Triumph Tiger 800 XCA | Owners review |

[@jasonbehr7144]

You removed the db killer on the arrow, do you notice droning around 3K-6K RPM? I recently put a stock pipe back on mine and a Madstad windscreen, now extremely quiet, but I wonder if my issue was more with the stock windscreen buffeting and not the loud exhaust. My Arrow doesn't have the db killer anymore nor can I find one for it.

Yes slightly, But nothing to shout home about

I wish I had longer legs lol looks an alright motorbike.

Many people do worry about the tigers height and I can see why, however you can do some pretty easy mods to lower it!

[@GMotiveDrivesRides]

@@TremourSphereUK Oh, lowering kits ?

[@TremourSphereUK]

@@GMotiveDrivesRides yeah, you can essentially get kits that lower the bike beyond its normal amount. To help people below 6ft, as you are correct they are very much like an enduro bike height wise as standard

The XCA is the more offroad focused version with longer suspension travel and a larger front wheel. But there are road focused versions of the same bike (XRA I think?) which are lower. They are easy to spot because they have cast alloy wheels rather than the spokes of the higher offroad bikes. Both versions have a lower seat height setting too. For most riders the road focused version will be absolutely fine for all but serious off road riding. I am 5ft 8" with a 30" inseam and can flat foot the road version of the gen 1 Tiger 800. Try one and you might be OK.
