- 2015 Triumph Tiger 800 XCx Review
www.revzilla.com/common-tread/...
For 2015, the Tiger 800 XCx gets a long list of updates and improvements. Without any major changes since its 2010 introduction, the previous generation was getting a bit long in the tooth. Both the XC and the XCx received an updated gearbox, an all-new throttle-by-wire system claimed to improve fuel efficiency by 17 percent, switchable traction control coupled with the updated ABS package, and an adjustable WP suspension designed to tackle duties both on and off the road. The XCx version goes one step further with additional hard parts, such as crash bars, plastic hand guards, an aluminum skid plate, and a center stand. An advanced computer provides information on fuel consumption, hours and miles traveled, and the ability to enable self-canceling turn signals. But the real upgrade is the electronics package. Riders get to choose from three modes: On Road, Off Road, and Rider mode, the last of which is completely programmable. Once in Rider Mode, you can choose from four different throttle maps, Rain, Off-Road, Road, and Sport, ranging from least to most sensitive. Throw in class leading electronic cruise control and you have a bike that is not only a huge improvement over its predecessor, but is also a substantial leap for ADV motorcycling as a whole.

Man..I love your video production. Very easy to hear the reviewer, great camera, angles, non-boring information, the total package!
+EverythingisFire Thanks!
Must be the Bike! That’s good
That was one of the best/most informative bike reviews I have ever seen! Great job Revzilla!!! Keep em coming!!!
This is by far the best review of the 800xcx on UA-cam. In terms of quality, production, editing and composition. I love the subtle jungle connotations throughout the video. No shenanigans, no gimmicks but both brick bats and roses. Thank you for hitting the right notes when it comes to bike reviews! Very informative. I would love to see some visual hints on the technical aspects which tend to get too verbose when Spurgeon is talking.
This has become one of my favorite UA-cam vids... well done and well presented! I've been looking at many bikes and this XCx keeps coming back to the front for me, and this vid really helps because you actually show AND talk about it. Thanks!
Man! Revzilla has sure come a very long way. kudos to them all. wish you guys much more success!
As a 2014 Tiger owner I can say that this review is absolutely spot on. It's great to see that the reviewer knows what he's talking about and has tested it properly rather that the rubbish we get these days from the bike mags - half an hour ride at the launch. Well done - look forward to more.
By far till this day, one of most detailed as well as an honest review capturing the basic nuances that too keeping whole thing short and crisp. Well done guys !!
Hands down...the BEST review quality ever! You guys do an awesome job in reviews and this review is great too. This is a high quality production that answers the questions I would ask, but doing so in a manner that makes me want this bike. So refreshing to get an English speaking reviewer, instead of another Aussie or Brit. I was beginning to wonder if anyone in America were doing reviews. No offense to the people across the pond, but I like to understand what is being said. Oh...I love this bike. Great job....i am subscribing.
fantastic production on this video guys!
Sup chase
Guys, i just witnessed the best review on the whole youtube! Filming,expressions, speech - all things are just flawless, thanks a lot for your work! You just got a subscriber and like from Russia =)
You guys do incredibly professional reviews. I really, really dig these, especially when you talk about the mods you would do to make it yours. I'm pretty new to motorcycles so I'm looking around at what's there and it's cool to see what seasoned riders think about things. Keep 'em coming!
Really good review. I wasn't expecting this from revzilla, good job guys. Bike is also something I've recently drooled to get some day.
Just test rode this bike the other day and your review was very informative , keep up the good work
We need a revisit for the 2019.
It's the tiger 900 now
I like this guy....I'm looking forward to more reviews done by him....nice job Revzilla
toe knee I am looking forward to getting my hands on a few more bikes! Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Spurgeon Dunbar dude your sick
So true, amazing review!
2022. I own the 2015 Triumph 800 XCX . I loved this bike. I don't take it off road anymore. She's now a cruiser. The cruise control is fantastic with TC. Thank you.
great review! loved the details and the camera work! keep it up, guys!
