Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Explorer 2012

The Tiger Explorer could also come from Bavaria. Only with cast wheels instead of wire spokes do the English go their "own way", which is clearly more over asphalt than over gravel. Apart from that, it has to be said that the engine is convincing, the brakes less so.

Optimal wind protection

pleasant seating position

comfortable saddle

superior engine.

High weight

nervous traction point

relatively weak braking system.
