The Explorer XCA packs immense power and linear torque from its signature 1215cc triple engine and is optimised for all terrain with spoked wheels for tubeless tyres, ABS, Traction control and, Brembo monobloc 4-piston radial callipers at the front, and a single 282mm disc, 2-piston sliding brake at the rear. Triumph's electronically controlled semi-active suspension system (TSAS) continuously adjusts the suspension settings as you ride, delivering the best control, comfort and riding experience on any surface.

    I have ridden a mates tuned Tiger, and it is a weapon.

    Heated seats are a bit gay, but no use taking them off lol.

    Looks great LB. Did it replace the Tenere or has that been gone for a while? Love to have one myself. Cheers

    Nice bike

    I'm guessing she doesn't need a new set of front disks with every set of pads (like my Beemer does)...
