Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB500X 2021

Honda's A2 all-rounder has evolved positively! Components such as brakes and chassis have been noticeably upgraded, while the new paintwork and headlight signature also make a clear statement about the 2022 vintage. Get on and go is the motto here, because thanks to the easy handling and accessible ergonomics, you feel comfortable on this 48 hp touring enduro after just a few metres. Young or old - the CB500X has a place for everyone!

Triumph Scrambler 400 X 2025

If you like a cool scrambler look but need to stay in the A2-compatible range when it comes to the engine, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is a really smart choice. The 400cc engine has a nice torque in the mid-range; it doesn't really wind out a gear. The riding position is upright, the suspension is comfortable yet stable. The Scrambler 400 X can therefore also be ridden in a sporty manner, although the front brakes require too much manual force when ridden with vigour. On the other hand, the features are generous with the many off-road orientated attachments and put the higher price into perspective compared to the naked Speed 400 sister.

high-quality modern-classic look

good price

engine with strong centre

responsive suspension

good, model-matched tyres

Weak brakes at the front
