Triumph Tiger 800 more spy shots

While Triumph has been running a teaser campaign to introduce its new adventure models, the Tiger 800 and the Tiger 800 XC, the message was clear – no photos.
But as the bike is ‘unpacked’ we get a couple of spy shots of it, showing just the front and the classic Triumph headlights.

The pics come from the Triumph Live event at Mallory Park in the UK where fans could view the new bike via holes drilled through the packing crates.
As Hell for Leather points out, this may not be the best marketing strategy to be pursuing, but so far interest still abounds in this new model meaning so far the market has tired of the teaser campaign.

We see a double headlamp set-up, a slender-looking front and new instrument panel.
The high mudguard and 21-inch wheels in these photos indicate that this is most likely the Triumph Tiger 800 XC model – the more off-road version of what is otherwise a kind of road-going enduro.
Despite this detail, the tyres look like they’re more for road use but these are still test models so it’s unlikely that the Tiger will eventually appear exactly like this.

With more ’spy shots’ likely to turn up over the next couple of months, we’re keen to see this at the 2010 EICMA show, in which case we’ll be bringing you live pics of the new Triumph Tiger 800 adventure model – we assume that when it gets officially launched, we’ll all actually be able to enjoy the photos of the new model.
