Soit c'était un coup de chance, soit les meilleurs concepteurs étaient à l'œuvre - guidon, géométrie, siège, angle du genou, repose-pieds - tout cela convient vraiment bien à la majorité des Européens centraux. Globalement, il n'y a toujours pas de moto qui puisse tuer la GS.
Triumph Tiger 800 XRx 2015
La Tiger 800 XRx est une compagne absolument fidèle sur tous les chemins - et les chemins de traverse. En effet, la parenté étroite avec sa sœur Tiger 800 XCx lui confère un châssis très robuste et adapté au tout-terrain, le moteur monte en puissance sans à-coups, même de très bas et ne stresse donc pas, même au pas. La XRx n'est plus adaptée à la route qu'avec les petits pneus de 19 pouces à l'avant et de 17 pouces à l'arrière. Je n'ai pas été le seul à la conduire pendant la saison, ce qui signifie que plusieurs pilotes l'ont utilisée de différentes manières et l'ont donc sollicitée. C'est un défi de taille, car la manière de conduire de chaque pilote est différente. Et c'est là que la Triumph Tiger 800 XRx s'est révélée être un excellent talent universel.
