Compared to the sporty single-cylinder competition from KTM or Husqvarna, which you first have to make suitable for touring with a windshield, larger tank, etc., the Twin offers a smoother ride and thus better long-distance capability, and compared to most two-cylinder competitors, with the exception of KTM's 890 Adventure R, it offers more off-road capability. In any case, the Tenere 700 has become a real enrichment for the touring enduro segment, so it was worth the wait.

Satisfaction quickly spreads in the saddle of the Tiger. The machine offers an enormously wide range of uses and an over-complete set of features for this class. A really good touring enduro! However, the long suspension travel is a bit of a downfall for sporty riding. At the end of the day, however, this is the only compromise of this otherwise thoroughly successful machine.
