The idea of an adventure motorcycle, slipping and sliding through sand and rock climbing mountains with luggage for a month. Throttle open, sliding the rear, standing tall on the footpegs and having a blast, as you watch the world disappear in your RVMs! That is how many imagine riding their adventure motorcycle, unfortunately due to a lack of riding skill and technique the rider ends up tiptoeing through tricky sections hoping they don’t drop the bike in front of the audience that automatically forms to see the motorcyclists antics!
A rider needs to hone his/ her skills to truly enjoy the machine and keeping this in mind Triumph Motorcycle India has introduced the comprehensive Triumph Tiger Training Academy. In a bid to help the Tiger owner fully exploit its potential a series of training camps have been organised by the British marquee in collaboration with MotoDreamz. Having hosted its first training in Hyderabad on 9th and 10th January 2016, the second session was held in Delhi on 23rd and 24th January 2016. The training will also be organised at the upcoming IBW, Goa on 19th and 20th February 2016. This platform gives a unique chance for customers to better understand their revered motorcycles and interact with seasoned rider and unarguably a legend in the motorcycling community Mr Vijay Parmar.
Triumph Motorcycles recently launched the pinnacle of the Tiger series, XCA, and consolidated the luxurious Adventure motorcycle portfolio offered along with Tiger XR, XRx, XCx and Tiger Explorer XC. Featuring a host of rider focused technology such as the standard fitment of Triumph Traction Control and switchable ABS, the new Tiger with its powerful and more fuel engine is up for any task. The Tiger series boasts of an incredible level of standard equipment designed to maximise comfort and convenience on even the longest of journeys with it finely honed handling, truly making it a premium indulgence for the rider. Whether your adventures include tackling miles of twists and turns, or taking in terrain of the rougher variety and leaving the tarmac behind, the Tiger series is the ultimate in adventure motorcycle riding. Yet, doing it all with an unparalleled class.
Vimal Sumbly, Managing Director, Triumph Motorcycles India said, “We at Triumph Motorcycles are committed to delivering the most exceptional experiences to our customers with our incredible technology driven bikes. Having received an overwhelming response from the Indian market in such a short span of time, we want to offer the best to our customers here. The Tiger is truly a remarkable adventure bike much like a high end SUV on two wheels with its state of the art features and rider focused technology suited for both on and off road riding. The Tiger Training Academy is a sincere effort to give back to our passionate riders with seasoned quality training and interactive sessions. It is also a great way of showcasing how much more their very own Tiger is capable of in terms of performance. It is a great way to reconnect with our customers in line with our goal to provide them with a holistic riding experience.”
Rish John George, talking about his experience on the Tiger 800 XCx with his wife Tina from Kottyam, said, “Our trip lasted 55days covering 15,950kms travelling through scorching deserts at temperatures above 45C and ice cold Himalayan mountains at -6C. We travelled through roads which can be hardly called roads. At all extremities the bike carried us effortlessly without any mechanical issues. We recommend Triumph Tiger to anyone who plans to do touring, especially couples.”
Ashish Rao Rane, another Tiger 800 rider from Pune said, “My ride to Arunachal-China border only proved that the Triumph Tiger is an outstanding adventure motorcycle. Last year, I pushed the bike through Raid De Himalaya cross country rally. The bike’s performance was simply phenomenal with it effortlessly dismissing rocky terrains and tough climate. Going through the Raid, there were initial doubts about the choice of my steed which I can proudly say were put to rest as my Tiger crossed the finish line!”
