Mad Max the Adventure Triumph: Outfitting the Tiger 800 XC

Mud.  Rocks.  Sand.  Dirt.

Tree branches.  Shrubs.  Fallen logs.

Creeks.  Rivers.  Bottomless puddles.

This is not a ride through the urban jungle.  Or suburbia.  Or your neighbor's front lawn.

This is serious.  Off road.  Adventure.

And you had better be prepared.  Starting with your motorcycle.

First, there is only one bike you need:  The 2011 Triumph Tiger 800 XC.

Just ask the guys at Hell for Leather.  I quote:  This thing is amazing!


But just as Max Rockatansky wasn't driving your mother's family sedan across the Australian countryside, your Tiger 800 XC needs the proper body armor to do battle with Mother Nature and a hostile unpaved world.


Whether is the steamy South American jungles or through the mist rolling in off the lake shore, you still still have to find a way to illuminate the trail.  Triumph's Fog Light kit will light your way:














Riding through the woods on a crisp (re: very chilly) autumn morning is just as much fun as barreling through them in June.  Make sure your hands stay thawed out enough to pull in the clutch with Triumph's  Heated Grips:


Mother Nature will throw all sorts of surprises at you.  Sometimes literally.  Protect yourself and your bike with the adjustable high screenSump GuardRadiator Guard and Headlamp Protector:



And don't forget to protect your belongings with the fully weatherproof Adventure Saddlebags and Top Box:















Mishaps will happen on the trail.  Rear wheels slide.  Forks twist in the sand.  Sometimes you misjudge a slope or the available traction along a river bed.  You might even have to drag your Tiger 800 XC under a fallen log (true story!).  Don't subject the engine to the sharp end of a rock, protect it with Tiger 800 Engine Guards:














And for riders who couldn't find their way out of an open paper bag with a flashlight, there's the GPS Mount.



The Tiger 800 XC is no ordinary motorcycle.  Properly armored, its no ordinary Tiger 800 XC.  Ready to battle the trails, unmarked territory, or Toecutter and the Berserk gang, this bike is epic adventure.
