Triumph has with the
three-cylinder mid Enduro Tiger 800 XC an all-rounder in the program, which
focuses on asphalt as loose turf is suitable for long and short trips as well
as for the everyday way through the urban jungle. Their qualities, but also
their reliability and durability, the Tiger 800 XC had to ask for a duration
test of the magazine MOTORCYCLE proof. The stress of 50,000 hard test miles
mastered the 800 with flying colors.
The endurance test (published in
MOTORCYCLE 5/2013), the 800 XC finished with an excellent rating. During the
test period, the characteristics of the motorcycles of various editors were
evaluated at various inserts. How well does the proposed triumph here, the
statements of "MOTORCYCLE" editor Peter Mayer show:
"Whether niedertourig
purring in enjoyment mode or aggressive hisses to attack, the 94-hp
three-cylinder turned out to be almost as a universal genius."
That the Triumph Tiger Mäkinen
the endurance test distance in just 15 months, is for Mayer "a value that
says a lot about the popularity and frequency of claims and the little cat so
that heaves to the level of the mile-eating touring and high-capacity enduros
in the long-term test fleet."
At the end of the term, the
journalists took before not only a comparison measurement of engine power and
compression, rather they disassembled the bike into its component parts in
order to search for possible signs of wear at all offal. To make it short:
Here, too, the triumph hit with flying colors.
MOTORCYCLE editor Peter Mayer:
"So the little tiger has
brilliantly pulled the bottom line of the affair."
As well the tiger has really
beaten, shows the comparison of the editorial house fatigue test rankings of
the magazine MOTORCYCLE: In the ranking table of the duration test machines in
recent years, the operating costs, fuel consumption, depreciation, workshop
visits / breakdown and wear underlie occupied the criteria the Tiger 800 XC
overall third place with only two points behind the first place.
