Triumph Street Scrambler 2018

Triumph Street Scrambler 2018

Just like its sister Street Twin, the Street Scrambler also receives decisive updates to the engine, chassis, brakes and ergonomics. And even though the greatly increased power has a positive effect, the bulbous torque is almost more pleasing. The chassis is of a very high quality, offering a lot of comfort and stability. A small drawback of the Street Scrambler are the footrests that touch down early. On the other hand, the look is perfect. If you love scramblers, you will like the side-mounted exhaust system, the wide fork and the overall higher-quality finish.

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2017

Still sensational. It scores with the familiar Honda virtues, but never gets stale. A motorbike that goes with you through thick and thin and doesn't tire even on extra-long tours. Very robust off-road, also copes with really tough passages without any problems. Still the benchmark for touring enduros in 2017.

Comfortable but not boring

Pleasant and perfectly dimensioned engine

Seat height a tad lower than on the KTM- from 175cm height it could work

Suspension elements do everything off-road, but are too comfortably tuned at high speeds

traction control is annoying off-road - always has to be readjusted after every short break.
