Bro triumph should give you new bike for free. Because all the short rider's who are going to buy the tiger Due to this confidence boosting video.well made
Very well said. Amount of effort done in this video.
I’m 5’2” And ride 2018 tiger 800 xcx, low seat in high position, lowering link in rear and front forks dropped 10mm though the triple clamp. Confidence is a big part of riding. Great vid👍
Hi! in looking at getting a triumph 800 xcx. I'm planning of lowering it like you have done. Do both your feet touch the ground without an issue like having to lean over to have your foot flat on the ground?
Me too! Wanting to have an ADV wondering how you feel on the 800xcx, I'm 5'3 I'm riding a cruiser bik now for the heck of low seat!
Great vid, and I did a similar thing. I’m a 5’5” female and bought a Suzuki V-Strom with a 33” seat height. I cut the seat down myself, and ordered boots with high heels AND thicker soles all the way along the boot sole. That worked!
Straight to the point video with perfect explanation/illustration with no faffing about.
Subbed.
Thanks a lot Prad for the comment.
Thank You For such a great review I'm 5'2 ,and was wandering if I could ride such a monster, thank you again,keep riding 💪🏼💪🏼
I I am so grateful that I watched your video. I too am short. So when your title said am I too short for the tiger of course I clicked on it. I am 5 foot three and owned the tiger 800 low version which was great. I wanted the standard height version because I like to ride canyons at a nice crisp pace. I can tiptoe with the stock seat in the low position. I Purchased the low seat as well. But when I installed it on my bike it was the same height as the stock seat in the low position. Now here’s where it gets good. Watching your video I learned that my low seat has an adjustment that lowers it another 20 mm. I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you so much for your video. I own the 2020 tiger GT pro and I have 2600 miles on it so far. I love this bike. Enjoy your new bike!
Hows the maintenance and mileage please?
@@harishsharma7095 I just change the oil once a year. I Don’t pay attention to the gas mileage as I do not use the bike as a commuter. It’s only for fun. I’m going to guess about 42 to 46 miles per gallon. This is the fourth try a motorcycle that I have owned and I have never had a problem with any of them.
Great video man. I’m about 5’4” and really considering a tiger gt. Luckily we have the low version available in the states but your video helps put things in perspective for me.
Thanks mate, very good info and video for average/short riders getting confused to buy a proper tourer like a tiger, I just parted with my Bonneville A3 which I owned for 3 years and came across this video which increased my confidence to opt for tiger as my next bike, I am 5 foot 7 and I now have all the confidence, appreciate your good work once again.
Thanks Vijay. I'm really happy that my content was able to help you with getting convinced. All the best. And thanks again.
Finally sone one found, who explained low seat. Great job sir.
Sir , U inspired me , gave the confidence to think about Tiger , tq
I'm happy my content helped you. Wishing you all the best.
@@ajitdevan Would you use this bike for daily commute?
@@ajitdevan
What's your height?
thanks for the video i am 5'4. i do not dare even try to sit on high adv bike. you give me the confident to try
Outstanding & thank you sir. I am 5’9” and really want the Tiger. You have made my day !
Right on point and good explanation bro. I am just 5'6" and most of those 830mm height bikes were tall to and I would be tip toeing but this 810mm seat height would be manageable for short guys like me I think. If the bring the 790mm seat height option in India it would be a great selling factor for Triumph.
Go and watch Bulu Patnaik's short height wala video
Royal Enfield Himalayan seat height is 800 mm...and bmw gs750 height is 790 mm
Thanks a lot bro ,very useful information,searched a lot of other channels regarding seat height issue on adv motos but this channel gave me the correct info and also boosted my confidencs,loved it😃
(PS:Im 5'2)
Thanks a million, bro, for helping us short people to become more confident about riding a Tiger.
Love the way you come across and explain everything, am a wee bit taller and was wondering about trail style bikes so will now look in confidence, thank you
Thanks for this great video, I am 5’5 and planning to buy the tiger 1200 but the height was such a big issue but this video increased my confidence , thanks again.
Great video, as a 5Ft 2" , this gives me great confidence, recently booked an Harley X440, awaiting delivery
Earlier this year i went to test ride BMW f750 and i was so disheartened by the fact that however much i liked the bike, it isn’t practical for me to ride that bike with adequate amount of confidence because of height issue.....this video made me happy. Thank you 😀
It was definitely a pleasure to get this info out for people like you and I. I feel good to know that my video made you happy. Will keep my efforts on to keep you entertained! Enjoy life!! Celebrate life!! and Keep Cheering!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I love triumph tiger and I think I can't ride this bike cuz I'm 5'3 tall and I ride bajaj avenger. Your story boost My confidence and make me feel in love with tiger even more. Great sir!!!
Hi Nishant, Height is just a mind block. If with 154 Cm that is not even 5.1, I can ride, I'm sure you have more than a couple of inches of height than me. So don't hesitate! It is 20% about knowing the technique and 80% in the mind.
