Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro 2024

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

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
