Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2026

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE combines strong character with real versatility. It looks great, sounds fantastic, convinces on the road and gravel, but demands respect in handling and behaviour. Not an all-rounder for everyone, but a special niche bike with a lot of personality and a not inconsiderable price.

superb engine

beautiful to look at

full electronics package that can be completely deactivated if required

sublime riding experience, good bike for tall people

customisable ergonomics

pleasingly low fuel consumption and emissions

sound as bassy as ever

Exhaust heat still noticeable

original equipment tyres not up to standard

high centre of gravity

limited steering angle

sluggish direction changes

limited ergonomics when standing

sensitive in the event of a rollover

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2026

The numerous changes have paid off, the Ducati Multistrada V2 S in model year 2025 is better than ever! The rough behaviour at low revs is a thing of the past and the transmission now works much better. If you are looking for the ultimate compromise between sportiness and suitability for travelling, the "small" Multistrada is a damn good choice!

fun engine with manners on the bottom end

well-modulated front brake

great suspension

extremely light

incredible agility

exemplary stability

very good wind protection for the head

unsightly processing details

dosage of the rear brake not perfect
