Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour 2024

In numerous tests, the Multistrada has had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and has usually been the fastest and overall best motorbike. With the V4 S Grand Tour, Ducati now packs all the high-tech features as standard and adds sensible upgrades to the model in terms of temperature management. A touring enduro can't get much better - and not much more expensive either.

Unbelievably great handling - neutral, harmonious, manageable but still stable

Real touring enduro feeling in the saddle

Great brakes

Fascinating, impressively powerful engine

Engine power wonderfully controllable thanks to terrific response

Pleasant seating position

Good ergonomics even when riding standing up

Fascinating radar system, which is a pleasure to use in practice on the motorway

Great wind protection

High stability even at high speeds

Power-saving and

Above-average consumption

smartphone connectivity not perfect

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer 2022

With the slimmer Tiger 1200, Triumph has now joined the ranks of the very best in the top enduro touring class. The Rally models also convince in practice with real off-road competence, the GT models with exemplary agility, both with power and sovereignty in every situation thanks to the three-cylinder engine full of character. It won't knock the BMW R1250 GS off its throne as the best-selling motorbike, but it certainly doesn't have to hide from it or other contenders. Our comparative tests will reveal whether it has what it takes to be the best "big adventure bike" of 2022. Especially since the cat of prey manages the balancing act between long-distance and off-road capability, which a touring enduro always has to master, really well, more in one direction or the other depending on the model choice.

Powerful engine

High-quality electronics package

Semi-active chassis regulates finely

Extensive standard equipment

Long-distance comfort

Excellent wind and weather protection

Agility

Better model spread between on- and off-road than the predecessor model.

Minor load change reactions on Explorer models

Blind Spot Assist not available on Pro models

High pillion seat restricts freedom of movement for sporty off-roading
