Unrivalled performance
Only the best materials are used in your Tiga FX. The aerospace grade aluminium used to build a Tiga is famous for its strength, durability and is synonymous with lightness. The Tiga features perfect toe in toe out for minimum drag, a lightweight frame for pushing efficiency.
