To give the rider the handling, control and response<br />
they want to negotiate well-made roads and broken<br />
terrain in all conditions, the Tiger Explorer offers as<br />
standard multi-channel switchable ABS and traction<br />
control on the entry level XR and XC models. The<br />
other four variants come with cornering-optimised<br />
ABS and traction control, to ensure superb stability<br />
even when approaching the most challenging apex.<br />
The Explorer XCx, XCa, XRx and XRT all feature an<br />
Inertial Measurement Unit that, through a series<br />
of strategically positioned sensors, monitors<br />
and responds to the bike’s movement status,<br />
calculates the lean angle of the bikes and uses<br />
this measurement to ensure greater stability by<br />
optimising the performance of the ABS and traction<br />
control systems.<br />
Add to this the choice of up to five different Rider<br />
Modes – four which are pre-set and one which can<br />
be programmed by the rider – which alters the<br />
configuration of the bike to suit riding style, road and<br />
weather conditions.<br />
Additionally the new Hill Hold Control feature<br />
prevents the motorcycle rolling back when<br />
attempting to set off on a steep incline – particularly<br />
beneficial when the motorcycle is fully-loaded or<br />
carrying a passenger.<br />
A new engine with more power, improved handling,<br />
rider and active rider-focused technology packaged<br />
in a family of bikes with a contemporary look and<br />
style that are distinctly their own. Featuring sharp<br />
new lines giving a stylish and muscular look and<br />
combining to deliver enhanced rider and passenger<br />
thermal comfort. Additionally all models introduce<br />
a first-in-class electrically adjustable screen that<br />
allows the rider to constantly tailor aero protection<br />
and comfort whilst riding.<br />
The new Triumph Tiger Explorer range, with its<br />
choice of specifications and switchable, selectable<br />
and programmable features, is a range of bikes that<br />
allows riders to tailor their desired adventure, to go<br />
anywhere and everywhere from the daily commute<br />
to the corners of the earth.<br />
Triumph South Africa will only import the Explorer<br />
XC models as our South African consumers have<br />
a strong preference for spoke wheeled adventure<br />
motorcycles. The first shipment is expected early in<br />
April 2016. Full local test to come then.<br />
