Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience on mid-size adventure bikes, comfortable with a tall seat height and the extra bulk of a fully-equipped touring ADV.
PurposeBuilt as a long-distance adventure tourer that can handle everything from motorway slabs to gravel trails and light off-road tracks.
Rider FitThe 840-860mm seat height and 208kg dry weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find it a handful at low speed or when fully loaded with luggage.
CharacterA refined, torquey triple-cylinder engine gives smooth, confident power delivery with a distinctive engine note, paired with premium WP suspension and full electronic rider aids.
Not Ideal ForNot the ideal choice for riders wanting a lightweight city commuter or a track-focused sportbike, as its adventure-touring proportions and setup prioritize comfort and versatility over outright speed and razor-sharp handling.

2020 Triumph Tiger 800 XCA Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Triumph Tiger 800 XCA, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
