Models with large engines already easily exceed R$ 60 thousand; What makes the variants more expensive is the preparation for off-road.
Big trail motorcycles have been the fashion of the Brazilian market for a few years now. Ergonomic and ready to face any challenge, they still have an advantage on bumpy roads across the country.
This fame of the category has made more and more options appear, and today there are few brands that do not take risks in this segment. As a result, the search for the cheapest big trails becomes increasingly laborious.

It is important to note that, to consider the list, we only classify motorcycles with engines of more than 700 cm³ of displacement. All are multiterrain, doing well both on asphalt and off-road. We also only considered models, and variants of the versions were not listed.
As incredible as it may seem, the Italian Ducati appears among the 10 cheapest big trails in Brazil, as the DesertX manages to be R$ 1.000 cheaper than the darling BMW R 1300 GS.
Inspired by the enduro bikes of the 1980s, the Italian big trail bets on a cleaner look and clearly aimed at off-road, differentiating itself from the more asphalt-focused adventurers.
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 21/18-inch wheels reinforce the adventurous DNA of the big trail bike.
The technological package includes multiple driving modes, traction control, cornering ABS and connectivity, placing the DesertX as one of the most complete big trails on the list. Even with a high price by general standards, it is among the cheapest motorcycles when compared to other high-displacement big trails available in the Brazilian market.
The Triumph Tiger 1200 Black Edition appears among the cheapest big trail bikes in Brazil as another high-level option within the adventurous segment. Even though it is a limited edition (with the same characteristics as the 1200 GT Pro), the model had strong acceptance in the domestic market, which led Triumph to release a new batch to meet the high demand, keeping the price competitive within the category. This trail is the cheapest among the versions of the 1200 of the English brand.
Equipped with a 1,160 cm³ three-cylinder engine, which delivers 150 hp of power and 13 kgfm of torque, the Tiger 1200 combines high performance with improvements aimed at comfort and riding on long trips. Updates to the mechanical assembly made the torque delivery smoother at low revs, an important feature for a large big trail bike.
In addition, the Black Edition version stands out for its exclusive finish and complete technological package, in addition to a maintenance interval every 16 thousand km.
In eighth place comes one of the most desired on the entire market, after all it is the largest Honda suitable for off-road – but also extended to the asphalt.
The Africa Twin arrives for R$ 85.500 in its cheapest variant, with only a traditional gearbox with slipper clutch. The ES and Adventure Sport variants have the DCT automated system, but raise the value of the model to R$ 96.346 and R$ 116.513, respectively.
Equipped with a 1,084 cm³ parallel twin-cylinder engine, the Africa Twin delivers 102 hp of power and a progressive response, favoring control on varied terrain. This behavior makes Honda’s big trail friendly to different rider profiles, from those who are migrating to larger bikes to more experienced adventurers.

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is one of the big trail bikes that stands out the most in the segment when it drops below 1,000 cm³, combining high performance, comfort and a robust technological package. 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 cavalry to meet the A2 license standards.
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 ergonomics designed for long trips. The Marzocchi suspension set, the redesigned seat with height adjustment and the 7-inch TFT panel with connectivity reinforce the touring profile of the British big trail bike.
Priced at around R$ 81.690, the Tiger 900 GT Pro perhaps only sins in the bad characteristic of high temperatures between the legs, bothering at low speeds on hot days.
The BMW F 900 GS stands out among the German manufacturer and bets on more performance and off-road capability, without moving away from the more contained cost proposal compared to larger rivals. With an 895 cm³ engine, tuned for 90 hp of power and 9,4 kgfm of torque, the big trail also draws attention for its weight reduction compared to the previous generation, which improves chassis and riding off the asphalt.
Among the highlights are the advanced electronic package, with riding modes, traction control, quickshifter, cruise control and TFT panel with connectivity. Sold from R$ 78.900, the F 900 GS is among the cheapest big trails with medium-high engine, being an option for those looking for a sportier big trail bike prepared for off-road adventures.

The Japanese is equipped with a 1,037 cm³ V-twin engine, capable of delivering 107 hp of power and 10,5 kgfm of torque, numbers that guarantee good performance on long trips and road use.
The V-Strom 1050 proposal is clearly focused on asphalt, prioritizing comfort, stability and autonomy. Those interested in a more off-road variant can spend a little more on the V-Strom 1050/XT, which has larger wheels and better adjustments for rough terrain.
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 has been sold since 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 is the official motorcycle of Japanese rally competitions. The long-travel suspensions, with complete adjustments, the reinforced chassis and the ergonomics designed for standing riding reinforce the adventurous DNA of the Japanese big trail bike.
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 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 bike, 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, 21/18-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. With a suggested public price of R$ 65.545, the XL750 Transalp stands out among the cheapest motorcycles in the big trail motorcycle segment and is an option for those who don’t want to pay so much for an Africa Twin.
But beware: don’t be alarmed if you find the model around R$ 70 thousand; after all, R$ 65.545 is just the suggested public price.
The Suzuki V-Strom 800 is the cheapest big trail bike in Brazil. With a suggested price in the range of R$ 63.800, the model attracts those who want a large trail, but still do not intend to spend so much or exceed 1.000 cm³.
