Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 850 GS 2018

You might not see it at first glance on the new BMW F 850 GS, but it really is a completely new design. Both the steel chassis and the drivetrain have been changed, the engine enlarged to 853 cubic capacity and designed to be even more powerful with the 90-degree crankpin offset. As a result, the new F 850 GS presents itself more sovereign than excited and is convincing both on the road and off-road. The very special thing about the BMW is the ability to tailor it exactly to your personal needs thanks to the extensive range of accessories - there is actually no feature currently available that you can't get on your F 850 GS. However, this also drives up the price.

adequate braking system

very good seating position

Disc too low

sound could be better

Triumph Tiger 800 XCx 2015

The Tiger 800 XCx appears to be just the right size as a universal talent. The engine is definitely the cream of the crop. It is lively, rev-happy, powerful and sounds a little daring. Nevertheless, it is always comfortable and easy to ride. The rest of the bike seems to be on a par.

great engine that is practical in everyday life but also a lot of fun

easy to drive yet never boring

Individual details seem a touch too cheap
