- čas přidán 1. 10. 2020
- Two of the best adventure bikes on the market: the Honda CRF 11000L Africa Twin and the Triumph Tiger 900 in the Rally Pro version. Both of them new for 2020, with lots of updates: bigger and more powerful engine, more electronics, better handling. It’s one of the most anticipated reviews of the year, so we pot the dual sport tires on and hit the road to find out which one is the best. The Africa Twin or the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro.

God Bless you mate Cristian, R.I.P
What happened?
@@ClaesN1973 He passed away in an accident. Sadly.
@@alangioro I'm sorry to hear that :(
@@alangioro wait what?? Fricken hell, I’ve been watching these guys on and off for a while now. This is devastating to hear 😟 Wow…may he ride in peace ✌️
Such sad news. RIP Cristian and sincere condolences to his family and friends😢
I just rode 700 miles of dirt in Utah, Moab and the surrounding areas on my Rally Pro. Amongst our group we had a GSA, AT, a couple CRF450, a KTM 390 and a Triumph 800..... when we were blasting down a washboarded section I was relaxingly sitting in the saddle hauling ass on my 900RP. When we stopped they all asked me how in the hell I could do that and not get destroyed by the bumps being shoved up my back....my answer is because the RP suspension is so good you don’t even feel the bumps...it was an amazing ride. It’s not as capable on road as my wife’s 900 GTpro, but I get where I’m going with lots of energy to spare...then I hammer the dirt...
Honda Africa Twin the legend lives 👍😎
It is not legend
Well deserved award guys, you still produce the most professional videos, onwards and upwards...
Quality of your videos is crazy good nowadays! Love the drone footage :-)
Hello, dear friends. After five years with the DriveMag Riders, it's time for a new step. Two weeks ago we launched a new CZcams channel, and we're not a part of the Riders anymore. We're missing you, so join us in this new adventure. :D Cristian and Bogdanel.
Congratulations for your CZcams Award, which I think you truly deserve. Oh, by the way, another very fine and helpful video. Thanks for making and sharing
That's why I love this channel. Half way through the video and they've already declared a winner. My curiosity forced me to finish the video and I wasn't disappointed. Thanks guys.
To Christian. I still miss you buddy. God be with you.
Congratulations on the award! Love this channel and look forward to your videos! Keep up the awesome work!
Congrats from Portugal 👏🏼👏🏼
It’s always a pleasure to watch your reviews! Keep up the awesome work 😎🏍✊🏼
Really like that you guys put your plaque in a random video instead of creating a video entirely for it, its refreshing, and unique
I could have bought any mid-weight adventure bike. The motor and shifting on the Triumph is best over all the brands I tested. Traded my 2020 BMW R1250GSA for Tiger 900 Rally Pro and no regrets!!
Rest in Peace Christian 😔 I've been an avid follower from Istanbul.. You'll be sorely missed....
Can you please tell me the full name ?
@@Arjun.Ambadi. Cristian Predoi
Congratulations on the well-deserved success guys - onwards and upwards: keep it up!
The straightforward delivery and practical observations are nice.
Many reviewers concentrate on things that don't have much impact and avoid the things people really want to hear about.
Honda starts no mater if the display loads or not,you don't have to wait to start the engine,it will load even if you start riding and you can press the enter button to go in the main paige,and you buy Honda to ride all your life,not to keep it in service like other brands..🙂
Thank you so much for all the hard work you do . And for taking us on great adventures with all your great videos. don't stop ever please
Nice review guys. You got some great beautiful footage of the rides. And I love you real world descriptions and analysis.
2 great bikes evaluated comprehensively by 2 great riders. Thank you for guiding the adventure motorcycling community.
Congratulations guys. Keep up the good work.

Went from a klr to a 2021 ATAS manual and I’ll never regret it! Dealers everywhere, parts everywhere but reliability forever!
This is an outstanding film. The long, side tracking shots are fantastic, normal speed or slo-mo. Your tourist board should be thanking you too. Beautiful.
Your channel is very good, technically qualified, excellent, visually appealing, honest. Congratulations from Italy.