@@ajitdevan 👌
You gave lot of Confidence for all the short riders. In fact I was too scared by looking at this bike's height (never gone for test ride by looking at the pics of this bike lol) thinking I couldn't handle this beast ( BTW I am 5.7" still worried). After looking at your video, I am confident that I can handle this beast. Thank you soo much brother 🙏❤
me too, I was shy to sit on any ADV before until tried Tiger 900 GT low. perfect fully touch down with sole in high seat position. 100% happy with ride quality, fast, agile, and heated bars.
just one shorcoming: no bluetooth with such big TFT screen. SAD.
Hey great video! I’m just a bit taller at 5’7” but had the same confidence problem. So I bought my brand new Tiger 850 Sport just about 2 weeks ago. Love it!
Thanks for clearing me because I'm having a same doubt u have now I am having a full confidence
U inspired me
I'm really happy that my content was of help to you. All the best Hashvauth.
I tried the same in Germany when I rented Triumph Tiger 800 XRT. It helped me boost my confidence riding across Alps. Those additional 20mm reduction! Thank you! All the other tourers like BMW and Ducatis are super tall. Unfortunate for short riders but thanks to this accesories we also can enjoy these rides.
Brother, you have given me more than Just hope .I am really looking forward to see more of your vlogs, rides and the Experiences with taming the Tiger ! Lots of love .
Thanks a lot for the encouragement. Will definitely keep as many videos as I can.
I am 5'7" (173cm), I purchased a 2023 Tiger GT Low right after one test drive. The day I was in a triumph dealership for my moto guzzi service. I was ready to buy a BMW R18 for huge discount but that was a Saturday BMW was closed. I saw this, I sat on it, it was so nice to have a low seat version of Tiger! Before no GS, No Tiger, low rider height (LRH) gives all of short men to enjoy ADV chance. After one test drive, I traded my moto guzzi and become a new ADV touring biker.
Thanks Rider little, you even can ride a GT normal version with low seat, good to know. Low GT has little different geometry from normal GT, which means shorter forks and rear suspension, a little shorter total length as well, giving the low rider version more road capacity and less off road drama. But, like suv car, who really did off-road? Need a comfy, fast, wind proof, heated handlebar, nice screen, and safe ride.
Today pick the bike, very happy. only modification is remove the hand guards due to width restriction! I have to drive this bike into the office foyer, the door just too narrow allowing handguards....sad.
What a great video and fortunately I'm too 5.2 😂😂😂
Please keep uploading videos of your riding experience. I would be more than happy to ride with you once as it gives more insight of real world scenarios. Cheers 👍🏻
Thanks Sagar for the motivation. I will definitely upload videos regularly.
Mate, you have my respect riding a Tiger. I'm 5ft 5in and I find it difficult enough!
Thanx bro for such a great and helpful video.... i myself being a 5'.3" tall, can now able to ride this bike...tiger has always been my favourite bike and only thing letting me down was the seat height of this beast....but ur beautiful presentation helped me....Thanx a lot bro for this....May God bless u forever.....
Great story! Glad you're back on two-wheels.
You gave a GOD like solution 🙌🏽, Everything one needs to know & how to get it done, excellent job
Much needed video. Very well done.
Thanks a lot Prakash. Means a lot!!!
Very well presented information. Showed the capability in both standard and low seat options and how the use of good choices in footwear can make a huge difference without losing suspension travel for off road use.
congratulations Sir, i am really happy for your success with tiger. also, excellent presentation!
Subscribed your channel for awesome content.Wish you all d best
Thanks Sashi. Really means a lot.
Nice one fella, I have a low seat tiger 800 and wear Doc Marten boots.
Thanks Les!
U r awesome brother....man all these while I was in a dilemma how to ride these adventure bykes...since am 5 FT 4 inches...I tried many middle class bykes ..and Himalayan was the only option but was not liking it ... triumph and BMW was only a dream...and finally I got a HD street 750...but its not meeting the purpose...after seeing u r video ...I think I can manage triumph...
Thanks alot and God bless 🙏👍
Safe ride brother 👍
Thanks a lot Saji. Really appreciate your feedback. Wishing you all the best.
Wow ! What an amazing video , loved it sir thank you very much for giving me hope
Thanks a lot for the appreciation. I am happy you found my content helpful!
Sir.....
Thank you for such a video for low height riders....I don't know when will I buy this one......but after watching your video .....its make me to dream.....Sure..sir..I love this bike ....and your technical team...also update your videos sir..
Great presentation you put together. I ride a 2018 Tiger XRT and am fortunate enough to be able to flat foot the bike. I just wanted to say that you will not regret purchasing this. In my 26 years of riding, it is by far the best motorcycle I have ridden. Lightweight, fast and comfortable. God Bless you and safe riding my friend.
Great video... glad that your were able to make it worth for you. I'm in the states I was thinking of getting the low version, but I'm first going to check out the standard GT in the low position. I'm 5'-6".
