Result

Strong, what Voge can do with the DS 625 X for less than 7,000 euros (gross incl. transfer). This adventure bike is made of high quality and offers a lot of good hardware: e.g. an adjustable suspension from Kayaba, Nissin brakes and Metzeler tires - just to name a few things. So the equipment is good and Voge has also thought of a very respectable top-loader pannier set including a top case for only 1,299 euros.

If you're worried that you're standing in front of some Billo bike from China, we can reassure you: The Voge DS 625 X is really well made and offers many pleasing details that are often only available from the competition for an extra charge. Would you like some examples? Engine guard, aluminum engine guard, fog auxiliary lights, tire pressure monitoring, running light indicators, center stand, hand guards, illuminated switches ... everything on board in series - for less than 7,000 euros.

Conclusion - what sticks

The Benelli TRK 702 is a well-made adventure bike for the road. If you prefer to ride off-road, you should take a look at the TRK 702 X with a 19-inch rim at the front, longer suspension travel and mixed tires. The TRK surprises with a grown-up appearance and benevolent driving characteristics. The 70 hp inline twin is fun and sounds very good to our ears. Thanks to the tubular steel trellis frame, the machine also looks great. But the real highlight of this bike is without question the price: 7,299 euros - so the competition has to dress warmly!
