Positioned in Triumph's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Triumph Tiger 800XC relies on a 799 cc (48.8 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 94 HP (68.6 kW) at 9,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 78.7 Nm (58 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 117.6 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 800XC measures 215 kg (474 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.29 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 843 mm (33.2 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,567 mm (61.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.93-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.74 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 330 km (205 miles) between fill-ups.
