Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2023

The new generation 900 Tiger - the Rally Pro model with impressive capabilities on and off the road. While it scores points on the road thanks to its high seating position and comfortable ergonomics, it is very stable and confidence-inspiring off-road. Thanks to its smooth throttle response and fine mechanical setup, it can turn into corners very precisely.

Very good basic stability off-road

Pleasant handlebar for comfortable standing on the bike

High seating position for long rides with comfortable knee position

Engine protection and lower crash bars included as standard

Very smooth throttle response

Good smoothness thanks to handlebar damping

Easily accessible bike

Good compromise between smoothness and sportiness

ABS of the rear brake is completely switched off in offroad mode, no offroad ABS available

Strongly road-orientated standard tyres on the Rally Pro

Adventure footrests not included as standard

Kawasaki Versys 1000 2012

With no other Bigenduro can you ride so hard on the knee and therefore end up way ahead on the grid. If you often feel attacked on your holiday trip, you should fight back with the Versys 1000. Which proves that big enduros and four-cylinders do get along.

Silky running powerplant

sporty, comfortable chassis

efficient wind protection

cushioned seat.

Slight tipping in curves takes some getting used to

arguable design
