Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1300 GS 2025

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

Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness

Very good traction

Stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly

Handguards offer good wind protection

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

Well-integrated radar cruise control

Comprehensible operating concept

easy-to-read display

wide range of ergonomics customisation options

Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system

Very good balance with different load conditions

A more dynamic reorientation of the boxer engine costs it the previously typical boxer invincibility when accelerating from low revs

Not every desired configuration is possible - sometimes unnecessary extras have to be selected

Suspension works at a good level - however, a truly flawless reponsiveness is not offered, nor is a really wide adjustment range

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

ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding

Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches in raw off-road conditions and when used with rough boots

Handguards with integrated indicators not suitable for off-road use

Mirrors with integrated blind spot warning system and exposed wiring unsuitable for off-road use

Despite the high price level of the GS, the quality of some components, such as the plastic gear lever, leaves a lot to be desired

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2025

The Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro impresses as a versatile all-rounder that cuts a fine figure both on the road and off-road. Its comfort features and balanced suspension offer amateur riders a pleasant experience, although it does not reach the top in extreme off-road situations. The Tiger impresses with its elastic three-cylinder engine and solid features, although the slow menu start is a little annoying. Overall, it is a universal bike that offers a successful compromise between touring, sportiness and off-road performance.

All-round talent

elastic engine

good comfortable suspension

good ergonomics

understandable menu navigation

Suspension too spongy for pure off-road use

therefore too little feedback at a fast pace

sluggishness when "raising" the display
