Ducati Scrambler Icon 2022
While the many different motorbike genres are becoming increasingly blurred and overlapping, the Ducati Scrambler Icon is indeed the uncomplicated and robust scrambler promised in its name. The wide handlebars make for unbelievably easy handling, so it's easy to forgive the fact that the comfort-oriented chassis has no adjustable fork, while the shock absorber can at least be adjusted in rebound and spring preload. You also forgive the fact that the front single disc needs quite a bit of manual force; after all, it is very commendable that a cornering ABS is fitted as standard. The rest of the equipment, however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments. All in all, however, the Scrambler Icon convinces above all with its successful appearance, which conveys what it's all about even when stationary: lifestyle instead of riding style!
BMW F 450 GS 2026

With the F 450 GS, BMW has made a convincing entry into the highly competitive A2 enduro bike segment. The 420 cubic centimetre two-cylinder engine impresses with its smooth running and linear power delivery, where single-cylinder competitors annoy with raw vibrations. The suspension shines with sporty agility and enduro bike comfort in equal measure, while the electronics work discreetly in the background. The Bavarian shows weaknesses when it comes to the accessibility for short fingers on the brakes and clutch lever and the lack of cruise control. Anyone looking for a versatile, high-quality enduro bike for an A2 licence and beyond will find a coherent overall package in the F 450 GS. The Easy Ride clutch rides amazingly well and offers comfort and safety in equal measure. Less experienced riders in particular benefit significantly here, which is a unique selling point in this segment!
