The Triumph Tiger name and details have been revealed in a patent filing which gives us the juicy low-down on the new adventure bike to debut officially at the 2010 EICMA show in Milan in November.
We will be getting two Tiger models: the Tiger 800 and the Tiger 800 XC which focuses even more on offroad capabilities.
As suggested by the name, the Tiger will get a three-cylinder, 800cc engine which, while based on the Daytona 675, has 125cc more due to a longer stroke.
We could be seeing slightly lower overall power (about 100 hp), but more torque and a weight of about 200 kg (wet).
That puts the new Triumph adventurer in direct competition with the tough-to-beat BMW F800GS.
The Tiger will likely have more power compared to the F800GS’ 85 hp and may weigh even slightly less.
The torque measurements could come out at 85 Nm on the Tiger to the BMW’s 84 Nm.
More speculation includes that the Tiger will have a tubular aluminium frame and that the XC will offer more than just bigger wheels for its offroad capabilities.
Videos show it doing some serious off-road riding, while the standard Tiger 800 should be set for more road and track use.
We’ll have all the details from the EICMA show where we can’t wait to check this one out.
