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 Explorer 2022

Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer 2022

With the slimmer Tiger 1200, Triumph has now joined the ranks of the very best in the top enduro touring class. The Rally models also convince in practice with real off-road competence, the GT models with exemplary agility, both with power and sovereignty in every situation thanks to the three-cylinder engine full of character. It won't knock the BMW R1250 GS off its throne as the best-selling motorbike, but it certainly doesn't have to hide from it or other contenders. Our comparative tests will reveal whether it has what it takes to be the best "big adventure bike" of 2022. Especially since the cat of prey manages the balancing act between long-distance and off-road capability, which a touring enduro always has to master, really well, more in one direction or the other depending on the model choice.

Powerful engine

High-quality electronics package

Semi-active chassis regulates finely

Extensive standard equipment

Long-distance comfort

Excellent wind and weather protection

Agility

Better model spread between on- and off-road than the predecessor model.

Minor load change reactions on Explorer models

Blind Spot Assist not available on Pro models

High pillion seat restricts freedom of movement for sporty off-roading
