Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2021

Satisfaction quickly spreads in the saddle of the Tiger. The machine offers an enormously wide range of uses and an over-complete set of features for this class. A really good touring enduro! However, the long suspension travel is a bit of a downfall for sporty riding. At the end of the day, however, this is the only compromise of this otherwise thoroughly successful machine.

Three-cylinder engine full of character

practical off-road performance

comfortable suspension elements

quickshifter with blipper as standard

generous standard equipment, even heated seats for rider and pillion

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability.

Handguards for off-road use not very robust

flood of switches on the left handlebar

overall large and ponderous appearance

BMW F 900 GS 2024

The F 900 GS feels completely different to its direct predecessor, the F 850 GS. Instead of a sedate all-rounder, with the Enduro Pro package it has become an agile adventure bike with considerable off-road capabilities. Uncomplicated yet powerful, it can be ridden on and off the beaten track. However, it only really comes into its own with a few accessories. The Enduro Pro package and Dynamic package are almost mandatory purchases, which also pushes the price up. All in all, a remarkable reorientation of BMW's in-line two-cylinder enduro bike.

Linear, fun motor

Suitably dimensioned brakes

Super responsive, optional suspension

Optional enduro bike pro mode offers versatile configuration options

Successful ergonomics for seated and standing riding

Pleasant handling

Good quickshifter

Sophisticated off-road solutions, such as folding foot brake lever riser

Accessible, comfortable and cool - a great combination

Wind protection could be better

Only tubeless rims available

Standard suspension not good enough off-road
