Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to intermediate to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a tall, heavy adventure bike with strong midrange power.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance touring and mixed-terrain adventure riding rather than outright speed or track work.
Rider FitThe tall 837mm seat height and 265kg wet weight demand decent rider height, strength, and confidence at low speeds or off-road.
CharacterA powerful, refined triple-engine adventure tourer that blends shaft-drive durability with long-travel suspension for serious mile-munching.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for shorter riders, city commuters wanting a light nimble bike, or anyone prioritizing sharp sport-bike handling.

2015 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 837mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Triumph Tiger Explorer XC ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
