Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 2022

With its three-cylinder engine and high-quality equipment, Triumph has made a real statement with the Tiger Sport 660. In the small sports tourer class, it stands out from the field and offers a good compromise between sportiness and touring suitability. We would recommend the quickshifter to every buyer and we hope that Triumph will optimise the chassis in the next model revision. A real recommendation for fans of compact touring motorbikes!

great engine

optional quickshifter is a MUST

comfortable ergonomics

high-quality equipment

good wind protection

Chassis too soft at sporty speeds

KTM 890 Adventure 2022

It is still one of the sportiest touring enduros on the market. Hardly any other mid-range adventure bike with a 21-inch front wheel can be moved as fast, hard and precisely as the KTM. For 2023, it has been given a revised and now also adjustable chassis, which still fits the sporty character but provides a little more comfort in the saddle. The engine can now definitely be described as mature. With its powerful character, clean response and hardly any vibrations, the engine from Mattighofen has many fans. With the model update, new electronics have found their way onto the KTM. ABS and traction control now regulate even more sensitively and are better tuned to the riding modes. The new 5-inch display always provides a perfect overview.

Proven and confident engine

comparatively low weight

improved chassis

more comfortable seat

combination of riding modes and ABS setting

quickshifter works excellently

Made in Austria.

Windshield not adjustable

too little suspension travel for hard terrain

many useful extras at extra cost
