Pros and Cons in comparison

Royal Enfield Himalayan 2024

The new Royal Enfield Himalayan is a great evolution of the original concept. It is still not about performance or sportiness, but about accessibility and adventure suitability. Royal Enfield has made significant improvements in the most important areas, such as the brakes and suspension, 40 Horsepower makes it more fun and practical than ever and even includes unexpected features such as the TripperDash with 3D Google Maps navigation. If you can distance yourself from the performance mania of western touring enduros, you will find the Himalayan a nimble, accessible and fun bike for adventures big and small.

Cleanly responsive engine with enough power for motorway stages and riding pleasure

Very well tuned suspension

Good brakes at last

Modern navigation thanks to TripperDash

Exceptionally successful ergonomics when standing and sitting

Fairly high payload

Good features for the price

Very long range

Unrivalled value for money

Navigation drains smartphone battery

Wind protection with standard windscreen rather limited

Yamaha Tenere 700 Explore Edition 2024

The addition of the Ténéré Explore to the model family makes the adventure bike with cult status accessible to a whole new interest group. The shorter travel compared to the other Ténéré 700 models lowers the seat height to 860 millimetres. This results in a more secure stance both off-road and in urban environments. The Explore is made for Ténéré fans who are mainly travelling on asphalt roads.

Quickshifter (Up) on board as standard

pannier rack included ex works

accessible for smaller Ténéré fans, comfort on longer tours

Less travel for off-road

Quickshifter (Down) not yet possible due to missing Ride-by-Wire
