Features
The XCx variant is adequately loaded with features like traction control, cruise control, heated grips, ABS, cornering ABS, semi-active suspension, and two riding mode- Road and Rain. This model also comes with 6-axis Inertia management unit (IMU) that keeps track of pitch, roll and yaw movement, enabling better integration of rider safety aids.
The fully loaded XCa variant that doesn’t make it here boasts added features like electronically adjustable wind deflector, electronic hill hold, two extra riding modes, heated rider and passenger seats, LED foglights, CNC machined footpegs and tyre pressure monitor.
Comparing the features of XCx and XCa variant, we can say that most of the riders won’t miss the features that come with Tiger Explorer XCa. Therefore, it’s a wise decision by Triumph India to bring only Tiger Explorer XCx.