Congrats on the 100k! I really enjoy your channel and the reviews. Looking forward to hearing about the 1,000k subs!
Congratulations on passing 100K. Your content is fantastic. Keep up the good work 🤜🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Keep the good work guys, love your reviews. Bafta!
You guys really went deep on this comparison! The one group I ride with, all 4 ride Triumphs, 2-800s and 2-900s. I think your observations are spot on. My only problem with the Africa twin is it’s awfully heavy for a man of my age, 68. However, I will not sell it until I can no longer ride it. I have found a workaround, riding a CRF 300L to gain off-road skill,that can be applied to the Twin.
I have a 2014 Tiger 800, I am glad to hear they made some changes to the engine placement and weight moving down especially. I may have to go test ride one. I can't imagine the Africa Twin is feeling heavier. My Triumph is so top heavy.
Congrats on 100k subs. I enjoy your production and edit. Congrats to the staff
Great Video as usually 👌
Be safe and Thank you !!
Cheers from USA !
You deserve your award. Great job your videos !
Great video .I have Africa Twin Adventure sports 2018 and i absolutely love it.
You have a great channel! Cheers from the U.S.A.!
Trank you for all the fantastisch Reports.
Amazing production guys!
Love these videos! Thanks!
YOu guys produce great content! Congrats on the milestone.
Thank you for such an honest review 🙂 and not sticking to the script given by the manufacturer
We'll be miss you Cristian thanks for everything
You deserve it guys and a lot more than this!!! 👏👏👏
Congrats from Southern California! Not surprised, great channel.
I enjoy your reviews. keep up the good work.
My two best bikes going head to head. Fantastic show. Great passion.
That right phrase : when you ride Atwin you feel like you cab conquered the world! Best and precisely slogan for this amazing mashine! Merry Christmas 🎄
Don’t understand why everybody that tests the Africa twin always uses the DCT which is not a fair comparison.
He said manual version was not available for the test.
@@jobrn1 Understandable, but then it's not a good comparison. DCT is best suited for road, manual clearly gives rider more control and connection to off road conditions, inc less weight. By not postponing test until manual availability, it may sway some to not appreciate AT in rough off-roading.
It was always the same back when it launched in 2016 and ever since, may be it's just Honda pushing it. You've got to play along if you wanna get some bikes :P
@@diogomorato Sadly your right. The trend is clear, more and more electronics and computers taking over riding control, guess many want that as it sells. At least the new Yamaha T700 didn't go overboard.
@@larryj8924 whats wrong with using dct in manual mode?
Love your videos!
Another great comparison video . I’m leaning towards the triumph more and more.
you guys are awesome!!!! great job!!
Fantastic thoughts on these bikes. Thanks
Hello guys, congratulations on CZcams 100k subscribers, keep it going, honesty is the key.
Question, do you think the previous generation of Tiger would have been more competitive for the Honda?
Cheers from Scotland.
I personally enjoyed the previous one on asphalt. I dare to say that for me it felt better than the new one. But not on gravel and enduro. Cristian
Always great videos guys
Thanks for amazing presentation! Fair conclusion!
CONGRATS BROS,,, YOU DESERVE IT
Great Channel. Hugs from a Brazilian fan
Quality of video is excellent!
Love the 2020 Africa twin. Loaded with amazing tech. If only people would actually try to use it. Getting sick hearing bike testers on CZcams say that there are ‘too many buttons’. It’s not rocket science. Seriously. CarPlay on this bike is immense. I just wish Honda Uk were as good as bmw for after sales support. Bmw can ship parts to my dealer overnight. Honda ? Been waiting on part of a kit deal and the crash bars for months. Puts me off Honda in future.
Dct is more a road oriented feature imo for the adventure sport. The lighter version for offroad opt for manual.
My buddy took a gamble with the DCT & loves it. The 1000cc one. I’m keen on trying the 1100 new one but can’t decide. I’m more for touring for 16-17 hour rids ... almost zero percent off road.
@@rajindarsingh1417 sounds like you might be better suited perhaps to a Gold Wing or BMW K1600 GT - unless you really like the riding position of the Africa Twin.
theonlyredspecial - I had a GS1200. I need an adventure bike as opposed to the GW , because I don’t like to baby my bike. I’ll have to cover it up all the time & keep it away from the sun. Maybe a Tenere ( a real tank )
@@rajindarsingh1417 Like you, I'm heavily biased towards on-road. I'm trying to decide between AT (manual probably) and Ducati 950S. I've always loved my Ducatis, and I think it would be way more comfortable for long rides than the AT, but the lack of dealers in the U.S. is a big concern; there are Honda dealers everywhere. I haven't ridden either one yet. If the AT is really top heavy as most people say, and uncomfortable, then I'll go Ducati and hope for good reliability like I've had in the past.
@@rajindarsingh1417 Wow! A Tenere for 16 hours a day? Great for off-road, but I can't imagine that.
high level video. thank you
Congratulations on exceeding 100K subscribers! A fan of your reviews and production effort. Yamaha T7 or KTM 790 R probably a better fit for me as they both offer more off-road agility though at the cost of on-road comfort and touring capacity.
congrats for your 100k subs!
Well done on your reward as well. Really great chanel :)
I like your honesty and the way you parley
Excellent review!!
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎊🎉 100k
Great video 👏
Christian and Bogdan sir u all r really awesome in every aspects Big fan from India 😊😊
Congratulations 🍾
Excellent review of bikes and congratulations on 100ks subscriber's just subscribed
Well done video...go ahead likes this! 👍
Congratulations! A DCT on an off-road bike was always a terrible idea to me. That new Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is fantastic. I test rode one and almost bought it on the spot, but there is $5000US difference in price between the base 900 and the Rally Pro.
Thanks again guys for your great analysis.JHB-SA.
Congrats!!
Congratulations! Make more nice vids... and longer trips!
Really nice to see you making better videos all the time. And the discussions are getting better and better. It's not always about being faster. I do feel like most new bikes are to fragile, heavy and the joy of riding is hindered by having to navigate the menu's to turn off TCS.
I miss the fall, pickup, kick and go attitude of some older bikes.
Congrats from Sweden. Longing for a ride in Romania.
This video was like a 30mins meditation
You forgot to mention one of the greatest strengths of the Tiger... It has one of the best, if not the best, quickshifter and auto blipper in any motorcycle.
Great point ! A quality quickshifter makes the 20 pound DCT irrelevant. The Triumph quickshifter is silky smooth compared to the clunky BMW unit, its on par with Aprilia
@@RedC63AMG Have you ever tried the DCT? ;) I like it.... The weak point is the infotainment system..
I test rode Triumph and yea it's quickshifter was great. But I needed to kick shifting lever rather pushing it to shift. It was a bit odd. Also rode Africa DCT and manual and I would go for manual version just to save that weight. Gearbox in Honda is just perfect no need for DCT. But that is my preference.
Look at roadcraft Nottingham bad build tiger
Congrats! 😊👍🏻
Primero felicitaciones por los 100k de seguidores... Eso habla de buen producto que Ustedes nos ofrecen... Sobretodo por creo que son opiniones bien de usuario de motos y no con la "camiseta" de una marca en particular...
Segundo muy buena la comparativa entre Honda y Triumph... Muchas gracias por las imágenes!!
