2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 XCa | Review

- Meet the new Triumph Tiger 1200. Less weight, more responsive engine, more agile and as comfortable as an adventure motorcycle could be. And maybe more. It's not a completely new motorcycle, it's an updated version, but it was worth reviewing it - because the big Triumph Tiger was already a comfy adventure tourer and it just got better.

Great channel and probably best motorbike reviews on youtube. Intelligent review (as always) on what this motorbike is supposed to do : touring and Light off road. Does the 3 cylinders make the difference with his opponents and can it justify to buy it for this engine more than the others? Thanks you, buddies
It's rare to find so beautiful reviews, and than I joined your channel. Thank you!
Fantastic video quality at all levels, the way you bring it, unique.
You definitely looked like you were enjoying the acceleration, early on and I chuckled a bit when you tried out the pillion... Great review, great ride footage - I'll have to wander down to my local Triumph for a test drive now for possible addition to my harem...
First time viewer, I really like your review. I can tell it is very honest and from the heart. So hard to trust reviewers sometimes but I really liked your review of the bike. I am stuck between this one and the BMW version but I heard Triumph was doing better. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work...
Mike I am on the exact boat as you re.... Now if you compare the 3asy ride program at 5.99 APR ATM offered by BMW on a GS and a Tiger at 3.99 for 60 mos the difference is huge money wise. 300-325 for a GS without panniers Navigation and engine guards, whereas Tiger XCA 1200 you get the panniers, navigation for free, spotlights and crash bars. Plus If it's an 2018 you get it out of the door sub 20K. Triumph all the way....hahah
@@SapperMK just waiting my new xrt 1200 next weeks 😀 Triumph all the way 👍
@@GalambaPortugal I did pull the trigger in a 2019 R1250 GS HP at the end really great bike for the money..
Faceti videori frumoase si cu multa utilitate pentru noi cei care va urmarim la ora de cumpara o motocicleta sau sa facem vreo ruta, singurul lucru ce ma deranjeaza ii limba engleza .
Seems like the consensus among all the reviewers is that it's great for road touring which is probably what 95% of buyers will stick to. Maybe the 800xca is a better all arounder?
It's awesome analysis of most attractive bike of planet
Yours and the F9 guy’s reviews are the only ones I trust.
Motorcyclist? 44teeth? TMF?
44Teeth and The Missenden Flyer are also top notch for reviews
Very nice. I'm looking forward the big adventure comparison !
Laurent Aubert thanks. It s already uploaded
Thanx dude ...we will see or i will see tommorow.
Great report on the bike!!... just one thing... I wouldn't say that the bike has a massive fuel tank, it is only 20 lt, just seems to be bulky because of the side protection, which is on favour of the rider!!.
soon leaving my Super Tenere 1200 for this beautiful triumph... I did enjoy my yamaha for years, but unfortunately Yamaha has not cought up the ultimate tech to compite versus BMW, Ducati, Triumph, etc...
keep it up guys, always doing outstanding reports
And I’m glad they didn’t...
Marcos Ruiz , did you buy the Triumph?
@@jblue1299 yesss!!!... just received a week ago!!.. so satisfied with the bike!!... xca 1200. Cheers
Marcos Ruiz , thanks for the response; I have been trying to decide between the Tenere and the Triumph. What made you leave the Tenere and go with Triumph?
@@jblue1299 first thing i have to say is the great deal offered by @triumph_Salta.
They received my yamaha as part of the payment, the rest negotiated. 👍👍
Before the deal, i tried the triumph demos (800 and 1200). I have to tell you that there is a significant difference in all aspects of the bike, in comparison with my former yamaha.
About what i want the bike for? Well, in my case it will be for touring and long rides.
I checked several reviews and most of them point at triumph 1200 as best bike for this purpose.
Perfect vídeo and perfect test. Thank you!!!
Gracias por las imágenes y los comentarios...!!
A very good and very helpful review. Thank you :)
RIP my idol
this bike is 100 times better than gs 1250
Another great review!
Excellent review thanks
RIP man.
Excellent review 👍👍
What is your height?? .
And what is the Seat height??
Good review Borat...
another good vid
Are you getting a lot of engine heat onto the legs ?
JEB yes
DriveMag Riders , that is a deal breaker for me; I so wanted to buy a Triumph, but are some serious issues they must address in order to compete with BMW !
If you drive in short pants you feel the heat!
@@adrianbantinesti9219 If you are riding in short pants you are going to have much, much bigger issues than some heat from the engine.
What do you mean highway consumption, what kind of speed you were thinking? If this is adventure bike, how does it look with luggage apply? by the way nice channel fine tests.
I am riding my 2021 Triumph tiger 1200 Alpine edition and the fuel consumptie is 1:20 average, so 5 litres on 100 km. And I like to acceleratie!
У мужика акцент подмосковный)). Рожденный в СССР))
He is romanian as I know!!!
Can’t imagine why the 1200 would be a better choice over the 800 . . . motorcycle as fashion accessory?
This bike is too heavy for me. Hope you do the Honda cb500x soon.
