These are the best touring enduros for off-road riding 2026

The 1000PS editorial team has already tested numerous models this year and has now selected its favorites. These 10 touring enduros convinced us the most in loose terrain.

The 1000PS editorial team regularly evaluates motorcycles across a wide range of categories to identify the strongest and most appealing options in each segment. Adventure bikes are a particularly diverse group, covering everything from lightweight, accessible machines to large and powerful long-distance models. For this ranking, the focus is on motorcycles that combine touring capability with genuine off-road potential. The term is deliberately interpreted broadly, so the selection includes everything from compact and lightweight adventure bikes to large touring enduros, as well as more off-road-focused dual-sport machines with sufficient comfort and range for longer journeys. The aim is to compare motorcycles that may differ significantly in size, performance and concept, but ultimately compete for a similar purpose: travelling comfortably over long distances while remaining capable away from paved roads.

The jury, made up of respected experts with different areas of expertise, carefully evaluated each motorcycle based on criteria such as innovation, performance and design. With a wealth of experience and a keen eye for detail, they have selected the motorcycles that stand for excellence in their respective categories. The jury is made up of former racers, experienced motorcycle testers, men and women, in short, respected experts who all know their field inside out. Their collective knowledge and rigorous assessment ensure that only the most deserving candidates are honored with this prestigious award.
