Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS drawing on a wealth of experience and expertise, which is evident in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders, offering an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs equally well both off-road and on the road.

Powerful engine with very sporty responsiveness

Excellent traction

Very stable riding performance – yet the bike remains agile and a joy to ride through bends

Hand guards provide good wind protection

With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before

Well-integrated radar cruise control

Intuitive control layout

Easy-to-read display

A wide range of options for ergonomics adjustment

A superbly functioning and discreetly integrated emergency call system

Excellent balance under varying load conditions

Not every desired configuration is possible – in some cases, you have to select unnecessary extras as well

The suspension performs well – but it doesn’t offer truly flawless responsiveness, nor does it have a particularly wide range of adjustment

Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday conditions

For taller riders, the bike feels a little too compact for an adventure bike, particularly from the rear

The side panels are prone to scratches on rough off-road terrain and when worn with heavy-duty boots

Hand guards with integrated indicators are not suitable for off-road use

Voge Valico 900i DSX 2024

The Voge DS900X is a remarkably well-equipped machine that impresses in many areas, especially considering its price of less than 10,000 CHF/Euro. Despite some compromises in the quality of detail, such as the simple design of the logo and the somewhat hard indicator button, the DS900X offers solid features including modern safety features and comfort elements. The use of renowned brand parts for brakes, suspension and electronics sets it apart from other budget bikes. In addition, its power limit of 95 Horsepower makes it accessible to holders of an A2 driving licence, which makes it particularly attractive for novice riders. Overall, the Voge DS900X offers excellent value for money and could be an interesting option for many beginners as well as price-conscious riders.

Huge range of features included as standard

Attractive price

High-quality parts in terms of engine, suspension and brakes

A2 can be throttled

Attractive design with plenty of comfort

Connectivity and USB C charging socket

No cornering ABS

Some careless design choices in details

Ill-considered positioning of the centre stand

Nervous throttle response at low revs
