2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XCA

Only 2,635 Miles on this 2018 Triumph XCA!!!                              The top-dog, or Top of the line- Tiger 1200 XCA features six riding modes: Off-Road Pro, Off-Road, Road, Sport, Rain and a Rider-Customizable mode, as well as programmable power levels, traction control, ABS intervention and more. 1,215cc three-cylinder.  It is significantly lighter and more manageable than years prior. With a 33.7-inch seat height, it can be easily adjusted to 32.9 inches.                                                                                                                              Off-road, the Triumph Tiger 1200 handles more capably than a 600-pound motorcycle should. It’s semi-active suspension and off-road-ready ABS and traction control work flawlessly.                                                                                 The XCA sports an Arrow carbon/titanium exhaust system. The XCA is the most powerful shaft-drive bike in the class.        The connection between the throttle and the rear wheel feels delightfully precise. Drive lash is very minimal and combined with the excellent engine mapping, power application and on/off throttle transitions are seamless; you wouldn’t know this is a shaft-drive bike if you didn’t look down at the single-sided swingarm.      A tiny joystick mounted on the left-side controls makes navigating through ride modes and settings much easier than before, while the new backlit switchgear and adjustable 5-inch TFT instrument screen proved very visible and workable.    The Tiger 1200 works splendidly as a comfy, all-day sport/sport-touring bike. With a broad powerband, plenty of horsepower and the new quickshifter, this thing really cranks through the twisties. Flying in extra hot into tight downhill corners reminds you it’s a 600-pound machine you’re pushing around rather than a 450-pound hypersport; the dual, four-piston radial Brembo front brakes are up to the task.    The semi-active suspension with top-shelf WP components front and rear are truly state-of-the art, delivering a comfortable and compliant ride while maintaining spot-on springing and damping automatically—it’s simply brilliant.      Steering feels very neutral, requiring only a medium-light amount of effort through the wide handlebar. This new bar bend adds to rider ergonomics for a seat/peg/bar combination that’s simply terrific for use while seated or standing, the perfect middle ground for a six foot rider.                   Overall, the Tiger 1200’s a joy to ride hard, ride all-day long, or both. The new, larger, electrically adjustable windscreen provides a big still-air pocket for the rider, and extra kudos to the seat, which is flat for easy movement, wide and superbly cushioned.   The 2018 Tiger 1200 stands tall among full-on adventure bikes.   This one is clean with only 2,635 miles on it!!!
