Triumph Tiger 800 XRX Low Ride Height Variant - Quick Ride Review

Описание: I was very very kindly loaned this lovely bike by Destination Triumph while they carried out the first service on my new Street Triple 765 R.

This is the blurb on the bike from Triumph's website:

"The new road-loving Tiger 800 XRX 'LRH' is an even more accessible version of this easy-handling bike, and is perfect for touring the world’s highways..
The contemporarily styled XRX 'LRH' model comes with an accessible 780mm seat height which is 50mm lower than the standard Tiger XRX, and has the adjustable seat set-up which offers another 20mm reduction to take the lowest seat height setting to 760mm, giving a new accessible riding position.
The more responsive Triumph 800 Triple engine, lighter exhaust system, new full-colour TFT instruments and switchgear, new five-position screen, and four riding modes are just a few of the many features designed into this latest generation XRX Low Ride Height model.
The 19-inch aluminium cast front wheel and Metzeler Tourance tyres work together with the dynamic systems of the XRX 'LRH' model to ensure an enjoyable comfortable all-road ride. You’ll immediately notice the control gained from a new shorter ratio first gear, giving you more low-speed traction and instant responsiveness right when you need it most. This, in addition to category-defining core technologies including ride-by-wire throttle and new premium Brembo front braking system.
The new Tiger 800 XRX delivers a full-on road-focused adventure every single day."

I really enjoyed my time on this "Adventure" style bike, and it really opened my eyes to the more practical side of biking I have mostly tried to avoid in the 27yrs I have been riding bikes. It is awesome that Triumph offer the low ride height versions, and this Tiger XRX 'LRH' or Low as it is also referred to is most definitely awesome. The bikes ground clearance is potentially an issue for those wanting to get proper adventury, but to the majority of folk who buy these bikes it will be all the bike they will need.

Thank you again to Destination Triumph for the loan, and the fantastic customer service I have had from you so far! :-)
