Triumph Motorcycles has officially launched the new Tiger 1200 XCX motorcycle in India. With the brand calling it the most advanced Tiger model ever to hit the streets, this bike has been priced at INR 17 lakh (ex-showroom). This makes it cheaper than the older model, thanks to the drop in taxes on CBU models.
With over 80 years of heritage, the new Tiger 1200 is purpose-built to tackle on-road as well as off-road adventures.
Powering the new 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XCX is a 1,215cc, triple-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke motor producing 141 HP of peak power and 122 Nm of peak torque matched to a 6-speed gearbox.
