The new Tiger 1200 witnesses several visual and performance updates; To be likely showcased at 2017 EICMA in Milan, Italy
It seems that Triumph Motorcycles is really aggressive with its product strategies. Recently, the British manufacturer took the wraps off its two products namely the Speedmaster and the Bobber Black edition. Now, the company is all set to introduce another motorcycle in the coming months.
Last week, the 2018 version of the Triumph Tiger 1200 has been spied testing somewhere in Spain near Triumph’s testing facility. Now recently, the XC variant of the new Tiger 1200 has been snapped on cam in a near production state.

The most evident change in the MY18 Tiger 1200 is the set of new headlamps. The fascia of this motorcycle is now sharper and looks less bulky. The headlamp section now has a horizontal LED strip which are Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). The central twin units will also be LEDs thereby offering better illumination at nights.
The motorcycle has been fitted with more lights beneath the central unit, suggesting that Triumph will add a set of cornering lights that will come integrated with the main headlamp section only. The motorcycle will also come with a couple of fog lamps but these will be limited to the top end XC variant only. However, these will be offered as optional on the base model as well.

The 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 also receives a new instrument cluster and the five inch unit seems to have been lifted straight from the new Street Triple. The attractive screen offers multiple colours and also has a feature that automatically adjusts contrasts as per day and night.
The exhaust of this motorcycle has also been reworked and it looks neat in comparison to the existing model. The revision to the unit also comes as a result of the bike now meeting Euro-IV norms.
