British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph conducted the Triumph Tiger Training Academy at Adventure Zone in Gurgaon on January 14 & 15. The main purpose of the event was to give the owners the experience of what the Tiger is really capable of in off-road conditions and allow them to exploit the bike’s capabilities to the fullest.

The training academy saw an overwhelming amount of biking enthusiasts from cities such as Delhi, Chandigarh and the neighbouring cities. The event focused on exploring the capabilities of the bike and how the bike handles different terrain, be it road or dirt. They were also made to understand the different electronic aids and how it helps improving the riding experience and also builds the confidence of the riders. The Tiger Training Academy acts as a good proving ground for the owners to come and test their riding skills and improve on them. Triumph also provides dealer bikes to non-customers on a first-come-first-serve basis.

At present the Tiger is available in five variants altogether: XR, XRx, XCx, XCa in 800cc and the Explorer XC comes with a 1.2-litre engine. The 800cc  three-cylinder, liquid cooled engine makes 94bhp and 79Nm of torque, while the 1,215cc three-cylinder engine makes 135bhp and 121Nm of torque.
