At the heart of the 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XCA allround motorcycle, Triumph pairs a 1215 cc (74.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 139 HP (101.5 kW) at 9,350 rpm while maximum torque reaches 122 Nm (90 lb-ft) at 7,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 114.4 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,600 rpm) and peak power (9,350 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tiger 1200 XCA measures 248 kg (547 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.56 HP/kg (1.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 408 km (254 miles) between fill-ups.
