Engineered by Triumph for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2016 Triumph Tiger 800 XCX Low utilizes a 799 cc (48.8 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 9,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 79 Nm (58.3 lb-ft) at 7,850 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.9 HP per liter and a 1,450 rpm working window between peak torque (7,850 rpm) and peak power (9,300 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 800 XCX Low measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.32 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,545 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
