These are the best top-class touring enduros 2026

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

After the entry-level touring enduros, mid-range touring enduros and off-road touring enduros, there is also the upper class, which includes all new adventure bikes with power outputs of up to 170 hp. The top-of-the-range touring enduros offer a combination of performance, comfort and advanced riding aids. They feature modern assistance systems such as cornering ABS, traction control and often semi-active suspension. Many models offer adjustable seat heights and windshields as well as heated grips for additional comfort. The motorcycles are suitable for both long tours and off-road adventures, thanks to long suspension travel, robust designs and large tanks for extended rides. Which of the adventurous upper-class touring enduros, which cost at least 18,000 euros in Germany, were able to put the biggest grin on the faces of the 1000PS testers?

The jury, made up of respected experts with different areas of expertise, carefully evaluated each motorcycle based on criteria such as innovation, performance and design. With a wealth of experience and a keen eye for detail, they have selected the motorcycles that stand for excellence in their respective categories. The jury is made up of former racers, experienced motorcycle testers, men and women, in short, respected experts who all know their field inside out. Their collective knowledge and rigorous assessment ensure that only the most deserving candidates are honored with this prestigious award.
