Built around Triumph's allround motorcycle platform, the 2015 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC ABS 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 137 HP (100 kW) at 9,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 121 Nm (89.2 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 112.8 HP per liter and a 2,900 rpm working window between peak torque (6,400 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 Explorer XC ABS measures 265.5 kg (585 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 837 mm (33 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 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.

Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
