Triumph Tiger 800 XC Special 2014
The Tiger 800 XC already draws attention to this in its name: the large and narrow tyres, the long suspension travel and the upright seating position certainly allow for off-road excursions. In addition, the 800 XC is extremely manoeuvrable, making it a lot of fun even in tight corners. The power output of 95 hp is easily sufficient for this, and the typical characteristics such as the muffled sound and the powerful mid-torque are also very noticeable. The brakes are pleasantly soft for gravel and off-road use, but also seem somewhat toothless on the road.
Triumph Speed Triple R 2015
The Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than one or two extra horsepower.
