Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer 2022

With the slimmer Tiger 1200, Triumph has now joined the ranks of the very best in the top enduro touring class. The Rally models also convince in practice with real off-road competence, the GT models with exemplary agility, both with power and sovereignty in every situation thanks to the three-cylinder engine full of character. It won't knock the BMW R1250 GS off its throne as the best-selling motorbike, but it certainly doesn't have to hide from it or other contenders. Our comparative tests will reveal whether it has what it takes to be the best "big adventure bike" of 2022. Especially since the cat of prey manages the balancing act between long-distance and off-road capability, which a touring enduro always has to master, really well, more in one direction or the other depending on the model choice.

Powerful engine

High-quality electronics package

Semi-active chassis regulates finely

Extensive standard equipment

Long-distance comfort

Excellent wind and weather protection

Agility

Better model spread between on- and off-road than the predecessor model.

Minor load change reactions on Explorer models

Blind Spot Assist not available on Pro models

High pillion seat restricts freedom of movement for sporty off-roading

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2021

Yamaha Tracer 9 GT 2021

Yamaha impressively proves how wonderfully emotional a practical motorbike can be. Again and again you laugh mischievously into your helmet when you let the husky three-cylinder off the leash. An all-round successful motorbike that can replace half a motorbike garage. Unfortunately, the attempt with the unconventional display was a failure. It is impractical and difficult to read.
