TRIUMPH TIGER EXPLORER 2013 BRAND NEW ADVENTURE

2013 Triumph Tiger Explorer ABS

Being a Tiger. this is a bike built for adventure. Exploring new roads. even new countries and not stopping just because the road does.

But we made the Tiger Explorer for every rider that wants rugged dependability. long distance comfort. a powerful and torquey engine with an extended fuel range. fine handling and the ability to cope with unmade roads.

And we didn?ˆ™t stop there. We added high levels of sophisticated equipment. including ABS. traction control and cruise control along with the special character that comes with a Triumph three cylinder engine. and handling so natural and easy the bike is just as much at home in town as on the tundra.

We gave the Explorer a 1215cc three-cylinder engine. Built with the latest technology to be strong. dependable and have the low maintenance levels you need on long adventures. It has plenty of power and torque with a hefty 137PS at 9300rpm. and 121Nm at just 6400rpm. Useable torque low down in the rev range where you need it most.

The fuel injection is controlled by a ride-by-wire throttle system using computer control to give you the torque you need in the most efficient. predictable way.

Double overhead camshafts operate the four valves per cylinder for an engine that does what it was made to do even when the bike is fully loaded with rider. passenger. a full complement of luggage and facing a steep mountain climb.

We built the tubular steel frame of the Tiger Explorer in the same style as other Triumphs. But it's made extra tough to deal with the stresses of off-road riding and on the road too. where you can load the Tiger Explorer heavily and still ride at high speeds or on badly maintained back roads in full control and comfort.

The suspension on the Tiger Explorer is built to cope with any kind of riding condition. We used tough 46mm forks at the front with an extended 190mm of travel. ideal for rough roads and long distance comfort. And at the rear. the single shock provides 194mm of travel and features a hydraulic remote preload adjuster and adjustable rebound damping.

The Tiger Explorer also comes with traction control as standard to give you added safety and confidence in slippery conditions. The system reassuringly keeps wheel slip to a manageable level by reading the speeds of both wheels. along with numerous engine parameters. and adjusts performance to assist the rider in maintaining a safe course.

Cruise control is fitted to all Tiger Explorers. easing fatigue over long distances and optimising fuel efficiency.

The standard ABS system uses the latest technology to prevent wheel lock-up in any condition you find yourself in. And it can be switched off for off-road use to match your riding style.
