CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

The CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026 is a remarkably well-equipped adventure bike for budget-conscious touring riders. Its smooth-running in-line twin-cylinder engine, relaxed riding position, effective wind protection and enormous payload make long stages a breeze. It remains good-natured and predictable even on winding roads and simple gravel tracks. Yet, the affordable price is noticeable: the suspension provides less refined feedback, the ergonomics feel passive when riding sportily, and, above all, the traction control is rather coarse. Occasional quickshifter glitches and intense engine heat on the lower legs detract from the overall experience. However, for riders who prefer to cruise rather than ride at the limit, this is still an exceptional value for money.

Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2024

Suzuki V-Strom 1050DE 2024

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 range to include the DE model, Suzuki now has the right large V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will be staying almost exclusively on the road will find a reliable travelling companion in the standard model, but those who are less restricted in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find a good choice in the DE. The machine looks robust, is easy to ride and offers a high level of long-distance comfort. The weight is too high for very serious off-road use and the travel is too short. However, as with the standard model, the main selling point remains the marvellous engine, which leaves little to be desired with its rich torque.
