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.
Suzuki GSR 750 2014
A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.
