2018 triumph reviews

2018 didn't have much competition in the 800 ish cc class of off road oriented Adventure bikes. It was the first year of Triumph's 3rd generation Tiger 800, and XCA was the most well equipped off road oriented version of the middleweight Tiger. It's only other direct competition was the BMW F 850 GS Adventure. The next closest competitor was the KTM 1090 Adventure which was lighter and more powerful. There was also the Honda Africa Twin in 1000 cc, Compared to these other bikes, I think the only one that really bested it was the KTM 1090 Adventure. I think the Tiger was geared slightly too high, so I recommend dropping two teeth on the rear sprocket for lower speed technical prowess, and upgrading the rear shock. The display was great. after 15k miles I never had a problem. I recommend installing upper crash bars so you don't have to worry about damage when you crash. Engine is fun and exhilarating. Handled all trails. The KTM 1090 Adventure was the one to beat in performance, but I loved the overall package of the Triumph Tiger 800. Show less

The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is a classic motorcycle, fun to ride, looks great on the road with great performance capability from its 1200 cc engine and water cooled. The Bobber stands out with its unique and stylish design that goes back to the retro Bobber bikes of the past. I have enjoyed riding it on the back roads of San Diego County. Show less

I have had nothing but good times with this motorcycle. Lightweight, great power for the size, good mileage. Great look, get asked all the time what year it is with people expecting it to be a classic when it is a modern motorcycle. This bike is awesome, cruise control is super convenient, heated grips are helpful in the winter time or during early morning rides before it starts to warm up. Added the saddlebags to add storage for the longer rides. Three years of owning this bike and I love it. Show less
