Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1250 GS 2022

The BMW R 1250 GS presents itself as a very complete motorbike even in 2022. Confident and well-balanced, it convinces on intensive rides. The motorbike scores points with its wonderful engine, great ergonomics and practical riding aids including great app integration. However, in direct comparison with other touring enduros in the top league, it is now showing its first weaknesses in terms of equipment and the components installed. However, the 136 hp from the boxer engine is convincing in every situation.

Extremely torquey boxer engine

Comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

Great app integration

Sophisticated operating concept

Great ergonomics

Many customisation options

Great handling with strong confidence in the front

Easy driveability.

Shifting is awkward at low revs

seat too lax

brakes and suspension no longer on a par with the strong competition.

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2024

The Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro impresses as a versatile all-rounder that cuts a fine figure both on the road and off-road. Its comfort features and balanced suspension offer amateur riders a pleasant experience, although it does not reach the top in extreme off-road situations. The Tiger impresses with its elastic three-cylinder engine and solid features, although the slow menu start is a little annoying. Overall, it is a universal bike that offers a successful compromise between touring, sportiness and off-road performance.

All-round talent

elastic engine

good comfortable suspension

good ergonomics

understandable menu navigation

Suspension too spongy for pure off-road use

therefore too little feedback at a fast pace

sluggishness when "raising" the display
