The bike that made big-trip automatics credible. The latest DCT reads inclines, lean and throttle to pick gears intelligently on or off the tarmac.

The bike that made automatic adventure credible.
On the road

Long-travel suspension, a torquey twin and genuine off-road geometry make this a proper globe-crosser. On the road it's tall but composed; off it, deeply capable in the right hands.

The automatic bit

This is the cleverest DCT of the lot off-road — it reads incline, lean and throttle to pick gears, freeing you to focus on the terrain rather than a clutch. Sceptics tend to become converts fast.

Living with it

A huge tank means real range, and the adventure-tourer spec is comprehensive. It's heavy at walking pace and the seat is tall, so it rewards riders with the height and the intent to use it.

The verdict

Proof that an automatic can be a serious adventure bike. The DCT is a revelation off-road once you trust it — fewer things to juggle when the going gets technical.
