Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 GS 2016
Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no conjunto geral da GS e apenas diminui ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.
Triumph Tiger Explorer XRT 2016
O segmento dos enduros de turismo tornou-se muito mais suave em termos de motores - para além dos típicos motores de dois cilindros, existem também motores de quatro cilindros em forma de R e V e a Triumph tem agora de partilhar o ponto de venda único do motor de três cilindros em linha com dois outros fabricantes (MV Agusta Turismo Veloce e Yamaha Tracer 900). Na Tiger Explorer XRt, o grande motor de três cilindros com 1215 cilindradas é muito potente, mas consistentemente refinado. O som já transmite a ideia de que algo diferente está a chegar e, com 140 cv, a grande Tiger não é, de forma alguma, pouco potente. E graças à boa capacidade de resposta, as curvas apertadas não são um problema, apesar do peso impressionante. Em termos de conforto, a versão XRt, excelentemente equipada, é irrepreensível; até um para-brisas com regulação eléctrica em altura está disponível.
