Triumph Tiger 800 XRx

BUKIT TINGGI: Triumph Motorcycles, which is officially imported by Motoradic and distributed by Fast Bikes in Malaysia, has updated its Bonneville lineup with the Bobber Black and Speedmaster while expanding its Tiger 800 range to include six new model variants.

In terms of pricing (inclusive of GST), both Bonneville Bobber Black and Speedmaster have been priced at RM79,900. Similarly priced, the new Tiger 800 range starts with the road-focused XR which arrives with an introductory price of RM56,900 for the next six months before getting upped to RM59,900 in September.

Next on the Tiger 800's price list is the mid-range XRx and XRx Low (low-riding version) which gets priced at RM69,900, XCx off-road variant at RM74,900, range-topping XRT at RM77,900 and the fully-loaded XCa at RM81,900. All Triumph bikes in Malaysia come with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty.



The single-seater Bobber Black's standard features include a 16-inch front wheel (-3.0-inch reduction from the outgoing Bobber's 19 inch wheel) as well as larger 47mm (+6mm) Showa front forks, full LED headlights with daytime running lights and a single-button cruise control.

“The Bonneville Bobber is a bike that appeals to just about anyone, and is perfectly suited for those who prefer a touch of classic bobber styling. And now the Bobber Black is set to complement the Bonneville Bobber package with its bold custom style, elegant engineering and more importantly, a thrilling hot rod ride and sound,” said Fast Bikes CEO Datuk Razak al-Malique.

The Bonneville Speedmaster - known for its laid-back riding position, comes with swept back beach bars, twin and single seat, set forward foot pegs, 16-inch wire-spoked wheels and a larger 12-litre fuel tank for increased range to make it the ideal long distance cruiser.



Powering the Speedmaster is a 1,200cc parallel-twin engine with 77PS at 6,100rpm and 106Nm at 4,000rpm, and is managed by a six-speed manual gearbox.

“The Bonneville Speedmaster provides a level of comfort, practicality and versatility to the otherwise very capable Bonneville family. It is perfectly suited to those who want a dash of classic styling to their touring machine, or for those who wish to add pillion versatility to their ride. The Speedmaster brings a new dimension to the Bonneville family with a more classic British custom cruiser laid back style,” said Datuk Razak.

Moving on to the Tiger 800 range, the off-roader XCx and road-going XRx have both experienced up to 200 upgrades which includes its chassis and 800cc three-cylinder engine for a more responsive ride, while providing 95PS at 9,500rpm and 79Nm at 8,050rpm.



The manual gearbox has also been reworked and features a shorter first gear ratio to enhance off-road traction, low-speed manoeuvrability and improved acceleration.

Both the XCx and the XRx offer six riding modes of Road, Rain, Off-Road, Sport, Rider (custom) and now includes Off Road Pro and have been fitted with a new adjustable full-colour TFT instrument cluster, LED lighting, updated cruise control, five-position adjustable screen, high-end Brembo front brakes, suspension configurations, handlebar-mounted switch cubes with backlit buttons and new premium bodywork.

Also included is ABS, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, heated seats and grips on some models, power sockets and a two-position adjustable saddle - 840 to 860mm for the XCx and 810 to 830mm for the XRx.



“The Triumph Tiger 800 XCx and XRx have come to be some of the most successful adventure bikes in their respective segments and now have been updated to offer even more technology - improving on the now infamous Tiger triple engine spirit,” he added.

The new models were introduced in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang and was attended by some 350 guests from the Triumph motorcycle club that's officially known as the RatPack.