WOW that was an over the top review guys. I really enjoyed watching it, though we don't have Triumph here in my country :(
I really hope you review BMW 1200GSA in the future.
Faisal Almaiman Thanks! Where do you live that they won't let you have a Triumph?
Spurgeon Dunbar I'm from Saudi Arabia and its not that they won't let me have it, it's the fact that we don't have a dealership here.
Faisal Almaiman Ah, I see. Well, hopefully we can get our hands on a BMW sooner than later to put through the paces for you. What is the riding like there? Is there a big dual-sport/adventure bike scene?
Spurgeon Dunbar
Actually no. it's very rare to see someone buying a dual sports bike in
here though you'd see all kinds of other bikes. They mostly buy ATVs for riding
them in the sand since there is plenty of it here. I have a 2014 V-strom though;
I bought it to ride long distances and some touring, also because of its price
and comfort.

Really loving these reviews. Keep 'em coming!
Great review! Been impressed with your bike reviews, keep them coming!
Well done Spurgeon! I'm keeping the stock tires for now and staying mainly on asphalt. May be a set of TKC 70's in my kitten's near future though.
I came off a Deauville for the Tiger so the throttle issue was noticeable for me but just as you pointed out, it's not a problem after getting used to it, in fact it's fantastic.
The computer is indeed wonky to navigate but I switch between 2 modes only, road and offroad, so even though it feels awkward to have to reach for the console to switch modes, it's infrequent. The cruise control is highly worthy.
I did drop 6 clicks on the rebound and compression on the front and 1.5 counter clockwise turns on the back which did make it handle better for me offroad.
I would add that the stock windshield is inadequate. I replaced it with a madstad before the break-in service at 600 miles.
Looking forward to more from you!
Matt Bickford I appreciate it Matt. From reading your posts it sounds like not only are you an avid rider, but also one who has had a lot of experience with different bikes. I enjoy reading all of the feedback you are leaving for other riders on here.
The TKC 70's are supposedly a great tire. I have used the TKC 80's already and those bad boys just don't hold up on the street for the amount of miles I put on bikes. I was pleasantly surprised with the Mitas E-07s, they handled surprisingly better on the street than I had thought they would. If you end up trying a set of the TKC 70's before I do I would be interested in your thoughts.
If you're ever rolling through the northeast, make sure to look me up, first round is on me!
The bike reviews are excellent! Of course we want to hear about the good stuff, but we need the lows as well. You deliver on that! Great work you've been doing, keep it up!
Excellent high quality review. Really enjoying the new bike review content!
Also, you should try and get your hands on a 2015 triumph street triple rx to review.
The absolute best review for the Triumph Tiger 800 yet!!
Well done folks....
Fantastic review! the Z makes the best product reviews on the tube. Keep it up guys and I will be sure to stop there and buy all my gear when I return to the states and pick up my bike.
Dude no one comes close to your video production quality, thank you guys for all your hard work
This is how all motorcycle reviews should be. Reviewed while ridden, good pro's, good cons and some usefull tips on improving the machine overall. Very good job! Spurgeon Dunbar is an EXCELLENT choice! Keep them coming!
Stephen Kooijman I appreciate the kind words! Lemmy and I are really enjoying the opportunity to shoot these. Thanks checking it out!
what a production and sound quality you have here... loved every seconds of this review. you need to tag review videos so we can find them easily
Time and time again the crew at RevZilla nail it. Anything Im researching from a new bike to a pair of gloves I check to see if RevZilla have done a review cuz its gonna be thorough, succinct, informed and enthusiastic.
I've been watching reviews on adventure bike for 6 months now trying to decide. My biggest thing was I live in Connecticut. Where will I ever take it off road? Now I see the best videos review yet, and the bikes got a CT plate. Great review guys. Seriously, one of the best I've seen.
A great review on a great bike! Really like the revzilla take on bike reviews. Look forward to more videos like these! Keep up the good work.
