The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.

I like the Tiger 800 XC not only on the road for my daily commute to work. It is a very uncomplicated vehicle which, thanks to the powerful and lively engine, is not only very useful but also a lot of fun. On the racetrack, I actually only used the vehicle for my instructor work. But I couldn't help it and had to take to the track once in the faster group. The high-quality chassis and the agile engine were a joy to ride and the Tiger 800 XC is THE universal talent par excellence for me.

lively engine

sporty but comfortable chassis

very easy to handle

lots of practical benefits

great price/performance ratio

Spartan dashboards

on-board computer cannot be operated from the end of the handlebar
