Ok so am no technical guru and need some advice. For me, weighing 120kg, suspension is one of the most important aspects when buying a bike!!
My question: For 45% tar 45% gravel & 10% technical gavel/sand which bike will have the better suspension between the new Tiger and KTM?
Tiger 800 XcX :
WP suspension; The WP 43mm USD fork, with rebound and compression damping is easily adjustable through dedicated clickers on the fork tops. The rear suspension unit is a WP mono shock adjustable for preload and rebound damping and has a dedicated dirt protector for the RSU body.
KTM 1050 : WP Suspension Up Side Down
Shock absorber WP Suspension monoshock
(Or, should I look at the 800GS ? - I must mention that my 1200GS sometimes bottom out with suspension set to "hard" and "rocks" )
