- WhichBike.com team member, Ade, takes out the eagerly anticipated Super Sports Tourer from Triumph, the new 2016 Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT. Is is the world's best all rounder? Is it more tourer than sports? More importantly, can Ade's feet touch the ground!

OAP biker, am with you! Within minutes of starting, this guy is bursting urban speed limits and red lights, and later, undertaking. Tool! Throttle, brake. Throttle, brake. No real control or planning. He says that it's a "grown up bike", pity he's not the same......
Thanks for the review. Yes, the commentary was a bit unclear due to the audio setup, but I think you did a great job conveying the riding experience the new Explorer offers up.
Cheers, it's a very good bike indeed.
Mixed bag of comments 😉.... has to be said the riding was that of a 18yr old that has just passed his test and has no fear of the grim reaper 🤣. That said....
I picking up my "new to me" explorer up on saturday...... the sheer excitement i could hear in ur voice while riding has convinced me i will love the bike - we all have a mad moment wen we ride 🤟
Ride safe dude, cheers for the review 👍
Ha yeah, that is me... far too much joy and not enough skill for sure.
New 2016 Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT - wow.
Brilliant review I bought the 800 XRX but I think I need to try the Explorer now the new one has been Face Lifted seems I have to do a little research this summer to find the one Bike that does it all ,Keep up the Reviews Awesome lol
+Eric Wheatcroft
Cheers, eric. It is a supreme all rounder. It is not cheap but you do get what you pay for in this instance. It#s not bad looking - perhaps the best looking of the compettitors but everybody is different of course.
I test rode that exact bike on Saturday!! Absolutely fanastic machine, you couldn't ask for more out of a bike. Shame about the price, but I suppose you get what you pay for.
+00L1nk00
ha, spooky.
Yeah, a load of money.. Multistrada money. Still, if you are brand-loyal to Triumph then one would be very very happy.
Really enjoyed that Ade, bit of a clunky gear change between 1st and 2nd. Sat on my mates at weekend shes a big ole girl.
I am the current owner of 2014 Tiger 800 roadie, and looking to change her for something new next year.😃
+dadwold
It is a BIG bike. The styling is very good but once you sit on it you realise that it is proper mahoosive and a bit wieldy. However, the bke set up is awesome and it comes alive. On sport, it was very impressive and managed to achieve a real spoty feel to it totally in opposite to how the bike is at low speeds.
I kinda prefer all the 800s as the lightness generally equals more fun. I am quite interested in the Tiger Sport 800 but will also get out on the upcoming Tiger Sport 1050 which could be epic.
Nice, love the way you spent the whole video chuckling. 😂👍🏻
+DervMan
Yeah, ha, it was just funny how something so heavy is so dynamic.
Great bike - not for me right now though. I would actually rather have two bikes but I can see this being a potential bike once I 'settle down'.
+DervMan
ha indeed
I thought I was the only one that made "vroom vroom" noises while riding. I'm looking at getting one of these beasts later in the year, and I think I'm convinved. However, I'm a short-arsed 5 10, so I'll need the low seat thingy. Does that still have the heated option?
Loved the review.
scary riding.
Yeah, it is watching it back. In my defence I felt comfortable on it and have known these roads for 20 years. I was keen to see the performance but definitely pushed it too much and should have taken it far easier. :(
Sweet review!
Apologies for the delay.
Ha, most people just slated me for crap riding.. and they had a valid point!
they are a fantastic bike, I own a 2013 one, can't fault it , love to try the new one, you just need to get the chicken strip off the back tyre on yours.
+Peter Gunton
Ha, well, it was a demo bike :)
It does turn really really well. It has super clever suspension and I have no doubt a bike racer could really shift this around a track in a surprisingly good time.
I test rode this bike this past weekend but it didn't have all the features yours had. I loved the bike, only negative for me was felt the cockpit to be cramped, like the footpegs were too high and the seat was uncomfortable. BTW. this isn't a sport tourer, it's an adventure bike. ;)
+fleuger99
Ah right, I didnt feel the crampness myself being a cyclist.
yep, it is an Adventure Tourer BUT this XRT model in the Sports Mode is a Sports Tourer so i will stand by that! :)
sound like mad max movie :) but i enjoy it is the bike i am looking to buy now. I was concern little about the wight but the way you flick it looks easy :) . Great review
Fair enough!
Shopping around. I have some telling me to buy the 1200 explorer but I think it may be too much for my intention of work commuting and short to midrange getaways. 95% probability of staying on roads.
+Gregory Jeung
It would do the job for sure.
Yiou might get away with a smaller bike.
It might be worth looking at the Tiger 800s, the new Tiger Sport 1050, the new Yamaha M-10.
I would definitely recommend having a test ride on the Kawasaki Versys 1000 and the Z1000SX.
You ride inappropriately for the surroundings... maybe it's the camera... It's not you its the cars that don't expect you to ride so fast and they pull out on you... You are a tragic accident waiting to happen... nice bike tho.
I agree...
great bike. super colour. Cool review Ade
+hudsonrilke
Cheers!
Old camera so the quaity a crap. My new Hero4 was out of juice after using it on the street triple and my scooter beforehand. I need a spare battery.
Great bike, ruined by the sort of idiots that make insurance so expensive and ruin the name of responsible bikers. I'd love to meet you while I'm On post, sorry cannot talk..text me if possible and I will respond when free to do so", you're biking days would be over faster than you can ride.
+Tris Huckle
I absolutely get what you are saying and I am indeed a new rider. which is the point really. I am absolutely, in no way at all, a rider of any skill. I do know this. In my defence, I do NOT EVER normally ride like this (just in these sequence of videos). This is just for effect and my mindset is completely different. For example, I don't blast away, I don't make noises round corners and although I joke about getting a knee down, I am actually driving pretty slowly - I just make it look and sound worse for effect, as that is the style of my channel.
