Sorry, I can't provide you with the level of detail you're after. I looked at them when they came out and from what I remember they came without a centre stand because the suspension was lower than the standard bike, but have no idea what seat was fitted to either the low or standard XRX as I have a B*W

 

I have XRx LRH for your information th suspension front and rear is lowered which makes a triumph centre stand to long I think aftermarket may fit. I wouldn’t fit one as pegs ground out easily. I tried the BMW didn’t feel right seriously I fell in love with the triumph as soon as I sat on it. It’s been an amazing touring bike 65-70 mpg all day. ok on gravel but not off road if you go for 2018 or later you get LCD dash heated grips, cruise control. LED driving lights although not fitted the switch and wiring is. Need any more information drop me a line

 

Seat goes down to 760mm upto 785mm

 

Staffordshire Triumph had a couple of nice examples the other week I popped in, a great dealership ask for Dan You can tell him Ray mentioned him I live in Nottingham and go there for servicing best price & best service

 

My Tiger 800 XRX has an adjustable height riders seat. It is a really simple mechanism which simply involves moving the rear mounting bar on the seat to a different notch - I would imagine the other models, especially the higher spec XRT have this as well but can't confirm

My inside leg is 29" and the seat height is ideal for me on the lowest setting.

There are also "Low" versions available but they are not that common. They basically use different linkages for the rear suspension to lower it. It would be easy to retrofit these but there would be a knock on effect on the side and centre stands which would then be too long so would also need replacing. BTW, I find the centre stand a tad too long for ease of use on stock suspension settings.

My neighbour had the BMW and didn't find it very inspiring to ride.

 

I've got Triumph Explorer panniers and a Givi Trekker Outback Top Box. The Triumph panniers are basically re- badged Givis but for some odd reason the Triumph mounts and lock barrels aren't interchangeable with the Givis. The luggage holds a fair bit and is very sturdy, I carry loads of camera gear in mine. A minus point, if you filter, is the RH panniers sticks out quite far because of the muffler.
