Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada 1100 S 2009

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Triumph Tiger Sport 2013

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
