The Tiger XRx 800 is part of Triumph’s adventure motorcycle series. While the entire Tiger range is known for its ability to tackle various terrains, the XRx, specifically, is more of a long distance tourer than a dedicated off-roader.
The Tiger XRx uses the 800cc three-cylinder engine that produces 94bhp and 79Nm. The six-speed transmission delivers the power to the rear wheel via a chain drive setup. A tubular steel trellis frame underpins the motorcycle that uses Showa 43 mm upside down forks at front and Showa monoshock at the rear with preload setting for two-up touring.
Like all the adventure motorcycles, the XRx also gets mainstand that is useful during long rides. With the new European regulations the motorcycle gets ABS that can be turned-off manually. The biggest highlight of the XRx is the ride by wire technology – this basically reduces the function of the accelerator cable, thereby reducing the moving parts and also increasing the precision of the throttle input.
The XRx gets 19-inch cast aluminium wheels at the front and similar 17-inch wheels at the back. The stopping power is provided by twin 308 mm discs with twin calipers at the front and single 225 mm disc at the rear.
While the XRx does not have much competition in the 800cc segment apart from other models in the Tiger series, there are few adventure motorcycles across the range. The Benelli 600 GT is an entry-level adventure motorcycle, while the Kawasaki Versys and the Suzuki V Strom are for those looking for more power.

Review: The bike is just awesome, no wonder people across the globe just loves it. I did around 4.5k in a single trip of 21 days and it dint fail to amaze me all the while. Of course you are comfortable in long distance, for pillion it may be little problematic in long distance, as the rear seat is slanted and if you are riding in summer, your bum will sweat and your skin will be even more delicate and if you get dragged forward every now and then, then pillion rider's bum will beg for mercy. For rider no issues. Cornering is pretty decent. Turning radius will be little bigger if you compare with its rival versys 650. Nevertheless, cornering is comfortable and confidence inspiring. Got into few scenarios where immediate breaking was needed on highway, you can say that it saved my life in one of the incident. 5/5 for abs braking system. Triumph engine is extremely reliable, fine-tuned. 4,500km in spread of 20 days was breeze. No issues at all. You can comfortably ride it between 130-140kmph on highways. Well that's my comfort level, you can be comfortable at even higher speed. There are people who drove this bike ~1.55lacks+ kilometer without issues. Triumph engines are rock solid built and superbly fine-tuned. cruise control really comes handy when you cover long distance, it allows you to relax your right hand. I just love everything about it. You can trust on the bike and feel confident to go around day in day out without worrying about anything. Just ride. Godspeed.

Had an amazing riding experience riding this bike. Thanks to rebel motorcycles pvt ltd, banjara hill, hyderabad for giving me an opportunity to ride two of their bikes (another being tiger xca). A farm house perfectly designed to see these bikes performed at there best, it was a near perfect terrain condition to ride them. Let me be very candid about it, it was my very first experience riding any bike above 500cc and it didn't feel like one until i rave up the gas throttle. With abs turned off i was initially sceptical about riding them on swamps. However i was gliding and sliding over the swamps with ease. Since i love to travel and occasional de'touring this is meant for me and i if i'm going to buy any hi-end bike its gonna be it or....Nothing!!!

Buying experience - bought this from harbour city motors - chennai . Buying experience was good , except for one bad apple sales exec who made the experience bitter.
Riding experience - amazing is an understatement . Well refined package and has the works on the go.
Looks and pref - not an enchantic drop dead gorgeous looker but would say its muscular and well built . Pref has been impeccable and trouble free till date . Touch wood !! :-p
Servicing and maintenance - very nominal charges - if you are buying a superbike , rather not crib about regular service charges etc . maintenance free for the moment.
Pros only - no cons . :) a well rounded well built package for those moving from sport bikes or other segments to adventure touring segment . You will never regret it ever .

Best bike but too pricey!

1. Never purchased this bike but have seen in many of the youtube videos but only if i test ride it i will understand.
2. Never rode the bike though but as the saying goes you like it only then u buy it otherwise do not, hence if i like the bike i can buy it but i'll have to invest a lot for this beast.
3. This bike has always been on my bucket list after i see this bike with a youtuber whom i follow crazily, hence looks are damn beautiful and good, performance is amazing, it is really easy for people to play through the cities traffic without any hectic issues. For adventures it is really awesome, though it's a pricey bike it marks up to your standards. But everyone has their own needs with the bike. Hence everyone will have different opinions.
4. Not sure about this but as per i saw in videos the servicing is really great, and the maintenance is high, you've to spend like almost 10k (not sure about this) for the maintenance alone which is again an issue for few people.
5. Pros: really great bike, feels light, no issues with the performance
cons: for the base model you don't get barkbusters, crash guards and the beak, if you want these items included in your bike then you'll have to spend 2-3 lakhs more than the base price.
