Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2022

In numerous tests, the Multistrada had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. Logically enough - it is also the most expensive motorbike in this class. The Ducati crew has poured all the high-quality ingredients into the motorbike that money can buy. These have been combined to create a harmonious overall package that rides incredibly well. A worthy winner of various comparative tests at a proud price.

Incredibly great handling - neutral, harmonious, easy to handle but still stable

Real enduro feeling in the saddle

Great brakes

Fascinating, impressively powerful engine

Engine power is wonderfully controllable thanks to great response behaviour

Comfortable seating position

Good ergonomics even when standing up

Fascinating radar system, which you like to use in practice on the motorway

Great wind protection

High stability even at high speeds

Power-saving and easy to ride

Above-average consumption

mobile phone connectivity not really thought through to the end

Triumph Tiger Explorer 2012

The Tiger Explorer could also come from Bavaria. Only with cast wheels instead of wire spokes do the English go their "own way", which is clearly more over asphalt than over gravel. Apart from that, it has to be said that the engine is convincing, the brakes less so.

Optimal wind protection

pleasant seating position

comfortable saddle

superior engine.

High weight

nervous traction point

relatively weak braking system.