Very professional review guys! Beautifully captured and very informative. As good a review as I've ever seen!
Greg got away Blows it away easily. The BMW 1200 GS on the other hand is a really great beast of bike.
F*cking awesome review! I am so glad that they are letting you and Lemmy make real reviews. I really appreciate that you guys are talking about the bikes shortcomings. It drives me nuts when someone does a "review" and just says everything is awesome. We all know that no bike is perfect and I feel like you guys are helping to educate buyers and the bike public at large.
Speaking of reviews, any shot at the KTM 690 Enduro?
giff74 I would love to get my hands on that bike! I used to play around on a KTM 450 EXC and I would like to see what the bigger brother is like!
Thanks for the kind words, Ol' Lem Lem and I are having a blast doing this and are just as glad (if not more so) that they are letting us do this as welll! Cheers!

Seen your review two weeks ago, test rode and ordered one last week decided to go for the 2016 XCA picked it up today it's sooo good.z
What an awesome review!!! This looks a fantastic bike and this review has me very very interested. Keep these coming. Well Done!!
Great informative video. I love my XCA !! First thing I did was upgrade the engine guards and switched out the windscreen for a Madstad. After the tires are worn out, I'm switching to the Heidenau K60.
This video popped up on the Rev main YT page and right away I was hooked, I just had to click and say awesome job, I love the energy of this video mixed with the amazing shots. One production I would be proud to be apart of. Thumbs up!
Logan Drayson Thanks man! I am quite proud to be a part of our ragtag team of video misfits!
Best XCx review I've seen. Honest and informative.
Its as if you guys were born to review motorcycles + gear, brilliant.
Awesome review. Nice detail on naming the gear he's wearing
Bang on review!! I bought this bike in June and agree with both your pros and cons, the tires being the most frusterating. More offroad oreintated tires are just a no brainer for this specific model. Absolutely fantastic and fun ride!!
The best part of the review was the blunt honesty. I've owned a dozens of off road, dual sport and street bikes and anyone who is honest about their reviews of the new found "adventure" bikes knows that a 490 lb bike is not a good choice for adventuring off road and is more suited to fire roads or something similar. Last year, I visited with a Triumph dealer and discussed the overall dishonesty of several bike manufacturers who give the impression their "adventure" bikes are suitable to be ridden in places where either true dual sports or off road bikes can. Perpetuating the dishonesty are several of the bike magazines who publish photos of these "adventure" bikes being modestly jumped off of small hills and slid around dirt tracks. Come on guys...stop sucking misinformed new riders onto these bikes. The Triumph is great for what it's intended for not true off road riding.
The 800 and 1200cc adventure bikes are for long range while not being contained to just sealed roads like a tourer or cruiser. They are adaptable and great for interstate journeys in countries like Africa or Australia where road conditions are not guaranteed for all legs of the journey.
You cannot ride a dedicated dirt/trail bike for hundreds of miles on end.
All the advertisements and promotions I've seen for adventure bikes seem to be fairly on point about the purpose of these machines. If someone thinks they are suited for flogging through mud in a forest, well that's unfortunate. But where exactly would they get that impression? These bikes consistently sell very well, so the intended audience seem to be getting the right message.
@@HandsomeNamed I recently sold my Tiger 800 XCx 2015 model. I did 40,000km on Australian roads ( sealed and dirt roads) until Covid lockdowns stopped me travelling. The Tiger was good at covering the long distances and handled well. Is is a dirt bike? No. As with most of these ADV bikes it weighs too much to throw down a rough single trail, unless you are a muscular MX pro rider riding someone else's bike.
Although I never dropped the bike at speed I did manage to break a few plastic body armour bits ( expensive to replace). The front fender is fragile when using knobby tyres. Rocks get caught in the side knobs and rotate smashing the fender attachment points. Fender riser kits don't address this. The windshield is useless. Gear ratios are a bit weird. First is too high and 6th is a 1:1 ratio, not overdrive. However 6th being 1:1 was great on sandy outback roads where all i had to do was throttle on and off, rather than continually changing up and down as the F800 guys were doing. Suspension and frame worked well and saved my butt a few times.
