It's a new bike with a new engine and lest you think they just bored and stroked the 800 engine, this new engine has a different crank configuration and new firing order. My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton, says, “Kudos to Triumph for getting rid of the confusing naming conventions in the old Tigers: XC, XR, XRx, XCa, XRt, etc. More and more, this looks like the emerging commuter trend of the decade.” She Said “Just when I thought we had enough street-savvy ADV bikes on the market, Triumph says “Hold my beer and watch this.” This 900 series replaces the 800 to deliver more of what everyone loved about the outgoing model. Read our full review of the Ducati Multistrada 950 / 950 S. Ducati lists the Multistrada 950 S for $16,995, and that's a difference of a pretty big chunk of change at our guess of $14,300 for the Tiger. The advantages that the Multistrada brings to the table come at a price. Power takes a jump with 113 ponies against the Trumpet's 93.9 horsepower, as does torque with 71 pound-feet from the Duc against the 64 pound-foot British triple. At the end of the day, it's pretty much a wash so far.ĭucati packs in a few extra cubes with a total of 937 cc in its V-twin. Bosch provides the cornering ABS that is followed by traction/cruise/hill-hold control and quick shifter, plus for extra safety at night, a cornering light feature illuminates the way ahead for better situational awareness. Ducati Multistrada 950 Sĭon't get me wrong, the Duc isn't what you'd call a “girl's bike” by any means, just that it has a very sensual nature.ĭucati's own Skyhook Suspension system delivers electronic suspension control front and back for a clear advantage in the stems. Nothing but the most serious of competitors would do for Triumph's flagship Tiger 900 GT Pro, so I headed straight over to Ducati for its equivalent machine, the Multistrada 950 S.