Let's us know if it was worth it or if the GT low worked a lot better. Best of luck
instantly subbed 🙌🏻 whatta greeat video...whatta confidence booster this clip is...dayymmm !!!!! ❤️ one heart fr you sir 🔥 keep it up 🤞🏻
I am 4 months late. I recently dropped my buying discussion from tiger to RE Interceptor just because of height issue. A wonderful explanation! ❤️
I love that triumph offer this in a low version from factory too, wish they did the 1200 low again as well
Wow, that's amazing innovation in the accessory seat. I am of similar height and had to opt for Z900 old model, this gives me the confidence to think about Tiger as my next bike. Another way, which I did is to use heel inserts, they add approx 2 inches, very effective in city riding
Hi Rajiv, I wish you all the best. I'm happy that this content was of help to you. Thanks a lot.
@@ajitdevan Hi, I am taking delivery of Tiger 850 Sport in the first week of January. I can tip toe with the standard seat at 810 but 790 will definitely be much more comfortable. Is the lower seat as comfortable as the standard one ?
I loved your video, positive attitude and perseverance. Happy riding to you!
Chief, good one. I got back tp biking after a 28 year gap. Serially got a Kawasaki Vulcan 650, then a RE Int650 (current), booked and awaiting a RE Himalayan. Now seriously thinking of the Tiger 900 GT. Your video has given me solid pre showroom confidence. Now just have to handle the price as well....
your video has really encouraged all those short riders who love biking
Love the Video, Confidence Inspiring for many short riders. Good Job Man "Ride Safe & Ride More".
Fantastic. Congratulations. Enjoy your BEAST! :)
Triump should give you a reward because you give us confident :D
Super sir...my confidence is totally up after watching ur demo..Im into cars totally but lately i thought of having a bike vch can do long tours , triumph tiger was in my radar but was sceptical about its presence ...now surely u raised my confidence level..thank u
I like how you are presenting, you have my sub. Kind Regards from Greece
Inspiring! Great video!
Awesome video mate. Manufacturers frequently forget about the little people.....ie those under 6'.
Thanks you for this video! I am thinking about doing the same and this video helped me to decide!
Your smile says it all! Well done👍
I am considering buying a ADV soon and being 5.3ft this is the one major problem and also the weight in case of a fall. But lookin at the options in the seat, I am one step closer to buy my first ADV.
Thank you for the info.
Ohh...I was going to drop a comment about you forgetting to add your height information and then I watched till the end.
I thought I was short for tiger with almost 5.9 feet. Thanks a lot bro, tiger 850 is almost final for me now.
All the best Kushagra. I'm happy my content helped you.
This video is such a relief for short rider such as me.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
What a informative video very nice
Thank u bro i was depressed because im 5'6 so now I am confident to ride a tiger because of u
Damm . Thank you so much for the video . I am 5”7 and kept wondering if can ride this one . Now I know I can . Great job with the video
Amazing!!! That is very helpful! Keep it up.
Kudos to you bro. You're the best. Love you brother. You really inspired not only me but to all shorter beginner rider who love to ride but reluctant and afraid to buy their dream bike. Ride safe and GOD bless you always bro.👍👍👍
Great video with good information 👍
Man you inspire me a lot. Love to see a video of you riding the tiger .
Thank u brother. I ride Interceptor 650 with seat height of 804. I guess i should try Tiger GT as well
Happy to know that I could influence your thought process.
Thats amazing .........🤗😍😍😍😍😍
Gentlemen, the title of this video should be " A Ray Of Hope" for short riders. This video could give a great relief to short rider that they can ride a bike like tiger.
Thanks Shahid.
Very nice presentation man! Nailed it! This gives confidence to lot of folks who are puzzled on this matter :)
Thanks a lot Jacob
I loved your video. Was looking for exactly same video. You gave me confidence of riding this bike.
Now that i have seen you, i will buy one too. Same height us- brothers❤
Hey man.. I am 5.5 and Now I feel pretty confident that I can think off bikes like these thanks..
Yes best Triumph seat option review ever.
Great video can you please tell me was the low seat less comfortable on long rides I am guessing that some of the padding is removed when the low seat is made.
Good job on the video and putting in a lot of tips for shorter riders. Salute!
Glad your enjoying your Tiger. I feel like you when I try to sit on a GS lol. Ride safe
First, I liked his frankness and non-racism of the Indian producer Royal & Field, and his acquisition of Triumpth. Second, I liked his insistence on acquiring Adventure motorcycle despite his short stature. Thirdly, I liked the bike very much, especially shape also the movement of the seat up and down.
Excellent video !
Keep cheering Ajit.. liked ur video and loved ur presentation and bike too
Thanks Dhanesh. Means a lot.
Sir, I am 5'3 and I am very keen to change my Avenger 220 to something like the RE or Jawa. My height was a big bother for me. Though I have rode the bullet of 1980s after so many years with Bajaj Boxer and Avenger, I needed something to give me confidence to make a decision. Thanks a lot to you for making this video.
Best regards
As a short rider I found this very interesting thanks
Brilliant!! Ajit bro, re-enforce my decision to buy an Adv Tourer. At 5'8" I was hesitant. Now to decide between the Tiger 1200 or the Ducati Multistrada V4S. Thank you 😊 again.
Cheers buddy! Same challenge with me too…
Thanks bro, simple and precise explanation.
Excellent video. Thanks for the confidence sir.
good info bro ... very authentic ... excellent ... thanks
Very informative, liked it a lot.
