Triumph Rocket 3 R 2023

Triumph Rocket 3 R 2023

Despite its weight and huge dimensions, the Triumph Rocket 3 R surprises with good-natured and easy handling. The highlight of this machine is clearly the incredible 2.5-litre three-cylinder engine. Thrust in every situation and a lot of emotion are the order of the day. Fortunately, the chassis and brakes have not been skimped on either, which is why the Rocket 3 R is a fascinating package for torque lovers.

Extremely powerful engine

neutral handling

comfortable ergonomics

lots of electronics

powerful brakes

stable chassis

an all-round fascinating motorbike.

little leaning freedom

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

KTM 1090 Adventure 2018

The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.

Very powerful, cultivated engine with wide rev range

performance modes

ABS can be switched off

adjustable traction control

agile and safe handling

adjustable ergonomics

height-adjustable windshield

low weight

comparatively low price.

Optics seem outdated by the new 1290 Super Adventures

suspension fork not adjustable
