POLISPORT Carregosa, PORTUGAL Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.polisport.com Tiger 800 4-Track Italian exhaust specialist HP Corse says it thinks that designing a system that improves on the already excellent performance of the Triumph Tiger 800 family - "probably the most daring ADV model yet built" - is quite a challenge, but not one to pass up. "The Tiger has Triumph's new generation three- cylinder engine, extremely responsive power delivery and optimised ergonomics delivering excellent performance both on and off-road, with surprising 24 British motorcycle controls specialist Venhill has introduced a version of its 888 Fast-Action Throttle for the Yamaha R1. Developed in conjunction with the Seton Tuning endurance team and designed with track riders in mind, it enables riders to select the throttle action that best suits the track and riding conditions along with their riding style. It is supplied with two rotors, and the fastest setting gives 80 degrees of rotation, around 45% faster than standard throttles, while the standard setting gives 90 degrees of rotation, around 25% faster than OE. Settings can be changed "quickly and easily" by undoing two hex socket bolts which secure the throttle body and changing the rotor inside. It also saves time as it enables the throttle cable to be changed without having to remove the throttle housing from the bar. acceleration on any type of terrain. "However, we have been able to develop a solution that takes the Tiger 800 to another level with a model-specific development of our strongest and most powerful exhaust - the 4-Track. "Available in three different materials, design-wise it is unlike any other single redesign for the rear of the Tiger 800, enhancing its aesthetic characteristics, agility and sound". Designed as an exhaust for sport touring, ADV, maxi Enduro and crossover applications, the new 4-Track "was created to do many kilometers and withstand the most demanding situations. Tested for a long time on the bench and on the road, the 4-Track guarantees solidity and reliability, a reduced weight compared to the original Triumph exhaust system, and improvements to the performance of the three- cylinder engine, especially at medium and high speeds". Euro 4 approved, the 4-Track is 400 mm long, has an octagonal shaped body with a weld-free, hydroformed end piece and a carbon heat shield and silencer body. It is available in titanium, satin steel or black steel. The Venhill 888 has a cast alloy body and durable nylon throttle tubes and rotor, and is supplied as a kit to fit the '15-'19 R1. The kit comes with matching Venhill Featherlight throttle cables, made using marine-grade stainless steel inner wire for minimum stretch and low friction PTFE liner for a smoother action, and removes the need for lubrication. Made in the UK, Venhill also supplies Featherlight clutch cables and race set-up brake lines for the R1.
