Explorer is actually lower seat than the XC. Lovely bike but feels a bit heavy and cumbersome to me, the XC is also considerably cheaper of course!



Fill the Tiger with all the extras, and still costs less than the explorer .... unless 98 bhp ain't enough for you ... shaft drive is the only real difference that I can see .. that and maneuvering around considerably more weight.

The explorer is, to put it bluntly f*cking fast, especially for that style of bike. Bit spenny though... the fly by wire throttle is an acquired taste... one that I'm not sure I've acquired just yet!
