Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2024
The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is still a wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine. It reminds us why we love motorbikes. It provides great moments in the saddle that make you forget practical disadvantages. The Marzocchi suspension elements installed since 2024 work incredibly well and, in conjunction with the Brembo Stylema system, make the XE a factor not to be underestimated in the country road duel. Off-road, it is unrivalled in this class anyway. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.
KTM 300 EXC 2015
The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. Professionals have said that the 300 is actually too powerful for them. For me, however, it is THE 2-stroke recommendation, especially for hobby riders. With the map selector, you can choose the "mild" mapping here and also fall back on the weaker spring for the exhaust control. In practice, you can ride it in a gear higher than the 250 and it becomes quite tame. The new balancer shaft offers a big plus in ride comfort: significantly less vibration!
