Triumph Motorcycles has announced a limited-run special edition of its 1,200cc adventure icon – the Tiger Explorer XC. With 50 bikes available from April, each unique model will celebrate the Hinckley-based firm’s international partnership with motorcycle expedition specialists, Globebusters.

Paying tribute to the bikes that will be used by Globebusters’ guides on their worldwide overland expeditions throughout 2015, the special edition Explorers have been fitted with a number of on-road and off-road upgrades and modifications.

The bikes are available in either matt black or matt blazing orange. As well as heated rider seat and grips, the special editions have been fitted with a taller screen, headlight protectors, radiator guards and CNC machined front foot rests.Every bike comes fitted with a sat nav and mount as standard, alongside a tank pad, panniers and roll bag.

Powered by Triumph’s 137 BHP three-cylinder power unit each bike also features intelligent ride-by-wire throttle control, cruise control, switchable ABS and full rider traction control. The  chassis has a strong steel frame and cast alloy wheels, 19” front and 17” rear, the latter featuring a single-sided swingarm.

In addition the Explorer has undergone a number of cosmetic changes. From painted pannier lids, mounts, footrest hangers and fog light surround to blacked-out grab handles and handlebars.
