Unlimited Adventure: The 2021 Triumph Tiger 1200XC Range
Contents
The Triumph Tiger 1200 XC remains a crucial part of the 2021 Triumph line-up. While it hasn’t experienced any upgrades from previous years, this classic British-made adventure motorcycle continues to impress in whatever form it takes. Within the Tiger 1200 XC sub-range, there are two models for riders to choose from: the Tiger 1200 XCx and Tiger 1200 XCa.
Both of these Triumph Motorcycles draw power from a 1,215 cc liquid-cooled, 12 valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder that produces 141 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of peak torque. The engine is powerful and responsive, delivering a confidence-inspiring ride experience, no matter what terrain you’re tackling.
In XCx form, the Tiger 1200 comes equipped with five riding modes (Road, Rain, Sport, Off-road, and Off-Road Pro), updated cruise control, Triumph semi-active suspension, adjustable front and rear suspension, optimized cornering ABS and traction control, a torque-assist hydraulic clutch, Brembo brakes, and so much more.
The premium XCa model features all of the same specs as the XCx but with a number of exciting extras. Chief among these include an additional “rider programmable” riding mode, Triumph Shift Assist, hill hold control, billet machined parts, a titanium and carbon fiber Arrow silencer, and adaptive cornering lights.
For 2021, the Tiger 1200 XC models are available in three color options: Crystal White, Jet Black, or Matte Khaki Green.
The 2021 Triumph Tiger 1200 XC starts from $19,700 USD / $22,000 CAD.

Have had BMW GS of various types, oil cooled, liquid cooled, etc. Newer BMWs less impressive than earlier versions…better machine, had two Yamaya Super Teneres, and very good motorcycle for long trips. More relaxing for 500 mil days, less buzz, less quick wiggle than BMW, steady and solid.
Now, the Triumph. the second I have owned, the first another era, a 200cc Tiger cub…1960 or so. The Triumph is an exceptionally well made machine, nice fitments and accessories, and is very stable on road. If I had any complaint at all, would like the seat to be more firm…That is it. for the money, I see it as a bargain, and reliable long haul adventure machine.
