Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2021

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2021

Satisfaction quickly spreads in the saddle of the Tiger. The machine offers an enormously wide range of uses and an over-complete set of features for this class. A really good touring enduro! However, the long suspension travel is a bit of a downfall for sporty riding. At the end of the day, however, this is the only compromise of this otherwise thoroughly successful machine.

Three-cylinder engine full of character

practical off-road performance

comfortable suspension elements

quickshifter with blipper as standard

generous standard equipment, even heated seats for rider and pillion

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability.

Handguards for off-road use not very robust

flood of switches on the left handlebar

overall large and ponderous appearance

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2022

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2022

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT

touch-screen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

windshield with good adjustment range

semi-active suspension close to perfection.

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

handguards not very robust for off-road use
