Technical Specifications BMW R 1200 GS 2010 compared to Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2010
A GS Adventure has practically everything you need for the big trip. But firstly, Touratech manufactures some parts for BMW anyway and secondly, it doesn't stop with the optional extras offered by the Bavarians.
Triumph Tiger 800 XCA 2019
The best Tiger 800 ever - because while the new Tiger 800 XCa can boast a special Offroad Pro mode and a superb standing position off-road, it doesn't mess around on paved roads either: superb seating position, the same manoeuvrability as the more road-oriented Tiger 800 XRt thanks to wider handlebars and even more lean angle clearance thanks to the longer suspension travel. You don't have to do without comfort despite serious off-road capabilities and sporty rideability; colour TFT display, height-adjustable windshield, heated grips and seats as well as full LED lighting are not even available at extra cost from other manufacturers in the mid-range touring enduro class, but are standard on Triumph's top model.
