The 2017 version of the Triumph Tiger Explorer XCx has been launched at Rs 18.75 lakh (ex-showroom, India). While the 2017 model comes in 8 variants in the international market which includes both the XC and XR variants, we get just one variant for now. The Tiger Explorer XC is powered by a 1215cc, in-line three cylinder, liquid cooled engine mated to a six-speed transmission system. The motor churns out a maximum power of 139hp at 9300rpm with a peak torque of 123Nm at 6200rpm.

The suspension system includes White Power 46mm upside down forks at the front and WP monoshock at the rear. Triumph Tiger Explorer XCx is equipped with 305mm dual disc brakes with four-piston Brembo calliper at the front and 282mm, twin-calliper single disc at the rear. The braking system is paired with switchable ABS.
The instrument cluster of the bike is new and includes a Digital speedometer, analogue tachometer, gear position indicator, fuel gauge, range to empty indicator, service indicator, clock, ambient air temperature indication, frost warning, hazard warning lights, trip computer, scroll button on handlebars and tyre pressure monitoring system indication. The exhaust system consists of three into one, side mounted steel silencer, that gives a robust feel.
