Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V85 TT 2020

The cruiser among the touring enduros radiates cosiness and sovereignty. Its thundering V2 engine moves well and forgivingly. The chassis and brakes also work well. It is just as ill-suited to extreme off-road situations as it is in the hands of notorious knee-grinders. The Moto Guzzi V 85 TT likes to do its rounds in a refined and comfortable manner, and even for longer tours it offers enough practical comfort with its cardan drive and ergonomics. On top of that, it looks sensational and conveys emotion. The only thing some of our testers would like is a few more horses than its 80 hp.

Cosy, forgiving V2 engine

great sound

good decelerating brakes

very iconic, beautiful exterior

suitable for light off-road terrain

easy-care cardan drive

some of our editors would like to see more sportiness and performance

unsuitable for harder off-road tracks

driving in a standing position difficult for taller pilots

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

The new generation 900 Tiger - the Rally Pro model with impressive capabilities on and off the road. While it scores points on the road thanks to its high seating position and comfortable ergonomics, it is very stable and confidence-inspiring off-road. Thanks to its smooth throttle response and fine mechanical setup, it can turn into corners very precisely.

Very good basic stability off-road

Pleasant handlebar for comfortable standing on the bike

High seating position for long rides with comfortable knee position

Engine protection and lower crash bars included as standard

Very smooth throttle response

Good smoothness thanks to handlebar damping

Easily accessible bike

Good compromise between smoothness and sportiness

ABS of the rear brake is completely switched off in offroad mode, no offroad ABS available

Strongly road-orientated standard tyres on the Rally Pro

Adventure footrests not included as standard
