2020 Triumph Tiger 1200 XC Range & Desert Edition
Contents
For 2020, Triumph has released two types of adventure bikes, the 1200 XR range and the 1200 XC range. The XC models are more dedicated off-road adventure bikes, true to the spirit of multiple days on the go across a desert.
All of the XC’s are powered by a 1,215cc DOHC liquid cooled inline triple that produces 141 HP and 90 lbs-ft of torque.
The base model is the Tiger 1200 XCx, which comes with a new driver selectable mode in addition to the expected rain, dry, off-road, dirt/track, and that is off road pro. What this mode does is disengage the ABS and traction control entirely, allowing you to have the maximum amount of control and fun while nowhere near tarmac. Standard features are electronically adjustable WP shocks front and back, cornering ABS, and more off road oriented guards and a bash plate under the engine.
The top spec Tiger 1200 XCa adds adaptive cornering lighting, clutchless shifting up and down, a titanium lightweight Arrow exhaust, and LED lights all around.
The Tiger 1200 Desert Edition shares the features of the XCa, but adds a special paint scheme, graphics, and badging across the bike to make note that it is a special edition.