Unbelievable production quality in this review. I'm not in the market for this bike or any others like it, but enjoyed it thoroughly nonetheless.
Excellent video and very helpful review, Congrats!!
Great quality video! Nice job ZLA!!
AWESOME review. The info you presented on this new bike along with your opinions on what you like and what you don't are top notch!
Excellent review. Nice and clear. Valid points too. Hand guards etc - I agree.
Camera positions and transitions make this video special, bro! 👌
this was an awesome video. Production values high, loaded with facts, and great multi angle rolling shots and images of the squishy bits doing their work.
+at the mil-in Gotta love the squishy bits! -DrewZilla
Great review..you convinced me to finally let go my faithful Cagiva Gran Canyon 900 after 185,000 km or great fun..for a Triumph 800 XCX
Excellent video. Spurgeon made the best bike presentation I've ever seen. Thanks so much.
Test rode the XC yesterday and loved it. Just trying to decide if the extra lowercase x is worth the cost difference.
Best review ever!! Allthough the rear shock doesn't need protection from a guard, it's very rugged. I aggree on the protection being a bit basic. I think the main weight loss you can do is an aftermarket exhuast to loose 3 or maybe 4kg. Bought mine and cannot wait to start riding.
I have watched this review atleast 100 times.... I'm chomping at the bit for my XCA to arrive.... amazing review Revzilla
I ended up buying the press bike after the review.... I have lived the review over and over again at least 100 times! Thanks for watching!
What is the street value of the recommended upgrades you suggested in the video? Trying to get an idea of total price along with upgrades. I'm 6'2'' 230 so I'm not sure 490lbs is a big deal for the kind of fire road riding I'm looking to do here in Oregon. Great vid and review btw!
I ended up buying this bike after the review. I did a one year follow-up article ( www.revzilla.com/common-tread/triumph-tiger-800-xcx-a-year-of-abuse-in-review ) and I am wrapping up a final modifications article as we speak. So far I have invested about $2,500 into modifications to make this bike better off-road. With that being said, modifications depend on how far you want to go off-road.
All things considered, you can get away pretty close to stock depending on how far you want to go off-road. If you're just sticking to fire roads I'd start by upgrading the tires, crash bars, radiator guards, and hand guards ($700-$900). From there you start to learn along the way.
Please feel free to ask any additional questions and I'll happily answer anything that I can.
Thanks so much for the response. Epic review!!
I sure like mine!
This video made me subscribe. Keep up the awesome work!
+Daniel Adam Mereel Thanks! We'll keep them coming. -DrewZilla
I'm actually interested in the 800 XCx after watching this. Every bike is a compromise, so after seeing his point of view (btw, he and I are about the same size... thanks for mentioning that) and matter of fact presentation I can figure out what I can live with, or can't tolerate.
Excellent review!
Great review! I love my 96 Tiger. A bit heavy for serious off rd use tho
The timing of this review couldn't have come at a better time. It's almost like a sign! :) I almost pulled the trigger on the XCx a week or so ago until I seen the teaser clip from RevZilla, so I waited for the full review, and am glad I did. Between this (as stated several times) fantastic review and the user/owner comments, I'm ready to call my salesman and start the negotiations on Monday.
Looks like I'll have a whole new list of items to purchase from RevZilla! :D
New Caspian Blue XCx will be picked up on Friday! Special thanks to Carolyn and the staff at Life Cycle in Kalamazoo, MI.
John Price You're almost there! Tomorrow at this time you'll be on your new bike!
Spurgeon Dunbar Nevermind... Today is Wednesday... Sorry, you have 48 hours to go.
Another Tiger has a new home!
Hot Damn! Congrats! Peter Egan would surely recommend celebrating this with a Guinness!
