The Explorer versions share all the technical base, part of the rear and the front…everything else, the whole central area, including the positioning of the radiators, is different. Having an ad-hoc technical base helped us a lot.
For example, the radiators have been moved compared to the 20 liters, so that you can have a tank that is not too large. We have positioned the tanks so as not to affect the handling of the bike too much. Right from the start we worked on both versions of the front wheel, at the same time.
In short, [we had] four motorcycles that had to be proportionate, beautiful and harmonious…with very different attitudes. It is not a decoration — it supports the motor [and] the rear subframe.
That whole area was designed with the aim of lightness. This is the [thinnest]…that plate could be made. All the components of the central area were drawn together. The top, the surfaces, the edges… I love the tank. And then the headlight, which represents an important step compared to that of the Tiger It has cornering lights, a very spectacular DRL.
We have succeeded in that we have designed everything from scratch and we have been able to move the volume of the exhaust very low, in order to have a very thin muffler.
This was a very important project for Triumph, and therefore there was maximum availability and a great openness to the search for new solutions. Just look at the central area — so narrow considering it is a This is thanks to the fact that we have studied a very compact airbox. It is there under the rear luggage rack , because it has to go there.
It is true that you have to foresee a series of extra components, but when you design them you can draw them together with the bike. Let us know what you think by dropping a comment below.

Ex-homeschooler Amanda Quick spends her time managing her two businesses, digging into old bike manuals, and prepping for track days. Her love for bikes has her head stuck in the more futuristic predictions of the auto-world - and although she might raise eyebrows at the very suggestion of a ride with her cello, she loves you a little more for it.
Articulate nerd with a terrible sleep schedule and a dotty love for horsepower. Love the weight loss; that was needed. Consider as well that Triumph were a power trio whose drummer sang half the songs, and had therefore come to rely heavily on a stunning laser light show to enhance their stage presence, and it's increasingly clear why Stages failed to ignite fan imaginations -- even with the presence of most all of the band's biggest hits: "Lay It on the Line," "Magic Power," "Fight the Good Fight," etc.
To their credit, Triumph probably realized this and perhaps that's why they went to the trouble of recording two brand-new studio tracks for Stages. Unfortunately, neither Gil Moore 's smart '80s hard rock single confection "Mind Games" nor Rik Emmett 's dragging, weepy ballad "Empty Inside" were fated to join the band's repertoire of on-stage standards.
