These are the best affordable entry-level touring enduros 2025

The 1000PS editorial team has already tested numerous models this year and has now selected its favorites. These 10 affordable touring enduros were the most convincing.

The touring enduro segment is now so complex and diverse that there is now also a decent, broad selection of entry-level touring enduros available. What do we count as an "affordable entry-level touring enduro"? A new price of less than €10,000 and a maximum of 75 hp were the prerequisites here. Although the V-Strom 650 with its Austrian list price is just above this limit, it is now available at promotional prices almost all the time. We also defined the term enduro a little more broadly to include the Kawasaki Versys 650 despite its 17-inch tires. In terms of its character, handling and price, it fits in much better with the entry-level touring enduros than with the crossover bikes. However, it should be noted that all motorcycles also compete in several categories and are also in the running for the top awards.
