Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2015

The new edition of the Tiger 800 XC can be considered quite successful. Even the "conventional" version can do much more than its predecessor thanks to the ride-by-wire system and standard traction control and ABS (both can be switched off). However, if you want to venture off-road more often, which is definitely what the designers had in mind thanks to the large wheels and spoke rims, you should choose the Tiger 800 XCx, which costs just under 1000 euros more. Thanks to the freely selectable riding modes, the x-version can be optimally tuned to the respective terrain. In addition, there is an engine guard, self-resetting turn signals, cruise control, main stand, underride protection, an additional 12V socket and hand protectors - which probably more than justifies the extra charge.

Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.