All I really try and do is get across how the bikes 'feels' to me. I appreciate that this is not 'entertainment' for many people, only for those that understand that I am joking around in my manner but take it absolutely seriously.
As I have often mentioned, I do believe that I am overall the wrong personailty for biking hence I mostly ride a scooter and sometimes a naked and never went back on a sports bike.
I really do appreciate your comments as it should really be made clearer that this is stretching a bike through a road test which is not really suitable or advisable for a road. I really do mean to wish others to be safe on the road. This is NOT a ride tutorial video :)
I will do one though so others can see how a person would normally ride and am always happy to earn more.
Do you now what is it smooth drive?!
+Artur “Rocky” Rotner I just know that is smooth but there are smoother bikes out there.
Great review, made me laugh at times as you sounded like parker off thunderbirds lol
Ha. I will take that :)
maybe Joe Pasquale?
Stopped watching when you went in about height problems for less than 5"8
If your doing reviews then you should research the whole range every one who's into triumphs now knows there's shorter versions of the adventure bike that is factory lowered machines and set up not just lowered seats
They were on the triumph stand at NEC show and got loads of attention
+collcolin
Well, they do a special low seat for the next version down but not on the XRT - apparently, which makes no sense to me.
even 20 cm off will still make this bike tall though. There is no getting round the combination of the height and seat width.
Setting the suspension on comfort helps a bit.
What an abysmal load of crap. Remind me to avoid all your future road tests. Bike ridden like a knob by a knob. Very unsafe. I like the way the video ends with, Ride Safe Out There. Ps the Explorer isn't a sports toured either.
+KirkyandKa Sunways
hi.. read th-cam.com/video/Rw4Bz-6VtEc/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13dvx45szfks5qm223bzxyorzyuul10w.1462377522771202 for an explanation. In short, this is not a riding tutorial, moreover a tongue in cheek full test admittedly not really appropriate for a road. Alas, that is where the bike would be ridden.
The bike is technically an Adventure Tourer. However, I still maintain that this particular model variant is a Sports Tourer due to two things; the suspension and the way it says 'Sport' on the top mode which changes the TC, Sussie and delivery to make it sporty.
If you get a chance to ride this XRT in an 'inappropriate road' style on Sport mode, you will know what I mean. It was like a faster version of a VFR800!
Cheers, I do appreciate the comment. I doubt my explanation of the other post will change your mind about me but, believe me, ordinarily there is nothing more important than me being around to see my three boys grow up.
they tried to make it look like a super tenere because super tenere is the best bike out there
+rugby
I have not been on a Tenere yet. I will try and get one now I have ridden this for a comparison. Which Tenere is the best one, or the best one to test anyway?
thanks
+Which Bike I love my super tenere they are built very tough
+Which Bike in America there are not very many Triumph dealers so if you own a triumph you have to drive a long ways to get it serviced or worked on and with the tenere you don't ever have to work on them because they don't break down
I imagine all of these bigger bikes are pretty robust but you are right, the proximity of a dealer can be the most important thing. The UK is half the size of Texas so we seem to have dealers close to hand at all times really.
Shame you were at a Desperation Triumph any other dealer of Triumph are great but Desperation are terrible... great review though :D
haha.. love that. Never heard that before. :)
To be fair, I have had a GREAT experience with Bramley - just falling short of buying a bike with them.
I checked out your channel - looking good. Noticed you have a Tiger Ex. What is your experience of Desperation triumph ?
Which Bike I have used my 2 local branches on a number of different occasions and they have been sharks a few times...
I bought a tiger from them but it came to me with way more miles than I was told... it also has never had anti freeze in it and then there was a lot of arguing about the spec and the deal and there are a numerous other issues.
I have just bought a new Tiger Explorer 2016 spec from a triumph dealer that is about 2 hours away now and they look after me very well :D
Ah, interesting. I found Bramley to be great and the one near Worthing was fine.
Saying all that, last month I bought a Triumph from Jack Lilley in Romford who were also great.
I am based nearish worthing and they are under new management now but even now I would not bother... I use 3x Motorcycles and they look after me :D
Kauf ich mir
+Peter Schirl
:) mir auch
You need s mic sock. The wind noise ruins this review.
+Tiger800 XCx
Yeah, got a new setup BUT left the bloody stuff at home :)
Things should be improving from now on though am still experimenting as I like to get the engine and exhaust sound in as well as the voice and it is perhaps too difficult.
+Tiger800 XCx Loved the XCX! I believe I reviewed it a while back.
The sound on these videos is abysmal. Has no-one heard of microphones?
+John Benton
i cant disagree!
sometimes i get it right. sometimes it sounds worse with exactly the same setup..
A Triumph Trident, in whatever guise. is a wonderful-sounding beast, especially when the throttle is opened up from low revs. I love that sound.
John Benton
Check out the sound on this T120 I just this second uploaded:
th-cam.com/video/8RawMwjlykE/w-d-xo.html
The original T120 in about 163 was a lovely thing to hear, and things have only got better. The Velo, being a single, sounded completely different but in it's way, just as gut-wrenching.
Aye, those old sounds are forever lost.
Still, some great new sounds on some machines.
How is this a review if it's the first time ever riding it?
Not everyone is short and on their tiptoes. As a normal sized man, this bike fits me fine. This "review" is a waste of time.
i seen orth views said some thing rubbish this guy say not any thing wrong it like been payed to say it gr8 it all BULL worse rewivew i seen not onist
+hightland motor girl gameing
I thought the bike was too tall and too expensive.
the sports capability was good.
For the money i would likely look at other bikes.
personally, i would save 4k and get a versus 1000 !