This is most likely the best motorcycle review I have ever seen.
Awesome review!
I like the basics as well and all of this new tech they are putting into bikes these days should be 100% optional (have a basic bike and let the buyer decide what "tech" they do/don't want).
Great review, you can tell he enjoys the bike.
One of the best reviews
I've got the Mitas tires on my Tiger XC. Been real happy with them.
yep, keep doing bike reviews. Yours are the best
now that was a good review with some good tips on making the bike better
As far as bike reviews go .this is by far the most informitive & professional. A complete unbiased opinion👍 yes .what I want .A real opinion .not just a slide show with robot voice & specs !!!
+Lee Bradley Thanks dude!
Awesome review, i own an 2013 xc (not thinking of buying a new one yet)
but about the tires, i think most of the people who buy the tiger xc models still ride them mostley on the road, though i think triumph must give you a option of which tire you want.. like a more road worthy or a 50/50 tire
Excellent unbiased review as always!
So, what bike is the best comparison or to beat this model in the same class? What would be his preferred choice in a bike?
Please do a review on the new Africa Twin from Honda in this same format. Excellent work to all involved.
David Ryan When it comes out, I'm sure it'll be high on the list! -DrewZilla
+RevZilla maybe a review on the bmw r nine t. Have yet to see a good review on that bike yet
RevZilla tczx
Mine will be here in one week!
I cant fcckin wait!
Soo. Just got the bike yesterday and I love it. I do agree it is very heavy, but I love how simple they made the it to adjust the suspension.
I will be getting better tires and an aftermarket exhaust for this bike as you suggested. Will be almost perfect then.
All in all, I am still breaking it in, but I love this bike.
If there are any adventure riders in the northern Virginia area, please message me!
Thank you for the excellent review Spurgeon! Where can I find more information of all the upgrades you recommend to the 800?
Spurgeon wrote a great follow-up article after putting about 16,000 miles on this bike with information about upgrades and what it is like to live with in general. You can read it at the link below.

Nice work!! Love it, can't wait for more!!
KLR rider
well done. nice review, short & informative.
Awesome bike, and a very comprehensive review good job.
I don't know if you guys are in-house or outsourced, the quality of this review is one hell of a job. It's is even better than the promo contents by Triumph themselves, heck it's even better than ANY triumph related contents out there!
We do it all in-house. All RevZilla, all the time! -DrewZilla
As a member of the video team at RevZilla, thanks for the compliments on our production quality.
Hi my friend!
I've own a Tiger XCX 2015 and put 30000km on it. I''d loved my bike. You could mention to upgrade the front brakes with 4 pistons caliper. Any brand, even nissin (like the Africa twin would work better). The bike is too fast and when you're heavy...don't do the job for my point of view. I had noise in the back suspensions. Not a big issue but, at low speed...was boring to hear at last...
I fall down off road and the protection do the job well. I've put Hepco and Beccker upper crash bar for additionnel protection and that was a good add, but... the lower seems to keep the bike at angle when you fall at low speed so..for the average guy..that's good enough... Thank's for reading
Great review... I really enjoyed watching it and somewhere because of this review I bought tiger 800 xcx. I want to know whether it's worth going for outex kit for the spoke wheels and if you have puncture can it sealed with normal puncture repair kit for tubeless tyres without any problems and will the outex last for the life of the spoke
Thanks in advance and thanks for great review which helped me to decide the my adv...
Outex is definitely an option, but it can be difficult to do correctly. Also, you can only do it on the rear wheel, because the front wheel cannot safely accept a tubeless tire. Therefore, you would still need to use a tube in the front tire and replace the tube if punctured. For the rear tire, you could use a tubeless tire and tubeless puncture repair kit. -DrewZilla
I've been riding & reading (about) motorcycles for over 45 years now. That was a damn good review. I own a Triumph Tiger Explorer XC myself, and you are spot on about the oversensitive throttle. I would have liked a bit more comment about the Tiger compared with the BMW F800GS though. My understanding is that it creams the GS big time? Other than that, an excellent production. VERY impressed.
