Triumph Tiger Explorer

⚠️ Things to consider

• Heavy weight: The Triumph Tiger Explorer 2012 is on the heavier side compared to other adventure touring motorcycles, which can make it more challenging to maneuver in tight spaces or off-road terrain.
• High seat height: The tall seat height of the Tiger Explorer may be intimidating for shorter riders, making it difficult to plant both feet firmly on the ground when stopped.
• Limited off-road capabilities: While the Tiger Explorer is marketed as an adventure touring bike, its weight and size can limit its performance on more technical off-road trails compared to lighter, more off-road-focused motorcycles.
• Reliability issues: Some riders have reported reliability issues with the 2012 model, including electrical problems and engine issues, which can be costly to repair.
• Outdated technology: Compared to newer models in the adventure touring segment, the Triumph Tiger Explorer 2012 may lack some of the latest technological features and advancements, such as advanced rider aids and connectivity options.
