If you’re looking to unlock the true potential of your adventure bike, the triumph tiger 1200 explorer performance exhaust from Max Torque Cans is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Built in the UK by riders who understand what a machine like this deserves, our exhaust delivers a deeper, more authoritative note, a genuine boost in mid-range response, and a look that turns heads on the trail and in the city alike. Whether you’re carving through the Alps or commuting across the M6, this is the can your Tiger was born to wear.
Why Choose a Max Torque Can for Your Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorer?
The triumph tiger 1200 explorer is a formidable machine straight from the factory — a three-cylinder adventure tourer that balances long-distance comfort with genuine performance credentials. But the standard silencer is a compromise. It’s designed to meet noise regulations and suit every market worldwide, which means it’s holding your engine back. Our performance can strips away that restriction, allowing the engine to breathe more freely, produce a more characterful exhaust note, and deliver that unmistakable surge of power through the mid-range that adventure riders live for.
Max Torque Cans has been manufacturing aftermarket exhausts in the UK for over a decade. Every can is crafted from high-quality materials and finished to a standard that matches the prestige of your motorcycle. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t outsource quality control. When your order arrives, you can be confident it’s been made with the same passion you feel every time you twist the throttle.
What’s Included in the Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorer Exhaust Kit
We believe in making things simple. When your triumph tiger 1200 explorer exhaust kit arrives, you’ll have everything you need to complete the fit without a trip to the dealer or a frantic search for compatible hardware. Here’s exactly what’s in the box:
- 1 x Max Torque Can Exhaust — 450mm Long
- 1 x Link Pipe
- 1 x Connecting Clamp
- 1 x Stainless Exhaust Strap
- 1 x Exhaust Strap Rubber
This complete kit is designed to bolt directly onto the standard OEM downpipes of the triumph tiger 1200 explorer. No fabrication, no specialist tools, no drama. The connecting clamp ensures a secure, gas-tight seal, whilst the stainless strap and rubber mount give the can a solid, rattle-free fit that will last for miles and miles of hard riding.
Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorer Fitment Notes and Installation Tips
Fitting your new can to the triumph tiger 1200 explorer is a straightforward job that most competent home mechanics can complete in under an hour. The kit is engineered to work directly with the factory downpipes, so there’s no need to modify your frame or undertray. We recommend allowing the engine to cool fully before beginning the installation, and applying a small amount of exhaust assembly paste to the link pipe joint to ensure a perfect seal and aid future removal.
Once fitted, you may notice a slight change in fuelling characteristics, particularly if your triumph tiger 1200 explorer is running a standard ECU map. Many riders choose to have the fuelling remapped or use a fuel tuner to maximise the performance gains from the freer-flowing can. This isn’t essential — the exhaust will fit and function correctly without a remap — but it does allow you to extract every last bit of performance the engine has to offer.
When tightening the clamp and strap, we recommend torquing everything up gently to begin with, running the bike to operating temperature, and then performing a final check and retighten once the components have settled. This gives you the tightest, most secure fitment possible and prevents any minor weeping at the joints.
Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorer Performance Exhaust — Sound and Finish Options
One of the most common reasons riders upgrade the can on their triumph tiger 1200 explorer is simply the sound. The standard silencer muffles the wonderful triple-cylinder character of the engine — our performance can lets that voice sing. Expect a deep, rich, progressive tone at low revs that builds into something genuinely spine-tingling as you climb toward the redline. It’s never antisocial, but it always lets you know you’re riding something special.
Our 450mm can is available in a range of finishes to suit your style and the look of your triumph tiger 1200 explorer. Whether you prefer the understated aggression of a black finish, the classic shine of polished stainless, or the premium appeal of carbon fibre end caps, Max Torque Cans has you covered. Check the variation options on this listing to select the exact specification that suits your build.
If you’re building a complete custom look for your adventure tourer, you might also want to browse our range of other Triumph fitments. If you’re a fan of the brand’s sporting heritage, take a look at the Triumph Speed Triple 955i 2000 – 2004 performance can, which showcases the same quality of craftsmanship in a naked bike application. We also offer a dedicated performance can for the Triumph Tiger 900 Adventure 2020 – 2023, which is an excellent reference point if you’re shopping for a fellow Tiger owner.
