This week’s MCN (out now) exclusively reveals more details of Triumph’s new adventure bike, the Tiger 800.
But how does it match up to its obvious rival, BMW’s F800GS?
Armed with a brawnier version of the already muscular 675 motor means the new Tiger is off to a headstart, with Triumph testers remarking on ‘startling’ torque from the longer-stroke 800 motor.
We also expect Triumph to tackle one of the F800’s weaknesses head-on: the Tiger 800 will have a tank at least two litres bigger (18l+).
Here are the specifications:
BMW F800GS Triumph Tiger 800
Power 85bhp 100bhp
Torque 60ftlb 65ftlb
Weight 185kg 185kg
Tank 16 litres 18+ litres
