The XR model is fitted with
Showa suspension, calibrated to ensure excellent handling on any surface. The
front suspension is a 43 mm Showa USD fork, now anodised black. The rear
suspension includes a Showa mono-shock which is preload adjustable, allowing
easy adjustment and flexibility to tailor the suspension setting to meet the
requirements of every journey, be it a
spirited solo ride or a comfortable two-up with panniers adventure.
The new Tiger XR is fitted
with light-weight cast aluminium wheels, 17-inch diameter at the rear and
19-inch at the front, measuring 4.25 and 2.5 inches in width respectively, they
ensure superb handling and stability.
The new Tiger 800 has been
given a new look with a new radiator shroud and tank side panels that have
sharp lines and taut surfaces. The new bodywork gives the bike a more prone,
dynamic stance but the styling isn’t all just about cosmetic gain, the Tiger’s
fuel tank styling also ducts hot air from the engine away from the rider’s
legs. The new “Titanium” powder coat finish on the double-tube frame highlights
the rugged looks of the frame whilst the semi-matt finish on the engine
combined with the bike’s black wheels and handlebars gives the new Tiger a
sophisticated, premium look.
Alongside the adjustable rider
seat height and handlebar position the bike gets a large-for-the-class 19 litre
fuel tank, a quick-adjust headlight angle lever for 2-up riding, an Auxiliary
power socket near the ignition switch and an aluminium sump guard as standard
on all models.
Vimal Sumbly, Managing

the Tiger XRx and XCx, which have received tremendous positive response from
our esteemed customers in the country. To give an excellent value proposition,
the new Tiger XR will be assembled locally through the CKD route in India.
Whatever be the road, whatever be the distance and whatever be the challenge,
the new Tiger XR has been built to excel!”
