Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2023

Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally 2023

That the Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally generally prefers the road to tough off-road terrain was already clear from the outset when we looked at the data sheet. That it nevertheless doesn't shy away from any adventure was also clear. But all the test riders were surprised and impressed by how confidently it copes with demanding passages. Despite 19-inch wheels and a lot of mass, it can do more than just gravel roads. Above all, the good electronics and the finely controllable engine make it manageable off-road. The natural limits of the off-road rumbler only become noticeable at high speeds due to the sagging suspension elements or in very rough trial passages due to the dwindling stability of the front wheel. If you can't forgive a touring enduro of this dimension, you're looking in the wrong segment.

Very potent, yet finely controllable V4 engine

Surprisingly easy to handle for the high weight

Powerful, yet sensitive brakes

Very responsive semi-active chassis

Extensive electronics package

Good ergonomics, even in standing off-road use

Cruise control with radar system

Good wind protection

Chassis could do with more rebound in rough, undulating terrain

High price

Above-average fuel consumption

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally PRO 2022

The Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro is a true touring enduro and has a lot to offer. A comfortable, relaxed riding position, good wind protection, ample equipment and real travel suitability. Unlike the competition in the upper class of adventure bikes, however, it unfortunately lacks that certain "wow factor", that unique selling point that BMW GS, Ducati Multistrada V4 or KTM Super Adventure can boast. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro has no remarkable smoothness, no extremely agile handling or brute engine, but it is well-balanced. However, there is still room for improvement in some areas, especially in the smoothness in the lower rev range. However, the basis is good and well-balanced, and the fine-tuning will hopefully come in the following model years.

Pleasant, relaxed ergonomics

Good wind protection

State-of-the-art electronics

Extensive equipment

Very powerful brakes

Finely responsive, semi-active chassis

Ok range

Quick-shifting quickshifter

Engine does not run quite cleanly below 3000 revs

Large TFT display could be better used

Load change reactions at low revs

Very high for short-legged pilots
