2019 Triumph Tiger 800 XCA launched

The Tiger 800 XCA will be the top-spec variant and will come with LED headlights, six riding modes and more

In March 2018, Triumph brought in the new Tiger 800 to India. During the time, the British bike maker only brought in the XR, XRX and the XCX variants of the adventure tourer. Now, the company has added another variant to the model line-up – the XCA. Priced at Rs 15.17 lakh, this new trim will sit above the other three variants previously introduced. As on date, the XR demands Rs 11.99 lakh, while the XRX and XCX carry a sticker price of Rs 13.39 lakh and 14.03 lakh respectively. All prices ex-showroom.

Speaking about the launch, Shoeb Farooq, General Manager, Triumph Motorcycles India commented, “We are proud to launch the Tiger 800 XCA today which adds to our already strong adventure offering to Indian audiences. The new Tiger 800 has undergone years of research and development and is the best adventure-ready Tiger ever built. Triumph has developed a host of major new technology and performance updates designed to enhance the new Tiger 800 XCA’s capability both on and off-road. With developments that complement the Tiger's accessible and agile easy riding style, as well as its existing distinctive Tiger poise and presence, the new Tiger 800 XCA is built for maximum adventure – every single day. We’re sure that its technological innovations and premium styling will appeal to premium adventure enthusiasts in the country.”

Being the top-of-the-line variant, the XCA gets better equipment than the other trims. While the XCX gets five riding modes – Rain, Road, Off-Road, Spot and Off-road Pro, the XCA adds a programmable rider mode too. Additionally, the XCA also comes with WP suspension at the front and rear, cruise control, Aluminium sump guard, radiator guard, centre stand and heated seats.

At the heart, the 2019 Tiger 800 XCA remains the same as the rest of the variants. It develops 94bhp and 79Nm from an 800cc three-cylinder motor. This engine comes paired with a six-speed transmission. Just like the XCX, the XCA too comes with 21-inch spoke wheels up front and a 17-inch one at the back.

Triumph has already commenced bookings of the XCA for a minimum amount of Rs 1 lakh. Deliveries are expected to commence in a few weeks’ time.