I was reminded of FPS RUSSIA 🇷🇺 from this video
Are you related to The Meercats by any chance?
How much?
Hasn' t this chap had an accident with a BMW 1250 GS last year ? Or in 2020 ? 🤔
Is the heat as bad as a KTM 1190?
@jai yen yen i rather have my nuts warm 😂😂🤣🤣
What’s that accent? What part of England is he from?
Phil Hart he’s not from England, it’s an Eastern European accent
I have to say, I was leaning towards getting this bike until this review. Great job with the review but it certainly wasn't a positive one. He was about as nice as possible to this bike without just plain old calling it not a great motorcycle. In my opinion this is exactly how you respectfully give a bad review because it leaves the fanboys thinking he gave it a good review but anyone who is really listening can see this dude does NOT like this bike. 1) Engine is "better than before but won't ....blow your mind" 2) They did a good job reducing the weight but "It's still too heavy and too top heavy" 3) The previous version was not known as a good off road bike and as long as you stay on the roads 90% of the time and only do "soft off road" then "this one is better but it wasn't built for off road" Ouch. Could it be any worse than that for a so called adventure bike? 4) he goes on and on about how many miles you get on a liter of fuel and clearly is not impressed and says "the engine is a thirsty one" and then goes on to say that the tank is too small (after calling it huge looking and feeling before) and says "if you are into highway riding you will find this annoying". 5) About those cornering lights that Triumph talks about non stop..."I didn't find them very useful, I didn't notice them in action...but...that (feature)...sounds cool" lol. 6) and finally "There is something I just don't like and that is the heat from the engine when sitting in traffic or city driving". He basically tore this Triumph a new one and did it with a smile lol. I'm most likely going with the BMW R1250GS which is too bad because this Triumph is cheaper, I have a local dealer (don't have a BMW dealer near me) and I like the looks of the Triumph more.
Don't pull the trigger untill you have tested one (TT 1200 ) for yourself!! I watched the comparison review between the KTM, the Triumph and the BMW, where two of them berate the Triumph. His colleague because it wasn't easy to WHEELIE and he preferred the BMW for it's refinement?! Neither of them tested the true Adventure/ touring capabilities of the Triumph, what was it like carrying a pillion or loaded with luggage?!! Many comments from previous BMW owners who had jumped ship, stated that the Triumph had more character, gave more of a Connection between bike/ rider and road!! For a heartfelt review on the Triumph look up MotorBike TV Triumph TIGER 1200 XRT REVIEW, he might just make you realise, that a good review is only given, by someone who genuinely has an interest in how a bike performs the task it was designed for, and the connection/ feedback felt whilst reviewing it?!! You yourself have given an excellent review of the underlying negativity of this review, why then ignore that intuition and follow the "fanboy mentality" ? I believe there are recalls on the BMW 1250 GS, might be worth investigation and a Rethink?!!
You heard what you wanted to hear. These bikes are the two wheeled versions of Range Rovers. Most riders will never explore more than a fire road with them. This man is a world traveler. His opinion should be respected; but taken with a grain of salt. If he "tore this Triumph a new one", he do so from the perspective of a man that pushes his adventure bikes harder than 99% of the riders on Earth.
@@traeucity6087 I see your point. And, that is that most of us will never use these bikes for true adventure riding so why would we care how capable they truly are in that regard. This guy does use these bikes in that way so he is going to point out their shortcomings as they relate to actually using them in true off road environments.
I would say that he definitely tore Triumph a new one in this review. I pointed out all the various digs/dislikes he made so I don't see how anyone could question that he did otherwise.
I would also say that most people, even though they will not be using these bikes at anywhere near their intended capacities (as you pointed out) and, therefore, do not need anywhere near those levels of capabilities, we still WANT them to have and be able to actually do it all and do it well.
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 , That is a valid point; and I agree. While I would never take my Toyota Land Cruiser off-road; I'm aware that it's cost and reputation are based on it's off road capabilities.
Why the hell Freddy Mercury is reviewing Triumph motorcycles?
BMW employees...
Argl !
7L+/100km? come on, big car uses less...nonsense.
I get around 400 km per tank on my 2012 Explorer,I would think the 2018 is a little more economical
I regularly get 4-5L/100km with my 2013. Gotta remember, this bike is quicker than almost any car in your city..
Exactly, my 2021 Triumph tiger 1200 Alpine does 20 km on 1 litre, so 5 litres on 100 km and that includes regularly accelerating. This guy is a BMW fan. I think his review is not honest
This guy speaks like Borat.
British English? 😁😁
Rain Raider romanian english :))
Don't tell us that it's not as great off-road as the big KTM's or the GS, when you are on dirt with road tires. Amateur mistake, and misleading for the viewers.
Yes I know you said it's missing the knobby tires and said "but that's not the problem". It is, how could a 250 kg bike feel great on dirt when you barely have any grip whatever movement you do? Of course, it will feel heavier and not that agile.
Fa și tu în Română sa înțeleagă toți (🤜🤛)
You are right. My GS A 2018 is the best 😄😄😄😄
In English please 😂
