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.

The Suzuki GSX-S125 feels more grown-up than the identically constructed GSX-R125. It is slightly wider around the tank and does not need a fairing for a maximum speed of about 120 km/h. Technically, it is identical to the GSX-R, but with higher and wider handlebars and thus a more upright position. Technically, it is identical to the GSX-R, but it is more fun with the higher and wider handlebars and the resulting more upright riding position. A wheelie is pretty easy to do, so you can do without a few km/h of top speed.
