Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Scrambler Nightshift 2021

In the Scrambler 800 model series, the Nightshift presents itself as a sporty representative for the city and the country road. The engine has enough power and a wonderfully smooth response. The chassis and seating position are comfortable enough to cope with cobblestones, but the saddle is a little too hard. And if you ride too sportily, you will be disillusioned when the braking system demands a lot of power and the standard tyres convey little feeling. However, if you are looking for a cool retro bike with commuter potential and a lot of character, you should definitely consider the new Nightshift!

Smooth engine

comfortable chassis

cornering ABS

strong character bike

cool looks

low seat height of 798 mm.

little feeling for the front wheel

front brake needs manual force

chassis reaches its limits at sporty speeds

Triumph Bonneville Bobber 2021

The Triumph Bobber 2026 is the quiet queen of coolness. It doesn't need top values to shine, but shines with composure, torque and mechanical honesty. The Speedmaster counters this with the same genes in a different body: more comfortable, more majestic, with clear limits to the sporty radius. Together, they make a pair that you won't think of leaving the garage once you've ridden one. For soloists who want to breathe style, it's the Bobber. For connoisseurs seeking wide horizons without haste, it's the Speedmaster. And for all those who have both, the common denominator has finally been found.

superior torque curve

very low seat height with a lot of confidence

unobtrusive, effective electronics

high-quality feel of controls

stable, relaxed suspension on the country road

cruise control integrated in a practical manner

Limited maximum lean angle

bobber only suitable for two riders to a limited extent

bobber comfort limited on long days
