Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda NC750X 2015
The NC750X actually has only one weakness: its strength. With 55 hp, the all-purpose motorbike is moderately powered, but Honda's product range is so broad and diverse that the NC group was deliberately positioned in this area. The NC750X makes up for a lot in torque, and those who like it sportier can upgrade to a Crossrunner or Crosstourer. The New Concept shines in its second generation with an even higher quality feel, better equipment, a taut fork and a total of 5 riding modes. The 3-stage sport mode makes it practically unnecessary to intervene in the shifting process yourself.
Triumph Tiger 800 XC 2016
The new edition of the Tiger 800 XC can be considered quite successful. Even the "conventional" version can do much more than its predecessor thanks to the ride-by-wire system and standard traction control and ABS (both can be switched off). However, if you want to venture off-road more often, which is definitely what the designers had in mind thanks to the large wheels and spoke rims, you should choose the Tiger 800 XCx, which costs just under 1000 euros more. Thanks to the freely selectable riding modes, the x-version can be optimally tuned to the respective terrain. In addition, there is an engine guard, self-resetting turn signals, cruise control, main stand, underride protection, an additional 12V socket and hand protectors - which probably more than justifies the extra charge.
