New Triumph Tiger 800 XRT 2018 In-depth Review

[@mauriciosalgadoe9277]

I have the exact tiger 800 xRt (blue) since 2019 with 20k+ km, and I love this bike, not even thinking of selling it. Works great in the city and touring. Greetings from Mexico City!

[@assenvassilev5790]

If I may add a small correction: I have Tiger and early summer did a 3000 km trip with a friend with Africa Twin, we rode the same roads, same conditions and same speed. From this experience I can say that every time we fuelled the quantity was EXACTLY the same or within 50 ml difference for 15 litres which does not make a difference.

[@planetpeckham1]

I love the spontaneous laughter that punctuates your review! Great!

[@subhratim123]

A great review indeed. I love the way you have sectioned it according to what a rider is looking for in this motorcycle. This indeed helps my decision between XRX and XCA

[@mentalplayground]

Got XRx Version, currently close to 10000KM and love every moment on it.

[@carlosandleon]

what's the difference between thr Xr, Xrx and Xrt?

[@rantANDrave1987]

Triumph bikes just look to made of the upmost quality than any other manufacturer. I’ve never been much for this segment of bikes but this bike looks great

[@JFMotorcycles]

Hi Eric. That's right... It was very very pleasant experience and I even loved the blue color on it. What bike do you ride?

[@motodrang4287]

I have been astounded by the level of bike and service from Triumph.

[@JF24101]

Nice review, top filming too. Think I want one!

[@JFMotorcycles]

Thanks. When I enjoy the bike I always put a lot of efforts to make a nice video haha. Can't wait to test XC version and possibly 1200.

[@michalisxenopoulos2192]

Nice work with these reviews man. Informative but accessible in tone and packed with practical tips and insights.

[@JFMotorcycles]

Hi Michalis. Thank you very much for your comments. I appreciate it and it motivates me to work more on this. It is just a beginning so I believe it will be better and better.

[@hut5097]

I took the Tiger 800 on a test ride and noticed quite a bit of heat coming off the engine even after a pretty mild ride in 60d F weather. Not sure how bad it will get when it's hot out. That's my only complaint, I love the bike and hope to get one soon.

[@ecirlos4601]

Yes, a guy is selling one of those over here in Texas and he mentioned the same thing. The heat coming out the engine, specially in our weather of 100degrees Fahrenheit.

[@ssujjwal123]

Thanks for such nice review of the most wanted bike

[@JFMotorcycles]

You're welcome Subhash :)

[@RetroBiker]

Nice, honest review. Personally, I can't imagine why anyone would buy a twin over this superb triple, but that's just me :)

[@JFMotorcycles]

Understand! :)) Thanks.

[@banzai385]

When you ride a twin after the triple it is like going back in time , the triple is wayyyyy better, so smooth no vibration , Tiger or GS no contest I have ridden both a lot ,I bought the Tiger .

[@Bannister99]

This is what totally puts me off - I currently have a 2014 GS and it has plenty of low down torque that I'm worried I'd miss if switching to the Tiger 800.

[@RetroBiker]

more than adequate low down torque on the Tiger as well. You'll never know unless you ride one. I've ridden GS, 800 and 1200 Tigers; GS was bottom of the list for me :)

[@Bannister99]

Just looking at the specs. Tiger 800 ‎79 Nm @ 7,850 rpm, R1200GS 125Nm @ 6,500 rpm.

[@geuros]

good lord it looks even better than always. And sounds better than before! :) If I didn't like something about the previous, it was the constant whistle of the engine, this has it as well, but from what I heard mainly on idle.

[@trekkydelirium-vroom5821]

i like your laugh that showed us your pleasure driving that great bike; only con of that awesome bike is that it’s a very expensive bike; still one of my dream motorcycle; cheers

[@Esge71]

Great Review! Lots of different sections make this an interesting watch :)

[@JFMotorcycles]

Thank you so much for your comment. I am really happy you liked it.

[@fragdad]

Sold! Can I have the blue one please. No wait the white one! Nice vid man. Looks like you had a lot of fun.

[@ikefrew]

Great review as always, thanks.

[@peterkrajnc3213]

Another very very interesting review with a lot of Informations! Thx for this video. Best regards Peter

[@JFMotorcycles]

Thanks Peter! I appreciate it.

[@johnthompson9896]

I hope they've made the Starter motor more reliable too!

[@M2fiftycal]

Great review!

[@JFMotorcycles]

Thanks :)) I appreciate it.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Only bike I'd rate above it is the Guzzi 85tt with the shaft drive - no chain to oil or adjust.

[@JFMotorcycles]

Strong point. It is embarrassing to keep adjusting and cleaning the chain all the time. Good point.

[@tinks43]

Great review & great bike, Cheers!

[@guyedwards6696]

I like the constant laughing. Good review

[@cjones6403]

Seeing you standing next to the bike I have to ask how tall are you and your inseam? I’ve always wanted an XC being a dirt rider but having a 28” inseam it’s just not practical as I can’t touch comfortably to dab my foot in the dirt or walk the bike in a parking lot. The XRT fits great though. Any opinion on this model vs the mid tier XRX from a feature vs price best value perspective?

[@JFMotorcycles]

Hi there... I would truly like to help, but I am not having the proper answer in my head. I would need to study the details of the versions and then do some math... I enjoyed all the luxury of the highest version, but I could live without it. The biggest upgrade on XRT seems the suspension and it is difficult for me to compare as I haven't ridden the XRX. Some more riding modes or heated saddle I could sacrifice for sure. Central stand can be bought aftermarket easily and it is very important when touring with side bags.

[@UncleWally3]

What’s the difference between the Street Triple 765 engine and the Tiger’s mill?

[@foc1231]

hello my name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. Congratulations on the video, I really enjoyed it and look forward to the arrival of this new generation of Tiger here. Which camera did you use in the shoot ?? Perfect image!!!

[@JFMotorcycles]

Hi Francisco. Nice to hear someone from Brazil and thank you. In this video I used more cameras and technologies. There a few Drone shots in the beginning (DJI Mavic Pro). In the first section where I describe the bike I use a camera Sony A7 and then when I ride I used two GoPro 6. GoPro 6 are basically most important for me... their stabilization is awesome.

[@foc1231]

JF Motorcycles thanks

[@jblue1299]

Do you find that this bike will dive when applying brakes suddenly?

[@JFMotorcycles]

Let me think... I don't think it was anything unusual. There is inverted fork and not that high front suspension travel, so this was not an issue.

[@philclarke7712]

12 waltz connector for when the ambassador invites you to dinner.

[@splodge57]

Enjoyed the review and like the bike. As you said a twin would be my preference. Shame Triumph don't do a version using the Bonneville engine, or would that be the Scrambler?

[@JFMotorcycles]

Hi! Only thing realted to this which is coming to my mind is that it is clear that Triumph is working on 1200 cc Scrambler. This may be something interesting. I can't wait to review one :)) Thanks for comment.

[@splodge57]

Look forward to that one! Cheers.

[@DragosDreamer1989]

2:24 - Seriously? Triumph couldn't be bothered to put a knob on the preload adjuster?

[@tonypayne2953]

How tall are you please?

[@anoopsvineed]

poor audio use a good mic JF motorcycles

[@JFMotorcycles]

Unfortunately there is not anything much better on the market.

[@runningnosejoe]

pls improve the voice audio

[@Leandro-up9ht]

Those front brake cables... just can´t understand... so sloppy

[@박광근-e7e]

타이거 짱 ^^*@

[@philclarke7712]

Great review!
