Perfect package for an entry level adventure-tourer motorcycle
Verdict – The Triumph Tiger 800 XRx is an entry-level motorcycle in the adventure category. However, it has a better presence on the road while having some capabilities to go off-road and have some fun. The Tiger XRx has the mix of both worlds and it isn’t the costliest of the lot. It fits right in for the people looking for a bike that is an upgrade from anything below 500cc and has the adventure spirit within. Also not to forget, it can be a better touring machine with the right minds to explore. The best part about owning one would be the exhaust note and the inline-3 whistle.

Just a basic size comparison with the top of the line Ducati Multistrada
What’s Cool
* The power delivery is linear and sounds really amazing
* Riding dynamics are predictable and the bike rides surefooted
* Available in a slew of variants, there is a Tiger for everyone
What’s Not So Cool
* The low handlebar and seating ergonomics are not comfortable
* The windshield is just for wind protection, you cannot look through it
