Triumph Motorcycles unveiled its latest high-powered Tiger bike for the Indian market on Friday. The Tiger 1200 XcX has been priced at Rs 17 lakh (ex-showroom) and according to the company’s claims, all units have already been pre-booked.

The Tiger 1200 XCx gets LED daytime running lights (DRLs) and semi-active suspension for better ride handling. The latest iteration of Tiger 1200 is 11-kgs lighter than its predecessor, which ensures that the chassis as well the body to weight ratio is more manageable.
Just like the other Triumph bikes that have been launched recently, the Tiger 1200 XCx also gets TFT screen, which looks attractive and modern, compared to the old-style analog speedometer. You can switch riding modes, keep track of the bike’s temperature, and other features from this screen which is adjustable.

The modern-side of affair continues with the addition of two 12v socket and one USB port for charging your mobile phone.
