2011 Triumph Tiger 800







The unveiling of the 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 was much anticipated, and the public got their first look at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy on Nov. 2.

The Tiger 800 is Triumph's answer to the BMW F800GS, but with more power. The new adventure touring Triumph is designed to take on the urban environment and more.

The Tiger 800 (which is also available in a more rugged 800 XC) features a commanding, upright position, adjustable handlebars and seat and a 799cc inline triple contained inside a tough steel frame.

The Tiger 800, which follows Triumph's other unveilings last month at Intermot (Thunderbird Storm, America and Speedmaster) brings adventuring touring to the line up, a new element to the UK manufacturer that has been around for 109 years.

Satu Mehta (Vice President of Sales for Triumph North America) says: "Entering the adventure touring segment is big news for everyone at Triumph, and we know from customer comments that they're just as excited."

"Triumph's new adventure motorcycles give us a strong offering in every motorcycle category and a great platform to build on in the coming years."

The new Triumph Tiger 800 is strong, powered by the 94-hp triple with multipoint, sequential electronic fuel injection. The Tiger 800 is built for both the city and open road, with the adjustable seat will compensate for many different rider heights.
