2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XRT Review

[@leonardoramirez8970]

I have Triumph tiger 2018 xcx , I love my tiger , the triple engine on this generation is better sound and without vibration. Super sweet to travel 2up . No issues , no problems. I bought since 2019 brand new , I have 4 years and I recommend like sport touring bike with amazing electronic suspension semi active. Easy to make maintenance by yourself. The new generation is too different, this one is like big and strong street triple to long trips .

I'm going to regret not buying this one!!

This one I like. A newer model would be preferable. As for top heavy, on day to day use, only half fill the tank and top it up full for longer motorway riding. Nice sounding engine, but that clutch sure needed adjusting. I must admit, I was supprised at the low seat height for that type of bike. Have a look at the Explorer version, same boxes ticked, but yes I liked that one too.

This one was low because it's a street model, but I'm wondering if I added a pan, some engine guards, and some tires, wouldn't it be perfect for the lame dirt roads I like to explore? The Explorer models are just WAY too tall for me. I insist on being able to have both feet on the ground when stopped in high winds.

There's a lot a features on this bike. I had a 2019 Tiger 1200 XRT that I eventually traded for my Goldwing. The 1200 triple throws a LOT of heat on the rider's right leg. Riding in cold wether is great, but on those summer days that are 90+, you'll feel like you're being cooked. The Arrow exhaust is OEM. Don't ride with the missus on the back. It's top-heavy under normal loads, but a pillion on that bike is very difficult to manage.

Thank you, Jas!! Thank you for the heat warning. I HATE engine heat, something that keeps me off most Harleys and Indians (except the Scout). I had a wing, loved it. I want to take gravel roads though too, so I'm looking for the perfect lightweight all-rounder with a shaft drive. I haven't tried a Super Tenere yet. Honestly, the V85TT is still in the running. Short, Good for two-up, decent range, shaft drive. Support will be a problem though.
