Triumph India today confirmed that it would be launching the Tiger XRx and Tiger XCx motorcycles on March 12. Both motorcycles were unveiled at the 2015 India Bike Week and made their world debut at the EICMA fair in November 2014.

While both the Triumph XRx and XCx models have the same liquid-cooled, 12-valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder 800 cc engine that produces 93.7 bhp of power and 79 Nm of torque, and is mated to a six-speed gearbox, the differences are in their chassis and dynamics setup. The XRx is tuned for road use and light off-roading, while the XCx with its spoke wheels offers extra off-roading capabilities.
