The Honda XL750 Transalp marked the return of a historic name and was right to bet on a balanced proposal between road, dirt and travel. The new generation has evolved in look and chassis, pleasing the public by positioning itself as a versatile big trail, without the radical appeal of trails more focused on extreme off-road.
Equipped with a 755 cm³ twin-cylinder engine, which delivers 69.3 hp of power and 7.04 kgfm of torque, the Transalp offers progressive and predictable driving, working well both on asphalt and on light dirt roads. The long-travel suspensions, 21 and 18-inch wheels and well-resolved ergonomics reinforce the feeling of control, a feature valued in a big trail of this size.
The technological package includes riding modes, traction control and switchable ABS, as well as a color TFT panel.
The whole set transforms Honda’s newest motorcycle in Brazil into one of the manufacturer’s most balanced big trails.
The Yamaha Ténéré 700 was one of the most anticipated big trail bikes of recent years in Brazil. Officially announced for R$ 72.990, the T7 went on sale in October, ending a wait that had dragged on since 2019 among brand enthusiasts.
The model has the renowned 690 cm³ CP2 twin-cylinder engine, now with electronic throttle, and bets on a chassis clearly aimed at difficult terrain – after all, it carries strong inspiration from the Japanese manufacturer’s rally bikes. The long-travel suspensions with full adjustments, the reinforced chassis and the ergonomics designed for standing riding reinforce the bike’s adventurous DNA.
Even with an off-road focus, the Ténéré 700 has evolved in technology, bringing a TFT panel with connectivity, traction control and switchable ABS.
The model is Yamaha’s cheapest big trail bike in Brazil — not least because it is also the only one of the brand in this segment here. Those looking for more intense challenges can bet on this trail.
The Suzuki V-Strom 800 is the brand’s cheapest big trail bike in Brazil. With a suggested price in the range of R$ 64.900, the model attracts those who want a larger adventurer, but still do not intend to invest in motorcycles above 1.000 cm³.
Equipped with a 776 cm³ in-line twin-cylinder engine, capable of delivering 84 hp of power and 7,95 kgfm of torque, the Japanese big trail bets on a progressive and efficient delivery, especially at low revs. The chassis reinforces the adventurous appeal, with long-travel Showa suspensions, 21 and 18-inch wheels and good ground clearance, allowing you to face mixed routes safely.
In the technological package, the bike features riding modes, traction control with a specific function for gravel, bidirectional quickshifter and color TFT panel.
For those looking for even more off-road vocation, there is also the V-Strom 800 DE variant, more prepared for the dirt, with a price starting at R$ 67.500.
The BMW F 800 GS represents the German brand’s gateway to the big trail segment. Equipped with an 895 cm³ twin-cylinder engine, the motorcycle delivers 87 hp of power and 9,2 kgfm of torque, combining good performance with a versatile proposal for urban, road and light dirt road use.
Even though it is the brand’s most affordable option in this category, the model brings a consistent technological package, with a color TFT panel, connectivity, full LED lighting, cruise control, heated grips and a keyless start system.
With a price starting at R$ 69.900, the F 800 GS also stands out among the relatively more affordable big trails in the Brazilian market.
The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is the big trail of a premium brand that traditionally works with larger engines. Even with the arrival of smaller models in recent years, the 900 remains one of the British manufacturer’s main options for those looking for versatility.
In Brazil, the model maintains the three-cylinder engine with 108 hp of power and 9,18 kgfm of torque, a more powerful configuration than the version recently presented in Europe, where the brand reduced the power to meet the standards of the A2 license.
Aimed at mixed use, the Tiger 900 GT Pro stands out for its good compromise between asphalt and light dirt roads — leaving the heavier off-road for the Rally variant — in addition to the ergonomics designed for long trips.
The Marzocchi suspension set, height-adjustable seat and 7-inch TFT panel with connectivity reinforces the touring profile of the British big trail.
Priced at around R$ 81.690, the Tiger 900 GT Pro perhaps sins only for the characteristic of transmitting high temperatures between the legs at low speeds, something reported by some users on warmer days.
The Italian famous for its sports models also takes risks off-road with the DesertX. Inspired by the enduro bikes of the 1980s, the big trail bets on a clean look and clearly aimed at off-road.
Equipped with a 937 cm³ twin-cylinder engine, which delivers 110 hp of power and 9.4 kgfm of torque, the DesertX combines high performance with a chassis prepared for difficult terrain. Long-travel suspensions, high ground clearance and 21 and 18-inch wheels reinforce the bike’s adventurous DNA.
The technological package includes multiple driving modes, traction control, cornering ABS and connectivity, placing the DesertX among the most complete big trails on the list.
Even with a high price by general standards, it appears among the most affordable options within the universe of high-displacement big trails.
Harley-Davidson also entered the big trail segment with the Pan America 1250, a model that marked the debut of the traditional North American manufacturer in the universe of adventure motorcycles.
Equipped with the 1,252 cm³ Revolution Max 1250 engine, the bike delivers about 150 hp of power and 12,9 kgfm of torque, numbers that place the big trail among the most powerful in the category. The set was developed to offer performance both on asphalt and on dirt tracks.
The chassis includes long-travel suspensions, 19-inch wheels at the front and 17 at the rear, as well as a very complete electronic package. Among the features are riding modes, traction control, cornering ABS and color TFT panel with connectivity.
The Pan America also stands out for its Adaptive Ride Height technology, which can automatically reduce the height of the bike when stopping, making it easier to support your feet on the ground.
In Brazil, Harley-Davidson’s big trail has a price that starts from the range of R$ 139 thousand, positioning itself as the brand’s gateway to the adventurous segment.
