The Tiger 800 XRx gets its first hit out and Adventure Rider Magazine’s editor embraces the hard-pannier way of life.
I was really impressed with Triumph’s Tiger 800XRx and was keen to have a crack at riding for relaxation and pleasure. That sounded like a lot of stress-free fun, and I was bit over the amount of wear-and-tear I was putting on other people’s new bikes. The Triumph guys, as usual, caught the mood and said, “Why don’t you hang on to the XRx for while? You can do some of that kind of riding and see if it’s for you.”