Graeme Blore I appreciate the kind words! My apologies on the lack of F800 tie in on the video. Like I said below, my producer kept telling me to talk less so the BMW stuff didn't make it in. Check out my response below on Ike6116's comment.
Essentially the F800GS feels more like a big dirt bike while the Tiger feels like a tall street bike. The new XCx pushes the Tiger's dirt capability even further while simultaneously improving street capabilities with the addition of traction control and electronic cruise control. The one big advantage the BMW has is that the gas tank lives underneath the seat. It really lowers the center of gravity and the Beemer just feels lighter. The Triumph on the other hand wears it's fuel up high like a camel's hump.
Like I said, take a look at the comment I made below and check out the Common Tread article (www.revzilla.com/common-tread/triumph-tiger-800-xcx-review). If you have any additional questions I would be happy to try and tackle them for you! Thanks again for watching!
Hey Revzilla...I watched this video a week before buying my very own Triumph Tiger 800 XCX Low (yes Im a short ass haha) and I agree with 95% with what you said after rewatching this video a month later. That 5% goes to the standard Bridgestone Battle Wing tyres...I disagree with you where you say they couldnt handle a light gravel road as I have put mine through Loose gravel roads and Loose rocks along with soft sand and some light mud and yes they did show their 90-10 they defiantly impressed me. I will be upgrading the rubber to the Motoz Tractionator as Im looking to do more serious off roading but if you just bought one of these bikes I would strongly recommend holding off on swapping out because you might be surprised with the stock standard rubber.
+EverythingisFire Same. I think it is the best channel out there for looking at bikes that you might want to get
Let this guy do all the bike reviews!! Best Revzilla bike review yet!! Thanks !!
Only thing is that he said that he was going to see how this bike compares to the 800GS that he rode for 6 month, but than nothing,,,, So, how does it compares???
+moulin6801 Here's what Spurgeon had to say in his written review: www.revzilla.com/common-tread/triumph-tiger-800-xcx-review
"The direct competition for the Triumph XCx is clearly the BMW F 800 GS. When similarly outfitted with accessories, the F 800 GS costs roughly $14,000, in the same range as the Tiger 800 XCx’s $13,499. Traditionally, the F 800 GS has outshined the Tiger in the dirt while the Tiger has excelled on the pavement. I have spent the past six months logging miles on RevZilla’s F 800 GS and it feels like a giant dirt bike, whereas the Tiger feels like a tall street bike. Triumph’s main goal with these updates was to get closer to the off-road performance of the BMW while further improving the Tiger’s street pedigree, and they succeeded."
Eines der besten Bike-Videos, die ich je gesehen habe!!!
Absolut TOP !!!!!!

+T wF Danke, Tom! -DrewZilla
Spurg, fantastic job on this review, as always. Thank you. I know this was done a while back, but in case you're checking...I'm looking to buy a Tiger and very interested in your opinion: Even though I will not be going off road any more than packed fire road occasionally, is the XC model worth buying over the XR for the upgraded suspension? How much better(or not) will the XR perform/handle on road? I've never ridden a 21' front wheel. XC or XR? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Spurgeon does serious off-roading with his Tiger, so the XC makes sense for him. I have an XC as well but don't do any serious off-roading on it. Personally, I really wish I had the XR and its tubeless setup. The XC handles quite well on-road, but I hate having to carry tubes for road trips. I'd much rather just carry my tire plug kit. The 19" XR front with its wider profile does corner a bit better than the narrower XC 21". Personally I don't think the suspension is a huge upgrade. -DrewZilla
Thanks, Drewzilla! Appreciate the info and insight.
I want time see you guys do a review on the honda grom
Fantastic quality this review is!
What rubbers on the bike?
