Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger 800 XRx 2015
The Tiger 800 XRx is an absolutely faithful companion on all paths - and off-roads. The close relationship to its sister Tiger 800 XCx gives it a very robust and off-road capable chassis, the engine pulls up smoothly even from far below and therefore does not cause any stress even at walking pace. The XRx is designed more for road use only with the smaller 19 inch tyres at the front and 17 inch tyres at the rear. I didn't ride it as the only tester over the season, which means that several pilots used it in different ways and therefore also challenged it. That is basically quite a challenge, because the driving style of each individual rider is different. And that's where it showed again that the Triumph Tiger 800 XRx is an excellent all-rounder.
Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS 2013
The new touring enduro from Aprilia rides well, but nowhere better than a competitor. In bends, however, the damping proves to be a little too soft. The nimble appearance is somewhat deceptive - the Aprilia is a very comfortable touring bike.
