Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Adventure 2019

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped

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