Mitas E-07 Tires. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/mitas-e-07-tires
this is the best review ever
I can see this as the replacement for my VFR800. Had a test ride on one last week and loved it
Al Locky I am thinking about VFR800X CROSSRUNNER
I've never ridden one, but have heard good things
Nice review! I have recently tried one bike from this category and unfortunatly is too high for me which is a no go for using in the middle of trafic and eventually on off road. Now this made me look to other models being the Triumph Tiger the one that showed the seat height that on paper suited me best, namely the XCx Low. Now what you said that I do agree totally that is extremely important are the protections!!! What kind of aftermarket protections can we get to better protect the engine and the rear suspension? Thank you for your feedback
I recommend engine guards, skid plate, radiator guard, and case covers. -DrewZilla

fantastic review! at this moment i'm riding f800gs and is good bike.
but i'm going to book test ride soon on tiger.
What is fuel consumption when you ride normally?
Paweł Piekut Thanks! And I agree with you, the F 800 is a good bike, I have had a blast on the one I have been riding around here at the office.
I talk about fuel consumption in the Common Tread article (www.revzilla.com/common-tread/triumph-tiger-800-xcx-review), but to save you from having to go digging for it, I found that over 2,000 miles I was averaging roughly 49 mpg real-world.
This is by far one of the best bike reviews I've seen. Excellent video. I would like to see a comparison from you guys with this bike against the F800GS and F800GSA.
great review, informative, clear and concise. more please. any chance of a KTM 1190 ADVENTURE review, both R and none R?
+Karl Thursfield If we can get our hands on those bikes, we'd absolutely love to review them! You should give KTM a call and demand they give us a couple to review! -DrewZilla
Well the XCA is four weeks old now and has 3890 kms on the clock still love it new tyres next week really need a 50/50 tyres the stock tyres off road are very bad
Thank you good video, thanks for pointing out the flaws as well. I cant stand channels like Power Drift that never mentions any flaws for fear of upsetting the manufacturers.
Great review, really interested in getting a 800 xcx or a BMW 800gs adventure.
You said you had a lot of time on the BMW. How do they compare?
Have you ridden the latest BMW 800 GSA?
Any comments appreciated.
+chello885 In my opinion the BMW feels more like a large dirtbike where the Triumph feels more like a street bike with off-road prowess. I have not ridden the GSA, just the regular ol' GS. I never desired the GSA because of the added weight. I still was getting over 160 miles per tank on the standard GS even when cranking hard on the throttle. I even came close to 200 MPT once when cruising on the highway.
What impressed me most about the BMW is the weight. While it has almost an identical weight to the Triumph on paper it feels significantly more nimble because it wears its weight underneath the seat lowering the center of gravity. This allows the bike to feel lighter off-road.
From there on out though, the Triumph just impressed me in spades. The throttle response is perfect, the engine winds up like a small sport bike while still giving you grunt down low, I can load it up and tour with it, electronic cruise control is a must have, and I can still have almost as much fun as the BMW off-road. The "off-road" mode for traction control is almost like cheating when you want to go fast on more open dirt stretches.
It bears a mention that I ended up buying the press bike off of Triumph at the end of our review period. In the past 6 months I have logged 12,000 miles on her and just returned from a whirlwind trip tackling over 2,000 miles spread over 4 days. This bike handled long straights, tight twisties, and urban traffic.
There is not a right and a wrong choice between the two. They are both quality machines, it's a matter of which one is right for you. I will say that both Triumph and BMW have excellent test ride policies. Show up at your local dealership, take them both for a spin. See which one moves you. You'll notice the difference in the engines right away, just make sure to keep an eye out for all of the other little nuances. I hope this helps! Cheers!
Great review! Which bike would you purchase, Triumph Tiger 800 XCx or BMW GS800 ??? Any thoughts?
+MartinNY78 Take a look at Spurgeon's most-recent reply to user chello885. It should answer your questions pretty well. Hope this helps! (sort comments by Newest First and it should be right below this comment) -DrewZilla
