The new Tiger 800 range is expected to be marginally more expensive with prices ranging from Rs. 12 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base XR variant to over Rs. 16 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-of-the-line XCa variant. The new 2018 Tiger 800 range has several changes, including a new, full-colour TFT instrument panel, new graphics, new paint schemes and changes in ergonomics. But there are also significant changes to the engine and gearbox, as well as a smaller and more compact exhaust. We have already ridden the new 2018 Triumph Tiger 800 range, and the changes does make it feel different from the outgoing model, both in terms of performance, handling and aesthetics. We expect the new Tiger 800 to retain its leadership position in the adventure touring category in India, despite growing competition from the likes of the BMW F 750 GS, F 850 GS and even the Honda Africa Twin.
