Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 2013

Triumph Tiger Sport 2013

The Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 is an extremely versatile bike. The ergonomics are in the sweet spot between sporty and touring and the suspension also manages this balancing act very well. The star and number one source of joy is definitely the powerful three-cylinder engine, which in this first generation of the Tiger Sport without an electronic safety net definitely demands an experienced or cautious touch on the throttle. It performs very well in all disciplines. It is in touring mode that it loses the most due to the lack of all comfort features. If you want something like this, you have to reach for Tiger Sport models from 2016 onwards.

Even a Super Duke is in a tight spot when the bends are not too sharp and the KTM can make full use of its radical handling and its unrivalled ability to correct the radius on naked bikes. The Speed Triple is more harmonious, patient and predictable. The Duke has to be beaten, the Triple can also be stroked.

Controlled chassis

hard sound

stable.

Rough gearing sometimes disturbs the idyll between man and machine.
