Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer 2022

With the slimmer Tiger 1200, Triumph has now joined the ranks of the very best in the top enduro touring class. The Rally models also convince in practice with real off-road competence, the GT models with exemplary agility, both with power and sovereignty in every situation thanks to the three-cylinder engine full of character. It won't knock the BMW R1250 GS off its throne as the best-selling motorbike, but it certainly doesn't have to hide from it or other contenders. Our comparative tests will reveal whether it has what it takes to be the best "big adventure bike" of 2022. Especially since the cat of prey manages the balancing act between long-distance and off-road capability, which a touring enduro always has to master, really well, more in one direction or the other depending on the model choice.

Powerful engine

High-quality electronics package

Semi-active chassis regulates finely

Extensive standard equipment

Long-distance comfort

Excellent wind and weather protection

Agility

Better model spread between on- and off-road than the predecessor model.

Minor load change reactions on Explorer models

Blind Spot Assist not available on Pro models

High pillion seat restricts freedom of movement for sporty off-roading

Hyosung GV 125 S Aquila 2022

Hyosung GV 125 S Aquila 2022

If you like the look of big bobber bikes with powerful V2 engines, the Hyosung GV125 S Aquila is an interesting 125cc alternative. The look is really successful, the proportions are right and the Bonsai V2 is a real V2! However, the engine does not stand out noticeably from the usual single-cylinder competition. This may also be due to the comparatively high weight. Nevertheless, the GV125 S Aquila is a very agile and, thanks to the comfortable seating position, also very easy to ride bobber. A real recommendation for novice riders with an A1/B111/B196 licence.

Gorgeous bobber look

a real V2 engine

very comfortable seating position

low saddle height

very manoeuvrable despite higher weight

CBS brake as a safety feature

Engine rather unspectacular

CBS takes some getting used to
