Caractéristiques techniques BMW R 1200 GS 2016 par rapport à Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2016
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
BMW R 1200 GS 2016
Une GS est à l'aise presque partout - mais sur la piste de course, elle ne l'est que dans une certaine mesure. C'est un plaisir de ressentir la puissance du bicylindre boxer partiellement refroidi par eau à la sortie des virages - 125 ch ne semblent que sur le papier beaucoup plus faibles que 150 ou même 160 ch chez la concurrence. Avec un couple de 125 Newton-mètres, l'attaque par le bas est de toute façon magnifique et la GS, avec ses 238 kilos prête à rouler, ne traîne pas trop de poids malgré son allure imposante. Dans les virages très serrés, le centre de gravité bas a un effet positif - la BMW R 1200 GS est très difficile à casser ! Même la suspension avant Telelever, qui supprime le tangage de la roue avant lors du freinage, s'adapte parfaitement à l'ensemble de la GS et ne peut que légèrement atténuer son caractère sportif.
Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2016
Le segment des motos de tourisme s'est considérablement assoupli en matière de motorisation - à côté des deux cylindres typiques, il existe déjà des quatre cylindres en forme de R et de V, et Triumph doit désormais partager la caractéristique unique du trois cylindres en ligne avec deux autres constructeurs (MV Agusta Turismo Veloce et Yamaha Tracer 900). Sur la Tiger Explorer XRt, le gros moteur trois cylindres de 1215 centimètres cubes est en tout cas très puissant, tout en étant très cultivé. La sonorité déjà fait comprendre qu'il y a quelque chose d'autre qui arrive et avec 140 CV, la grande tigresse n'est pas du tout sous-motorisée. Et grâce à la bonne réactivité, les virages serrés ne posent aucun problème malgré le poids imposant. En ce qui concerne le confort, on ne peut rien reprocher à la version XRt, qui est très bien équipée et qui dispose même d'un pare-brise réglable en hauteur électriquement.
