Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2024

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2024

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S impresses with its sporty DNA, state-of-the-art technology and agile riding performance. It is the first choice for dynamic riders who value performance and precision when travelling. Despite its lower weight, it impresses with its high stability and comprehensive electronics package. Minor weaknesses such as the limited comfort at lower speeds or the somewhat clunky quickshifter in tight hairpins hardly spoil the positive overall picture.

Versatile, semi-active suspension

well-modulated brakes

sporty yet comfortable riding position

well suited for smaller riders

extensive standard equipment comfortable for pillion riders

sporty, revvy engine with typical Ducati character

light weight of only 225 kg - ideal for sporty handling

extensive electronics package including cornering ABS, traction control and quickshifter

narrow waist, optimum ergonomics for smaller riders

Torque somewhat restrained at low revs

quickshifter not always liquid at low speeds

seat comfort on long lengths less pronounced than on touring-orientated competitors

BMW F 450 GS 2026

BMW F 450 GS 2026

With the F 450 GS, BMW has made a convincing entry into the highly competitive A2 enduro bike segment. The 420 cubic centimetre two-cylinder engine impresses with its smooth running and linear power delivery, where single-cylinder competitors annoy with raw vibrations. The suspension shines with sporty agility and enduro bike comfort in equal measure, while the electronics work discreetly in the background. The Bavarian shows weaknesses when it comes to the accessibility for short fingers on the brakes and clutch lever and the lack of cruise control. Anyone looking for a versatile, high-quality enduro bike for an A2 licence and beyond will find a coherent overall package in the F 450 GS. The Easy Ride clutch rides amazingly well and offers comfort and safety in equal measure. Less experienced riders in particular benefit significantly here, which is a unique selling point in this segment!

Easy Ride clutch

Standard equipment with heated grips, ABS Pro and much more Operability

Smooth running

Lever too far away for small fingers no cruise control available
