prizes for guessing which option we Indians are warming up to – SUVs and on/off-road motorcycles are getting ever so popular in India, and their ability to tackle the worst our roads have to offer make them the ideal choice of weapon. A classic example being the Triumph Tiger. This is the Explorer XCx, the biggest and most feature-rich Tiger 1200 you can buy in India today.

In its latest avatar, the Explorer may resemble its predecessor but Triumph tells us it’s an all-new motorcycle underneath. Right from hardware to software and even the aesthetics, everything has undergone a complete overhaul and the Explorer now comes across as more rider-friendly than before. Take, for instance, the modern chassis; there’s a new, lighter frame along with which Triumph has also thrown in the best-in-the-business semi-active WP suspension. What it has done to the Explorer is, it’s added a new level of agility and comfort both on- and off-the-road.
