| ![]() Friends, any information if the *low* versions will also be launched or is India Triumph already selling low versions already? I checked with the dealer here in Delhi but they don't have those (XCx/XRx low). My excitement to own a Tiger peaks till the time I reach the dealer and then dwindles the moment I'm astride. Yes the height can be reduced by 20 mm but from 860 down to 840 mm, I'm still barely able to touch the ground. The *low* versions have a range of 790-810 mm and that's the range I'm really happy with. Any information? Cheers! |

| ![]() Come Auto Expo in Feb, I expect / hope some announcements on the mid range BMW ADVs as well - the GS 750/850 twins. People may want to consider that as well. Quote:

XR- 810-830 stock; low accessory seat 790-810 Xrx- 810-830 stock, XCx- 840-860 stock, low accessory seat 790-810 XCa- 840-860 stock I'm at 5'6" and I don't expect to flat foot either but XCx seems like a good option now given I won't have to worry about alloys if I choose to off road while out there or if I hit the many pot holes on our roads but then XCa might call for outex treatment before venturing out. And then.., I'll grudgingly need to forgo the 'Street',(confused!!) let's see. Thanks again!. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() They can give cash discount but its not worth coz they have a deal for accessories. A friend got good deal for his Bonnie and he picked up a T800. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Good things from the review. Been waiting to see the newer 2018 models be launched, to understand the pricing. Until that happens, we should revel in the fact that the Govt had reduced import duty on 800c and + bikes by 25% - from 75% to 50%. That should bring the price down quote nicely ; will be a couple of lakhs on the top variants. ![]() |

There is an offer of 1.5L free accessesories running now. Which should cease with the newer models, and also see a slight price increase. Net net - Costums reduction might not make a big difference for those waiting it out for the new 800. However, those considering the top end models should surely wait for the new features added. | |

Current bikes have offer as an incentive for the buyer (to entice). New models perhaps won't get the accessories offer until Triumph sees sales trend go down for it. If the current bikes are on offer even after the duty reduced prices are announced, maybe Keerthi Triumph will stop the offer claiming already reduced prices for Customer. Give that strategy an attempt. 25% reduction in cost of the bike, whether base variant or top end, is likely to be between 1.8 to 2.4 lakhs. It's significant. Also it can offset the price increase Triumph is planning. Which also, it now has to strongly reconsider as BMW F 850GS is at 13.7 lakhs. Many would consider it while looking at XCx or XCa. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() My bad. ![]() What I meant is - Import duty reduction might reflect only on fresh stock being imported. Hence the companies might not extend it to vehicles sitting in the showroom currently. Is that understanding of mine correct? Or are we expecting the showroom stock prices also to be reduced? I'm guessing the import duty is already paid when the bikes are invoiced from the factory. Quote:
Current model is having 1.5L accessories on offer. Could be able to negotiate more. Hence more or less matching the above figure. That's what I was thinking. But again, like you said - If they are left with old stock and prices do drop as well - a couple of guys might end up with a steal of a deal. ![]() | |

![]() Yeah, 1.5L accessories is a tempting offer. Surely a bit more can be bargained for when few old stock copies still remain but I doubt they'll scale up to 2L or more (they already start at 1.25L for new prospects as they want to not cross their ceiling of 1.5L, I feel). But ignoring the 25% duty on the new bikes is hard and also not prudent as due to vehicle cost reduction (~2+ lakhs), all allied pricing of other taxes, road tax, insurance and everything reduces by equal margin. The gain will be numerically more than the 1.5L of accessories offer. Emotionally, accessories may appeal better. ![]() | |
