Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2016

The Aprilia Caponord 1200 is therefore a thoroughly modern and practical motorbike that makes travelling on the big enduro easier, better and safer with numerous (sophisticated) electronic features. The engine, too, with its 125 hp, is and remains a powerful companion that is particularly impressive with its throaty V2 sound and good power. You have to like the comfortable chassis; while fans of the hardcore league will turn up their noses, everyone else will enjoy the ingenious active chassis that irons out even the roughest knocks.

Triumph Tiger Sport 2015

Triumph Tiger Sport 2015

The Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 is an extremely versatile bike. The ergonomics are in the sweet spot between sporty and touring and the suspension also manages this balancing act very well. The star and number one source of joy is definitely the powerful three-cylinder engine, which in this first generation of the Tiger Sport without an electronic safety net definitely demands an experienced or cautious touch on the throttle. It performs very well in all disciplines. It is in touring mode that it loses the most due to the lack of all comfort features. If you want something like this, you have to reach for Tiger Sport models from 2016 onwards.

Powerful, high-torque three-cylinder engine

Balanced suspension

Sporty, but not extreme riding position

Nice, not too intrusive engine sound

Sportiness and comfort given

Clean transmission

Reliable technology

Favourable purchase price compared to later, better equipped Tiger Sport models

Spartan features

non-adjustable windscreen - helmet stands in the wind

quite aggressive throttle response and no traction control are a stressful combination in adverse road conditions
