Technical Specifications Suzuki V-Strom 650 2017 compared to Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki V-Strom 650 2017
The small V-Strom 650 is not only visually close to the big V-Strom 1000 with its pronounced duckbill, stacked headlights and extensive instruments. The equipment does not correspond at all to what is understood by "cheap entry": traction control, lively Euro4 engine, harmonious handling and additional techno-gadgets such as Low RPM Assist or Suzuki Easy Start System. To the delight of the customers, the price is kept within reasonable limits.
Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019
The best Tiger 800 ever - because while the new Tiger 800 XCa can boast a special Offroad Pro mode and a superb standing position off-road, it doesn't mess around on paved roads either: superb seating position, the same manoeuvrability as the more road-oriented Tiger 800 XRt thanks to wider handlebars and even more lean angle clearance thanks to the longer suspension travel. You don't have to do without comfort despite serious off-road capabilities and sporty rideability; colour TFT display, height-adjustable windshield, heated grips and seats as well as full LED lighting are not even available at extra cost from other manufacturers in the mid-range touring enduro class, but are standard on Triumph's top model.
